26. Press one of the Up Down Edit buttons until the CAMB
window appears, as shown. Activate it using the CLEAR
button. The CAMB mode is OFF unless the FLT MODE
switch SW-4 is forward. (You can change this switch in the
SWITCH
SELECT menu.)
27. Hit the Cursor Right key one time to get to the Ch1 preset
menu. Press the Data +Increase key to input a preset
value
for the CH1 aileron. Start out with a moderate value
and
increase it after you've seen how the model behaves.
OFF
28. Press the Cursor Right key to move the arrow over the
numeral
2 . Now press the Data +Increase key to change
the
percentage the elevator moves to. This should be set a
very
small number, as it will affect the trim considerably.
Don't
use too much or it could crash your model.
29. Press the Cursor Right key one more time, and you may
now
input the second aileron's CH5 setting. Set it to match
the
CH1 servo's travel.
30. If you want this airbrake function to be a proportional control
using
the left slide lever, use the CROW menu instead of
the CAMB menu. See the setup instruction for more
information
on the CROW menu.
31. Elevator->Flaperon Mixing: you may want to set up your
model
so that when you pull elevator, the two ailerons
droop
for tighter corners. This may be done with
Programmable mixers . You will use both of the
programmable
mixers ( PMX1, PMX2 ) for this feature.
For a little down flap when you pull elevator, set the master
channel to be elevator, and the slave to be aileron 1 (CH1).
32.
To program this mixing, first get to the PMX1 window.
Press
one of the Edit Up/Down keys until you see PMX1
displayed. Then press the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key to
activate
it (a flashing ON or OFF will appear, depending on
the
position of the selected ON-OFF switch, which turns
mixer
#1 on and off).
33. Next, press the Cursor Right key once to select the master
channel
( MAS flashes on and off), then press the Data
+Increase key until the little arrow moves over the
numeral 2 , indicating CH2 (elevator) is the master channel.
Press
the Cursor Right key once ( SLV flashes on and off),
then
press the Data +Increase key until the little arrow is
under
the numeral 1 , indicating CH1 (aileron 1) is the slave
channel.
34. Now, you'll define the mixing percentage. Notice that the
mixer
starts with 100% on both sides, which is WAY too
much.
Move the elevator stick down and press the Clear
button, zeroing the percentage. Move it up and repeat.
Now
both sides are set to zero percent.
35. You'll probably want to input down flap for up elevator only.
Move
the elevator stick up and press the Data +Increase
until you can see which way the elevator moves; if incorrect,
press
the Data -Decrease key until the plus sign changes to
minus
sign. You'll end up with a number for up elevator
direction,
and zero for the down direction. Start with only
5-10% mixing on the UP side until you know how much you
need
from actual test flying. Too much droop increases
drag
and slows the model down.
36. Be sure you understand how to set the switch to turn PMX1
on and off, since you only want this on during racing. Later,
after
you fly the model you may fine-tune the amount of
aileron
travel for tighter turns.
Use the other mixer to set up the droop of the second
aileron,
CH5 , in the same way. In this mixer, master = CH2,
slave
= CH5. Set the mixing percentages so that both
ailerons
droop the same amount, or else your model will
roll when you pull elevator!
This introduction just scratches the surface of the
capabilities
of your Optic system for a five-channel electric
model.
Please read the manual so you'll know what other
features
you can take advantage of. We hope you enjoy
using
your Optic system!
