The Butterfly Mix is the landing program that mixes the
flaps, flaperons (ailerons as flaps) and elevator to the
spoiler or throttle stick. Two values are available, Pos0
and Pos1. You can assign each to several different
switches or flight modes. The provided offset allows the
user’s preference for the neutral position (normally stick
up).
To access the Butterfly menu, in FUNC.LIST highlight
Butterfly. Press the Selector to access the Butterfly
menu.
Note: The default setting for offset is at +170%.
With this setting, the flap’s neutral position (trailing
edge level) occurs when the spoiler stick is in the full up
position. If you locate the neutral position in the down
position, the value would be –170%. Rotate the Selector
to highlight SW select and press to access the available
switches. The default setting is the BTF or butterfly
switch. To access the various values, rotate the Selector
to highlight them then depress to access the value. Move
the spoiler stick to the full down position and adjust the
value by rotating the Selector until the desired position
is achieved. Press the Selector to store the value. You
may wish to adjust the
SPOIELEV, however, there is a
curve mix in P-mix 1 that allows several points on a curve
to be adjusted for flap-to-elevator mixing that we will be
covering in programmable mix 1. Press the LIST button
to return to the Function Mode screen.
Flap Rate allows the independent up and down adjustment
of flaps with the lever that camber mix is assigned to. It is
assigned to either the flap lever or Aux. 3 for each flight
mode in Device Select (pg. S11). The lever-offset position
is established in camber mix above, allowing pilots to
choose the neutral position for the side lever. This offset
is in effect in the flap rate menu (see Camber Mix for
more details). Program these values before proceeding
to the camber mix menu, as the camber mix values are
based on a percentage of the flap values.
To access Flap Rate in
FUNC.LIST highlight FLAP
RATE
. Press the Selector to access the Flap Rate menu.
Highlight the desired value then press to access. With the
flight mode switch in the corresponding launch mode,
move the left side lever to the appropriate position and
adjust the value to the desired flap position. Repeat this
for all desired flight modes and flap positions. Press the
LIST button to return to the Function Mode screen.
Note: This function is only available when the motor
is programmed to the spoiler stick in the device
select menu. See Device Select Pg. S-11.
The Motor Hold feature allows the spoiler stick to be used
for multiple functions. For example, in launch mode you
can use a proportional throttle for an electric motor and
switch to another mode like landing and use the spoiler
as landing flaps. You can use the motor hold function in
conjunction with a programmable mix by mixing motor
to an AUX channel. When the motor hold mix is on, the
throttle hold program holds the throttle in the desired
position (usually motor off).
To access Motor Hold in
FUNC.LIST highlight MOTO.
HOLD
. Press the Selector to access the Motor Hold
menu. Highlight desired flight mode or switch, then press
the Selector to access on or off. Adjust the motor value
to achieve the desired throttle position for that flight mode
or switch. Press the LIST button to return to the Function
Mode screen.
