The X9503 2.4 provides the ability to inhibit or otherwise
disable a number of the levers and switches on the
transmitter – GEAR, FLAP, AUX2, AUX3, and AUX4.
This is useful when auxiliary channels are used as dual
primary flight controls, such as using 2 channels/servos
for 2 Elevator halves and/or using 2 servos/channels to
operate the Rudder. In this instance, the auxiliary channels
are no longer to be operated by their auxiliary switches
but rather by the Elevator and Rudder sticks.
Note: If you will use any of the channels identified
above as a 2nd channel for a primary flight control
(AILE, ELEV, RUDD, FLAP), you must Inhibit (INH)
the switches for the channels in this function or
they will not be available to use as a second control
channel.
1. If you will use GEAR, FLAP, AUX2, AUX3, or
AUX4 as a 2nd primary flight control, then inhibit
the corresponding switch by highlighting either ACT,
SYS. or GYRO along the bottom line of the display.
Then press the Selector until INH appears under
the switches you want to turn off. The example below
shows all switches as INH or being turned off, making
them all available as a 2nd channel for a primary flight
control.
Note: When SYS appears under FLAP, the FLAP
SYSTEM function will appear in the FUNC.LIST
(described later). If the aircraft is equipped with
flaps, or equipped with Flaperons used as flaps, then
set SYS under FLAP.
Note: When GYRO appears under AUX2 or AUX3,
the Gyro Function will appear in the FUNC.LIST
(described later). If the aircraft is equipped with
1 Gyro, then set GYRO under AUX2 or AUX3. If
equipped with 2 gyros, then set GYRO under both
AUX2 and AUX3. Plug the gain lead/plug from
Gyro(s) into the AUX2 and/or AUX3 channels.
The Wing Type function provides 3 different wing types
(NORMAL, FLAPERON and DELTA). NORMAL wing type
is used when the Aileron channel is the only channel used
to control ailerons, either with 1 servo, or multiple servos
connected through a Y-harness to the aileron channel. It
is also used when the aircraft is equipped with flaps that
are separate from the ailerons. FLAPERON is typically
used when Ailerons are controlled by separate servos that
are on separate channels and there are no other flaps on
the aircraft. DELTA is used when the Ailerons are used as
both Ailerons and Elevators (Elevons) on an aircraft with a
Delta wing configuration.
The Wing Type function also provides for aircraft that
have a V-tail configuration where the 2 Elevators are used
for both Elevator and Rudder control. It also provides for
instructing the transmitter to use one or more auxiliary
channels as a 2nd or dual channel for primary flight
controls (AILE, ELEV, RUDD, FLAP). Finally, the Wing
Type function contains the Twin Engine (Twin E.) feature,
which allows for setting up a 2nd throttle channel for a
second engine, complete with its own trim and throttle
curves – great for twin-engine aircraft!
This is a very important function because a large
number of sport and aerobatic aircraft use 2 servos
and 2 channels to operate the Ailerons, providing the
opportunity to utilize Aileron Differential to make rolls
more axial and to couple Flaps with Elevator for very tight
looping maneuvers and 3D flying. Unless the aircraft has
separate flaps, the FLAPERON wing type should be used
here, as all of the mixing is accomplished automatically
by the transmitter. Setting the wing type to FLAPERON
also makes available the Aileron Differential and
Elevator-to-Flap mixing functions in the FUNC.LIST
(described later).
If the aircraft has flaps that are separate from the Ailerons,
then use the NORMAL wing type and the Dual Channel
feature to enable a 2nd Aileron channel, if desired.
