Aileron to Rudder
TheAilerontoRuddermixiscommonlyusedforcoordinatedturns.
When active, as aileron is applied the rudder moves in the same
direction as the turn (right aileron input results in right rudder
output). If you assign the flight mode to a switch, a Sub Switch
option allows you to assign an additional switch to activate up to 3
AilerontoRuddermixesforthatightmode.
Aileron to Flap
TheAilerontoFlapmixallowstheentiretrailingedgeofthewing
(aileron and flap) to operate as ailerons. When active, as aileron is
applied the flaps also move. Always program the flaps to move in
the same direction as the turn (so that right aileron is equivalent to
flaps moving as right ailerons).
Elevator to Flap
ElevatortoFlapmixcreatesadditionallift,allowingatighterturn.
The entire trailing edge of the wing (aileron and flap) operates
as flaps (camber increase) when you apply elevator. An offset is
provided, which is typically used for Snap Flaps. With Snap Flap,
noElevatortoFlapmixoccursuntiltheoffsetvalueisreached.
Typically, this offset is at 70% up elevator so that beyond 70%
thedownapmixcomesin,providingadditionalliftformore
aggressive turning (for tight thermals or racing turns).

from 60 to 100% of flap travel.
For sailplanes with ailerons/tips/flaps, make sure an appropriate
Sailplane Type is selected so that tips appear in the transmitter as
RAIL and LAIL. Decrease or increase travel on the tip ailerons by
creatinganAIL>RAILmix.

mode. Programming values include independent control of the direction and amount a slave surface moves in relationship to the master
surface.
The V-Tail Differential screen enables you to increase or decrease
the amount of differential between control surface throws.
Positive Differential values decrease the amount of “down” travel
without affecting the “up” travel on the opposite control surface.
Negative Differential values decrease the amount of “up” travel
without affecting the amount of “down” travel on the opposite
control surface.
The V-Tail Differential menu option only appears when V-Tail A or
V-Tail B is active in Aircraft Type.
To adjust the V-Tail Differential:
1. Scroll to Switch and press the scroll wheel. Scroll right to
selectOn(Differentialisalwayson)orassignthedifferentialto
a switch position.
2. Press the scroll wheel a second time to save the selection.
3. Scroll to Diff: and press the scroll wheel once to change the value.
4. Press the scroll wheel again to save the selection.
