S-1
The GLID mode is intended for multi-function sailplanes.
Up to 5 flight modes are available, each allowing virtually
every parameter to be individually adjusted. Active
flight mode digital trims allow in-flight adjustments of
camber, elevator, rudder and aileron. Trim settings are
automatically stored and recalled in each individual
flight mode. Following is a list of sailplane specific
programming menus and their primary functions.
Note: When Glider Model Type is used the
servo port assignments on the receiver change to
accommodate a full-house (6 servos) sailplane using
the first 6 ports of the receiver.
GLID Model Type Servo Port Assignments
1 - LAIL
2 - RAIL
3 - ELEV
4 - RUDD
5 - MOTO/* RFLP
6 - FLAP/* LFLP
7 - AUX2
8 - AUX3
9 - AUX4
* When DUAL Flap is Activated in Wing Type
SYSTEM MODE GLID FEATURES
• Trim Step–Allows the trim authority to be adjusted
or even turned off.
• Device Select–Program Flight modes, switch and
lever locations and functions in this menu.
• Wing Type–Allows the selection of V-tail and dual
or single flap servos.
• Selectable switch positions for flight modes are
available.
FUNCTION MODE GLID FEATURES
• Elevator-to-Flap–Allows two values of elevator-
to-flap mixing with independent up and down
adjustments. Offset allows you to program snap
flaps. You can automatically select the mix in any
desired flight mode or via several switch options.
• Aileron-to-Flap–Allows two values of aileron-
to-flap mixing with independent right and left
adjustment. You can select this mix automatically
in any desired flight mode or via several switch
options.
• Aileron and Flap Differential–Separate differential
values (5) are available in each flight mode
including reverse differential (for landing). Aileron
and flap differentials are independently adjustable.
• Camber Adjust Delay–You can program a delay up
to 2 seconds for each individual flight mode so the
camber and elevator transition smoothly when you
switch flight modes. A break-off delay allows an
elevator stick position to override the delay, useful
when switching from launch to cruise mode for a
zoom launch.
• Camber Mix–Allows individual up and down
flaperon and elevator values for each of the 5 flight
modes to be adjusted via the side lever.
• Aileron-to-Rudder Mix–Features separate right
and left mix values for each of the 5 available
flight modes.
• The Butterfly Menu–Provides 2 settings for flaps,
flaperons and elevator values using the spoiler
stick. You can select each value via flight modes or
several available switches.
• Flap Rate–Allows the flap camber up and down to
be adjusted independently in each of the 5 flight
modes via the side lever(s).
• Programmable Mix 1–Spoiler-to-elevator curve
mix allows non-linear elevator compensation when
using a landing flap (butterfly/ crow) . A 6-point
adjustable curve allows precise elevator input
throughout flap travel avoiding unwanted pitching
during landings.
• 2 Timers–Count up or down, and are assignable to
various switches and buttons.
• Active Digital Flight Trims–Allow presets of
elevator, camber, rudder and aileron to be adjusted
in flight and are automatically stored and recalled
in each of the 5 flight modes.
Note: The following section contains in-depth
details regarding each of the available programming
functions. If you’re just getting started, you’ll find
it easier to use the programming guide for 6-servo
sailplanes on page S36. This step-by-step guide
leads you through a typical 6-servo sailplane and
gives the key-strokes necessary to set up a sailplane,
including flight modes, butterfly and side lever camber
adjustment.
