Sailplane Section 18
Flight Mode Delay Adjust
The flight mode delay adjust screen allows a delay of
up to 2 seconds to be programmed to each of the 5
flight modes. This delay affects the flap, flaperon and
elevator (and rudder and aileron if activated) presets
such that when switching from one flight mode to
another the servos don’t rapidly change to their
intended preset position. A break-off function is
available for each flight mode that bypasses the delay
at a given programmed elevator stick position. This is
useful during launch when you my wish to switch from
the launch flight mode to cruise for zoom and need the
delay to be overridden. In this case, the break-off can
be set for slight down elevator in the cruise mode.
Note: In order for the flight mode delay adjustment to
operate, flight modes must be programmed in device
select and each must have different trim presets. See
Device Select Pg. 6 and Servo Monitor pg. 29 for more
details.
To access flight mode delay adjust, in FUNC.LIST
rotate the Selector until FM Delay is highlighted. Press

Rotate the Selector to adjust the value. Values from

off value, rotate the Selector to highlight the desired
break-off flight mode then press the Selector to access
this value. To access the elevator stick position, rotate
the Selector to highlight ELEV Stick then press the
Selector to access this value. Press the Selector to
store the value. Press the LIST button to return to the
Function Mode screen.
