WING TYPE
A12
The Wing Type function provides for 3 different wing types
(NORMAL, FLAPERON and DELTA). NORMAL wing type
is used when the Aileron channel is the only channel to be
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 – an excellent feature 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 use the Dual
Channel feature to enable a 2nd Aileron channel if dual
Aileron channels are desired.
