Setting Up Differential

the
ADIF window. To begin with, the function is already
activated,
but it's set to 100% on both sides so there is no
differential.

Camber Contro
l
Your Optic system contains a special mixing function called
"Camber." You may use the Camber function to select a group
of
preset positions for channels 1, 2, and 6 (1, 2, 5, and 6 if
ADIF is activated). This is used for models requiring these
presets
for certain flying conditions. For example, many
sailplanes
use drooped ailerons and flaps to maximize their
climb
during launch. Scale models might drop ailerons and
flaps
for slower, more realistic flight.
2. A small arrow is displayed under the numeral 1 , showing
that
CH1 is the affected channel. To set the differential for
the
right aileron ( CH1 ) down travel, hold the aileron stick to
the
left side (display shows L/U ), and press the Data
Decrease key (the right aileron moves down when left
aileron
stick is commanded). Continue reducing the
percentage
until you reach about 60 %to 70 %.
3. Make sure that the up travel for the first aileron (CH1) stay
s
at 100% by holding the aileron stick to the right side (displa
y
shows R/D ) and verifying that the display shows 100 %.
4. Press the Cursor Right key once, to get to the left aileron
( CH5 ) setting menu. A small arrow is displayed under the
numeral
5 , showing that CH5 is the affected channel.
5. Move the aileron stick to the right (display shows R/D ), and
press
the Data Decrease key reducing the percentage until
you
reach about 60 %to 70 %.
6. Make sure that the up travel for the second aileron (CH5)
stays at 100% by holding the aileron stick to the left side
(display shows L/U ) and verifying that the display shows
100 %.
7. If for some reason you want a 0% setting, press the Active
/Inhibit (Clear) key. This is the maximum amount of
differential
you can get, but will reduce the roll rate if
selected.
Setting up Camber function
1. Use the Edit Up Down arrow keys to select the CAMB
window. Depending on the position of the FLT MODE
(SW-3) switch, the display will show a flashing OFF or ON.
The FLT MODE (SW-4) switch turns CAMB on when all the
way
forward.
OFF
2. First the amount of Right or first aileron offset is programmed.
Press
the Cursor Right key to get a small arrow displayed
over
the numeral 1 (representing first aileron). You may
adjust
the amount of travel with the Data +Increase and
-Decrease keys. You may use anywhere between -100%
and
+100%, but a small value of 10% or less is the
recommended
starting value. Be careful as this may have
a
significant effect on the model's trim. Press the Active/
Inhibit (Clear) key if you wish to reset to 0%.
OFF
3. Next, the amount of elevator offset is programmed. A small
arrow
is displayed over the numeral 2 (representing elevator).
You
may adjust the amount of travel with the Data +Increase
and -Decrease keys. You may use anywhere between
-100% and +100%, but a small value of 10% or less is the
recommended
starting value. Be careful as this has a very
powerful
effect on the model's trim. Press the Active/Inhibit
(Clear) key if you wish to reset to 0%.
