AIRCRAFT TYPE
Aircraft Type defines what type of model configuration the iX14+ is set up to
control. Therefore, this menu should be the first step after creating a new model.
The choices made in this menu define default channel assignments and enable
pre-defined mixes with custom menus designed specifically for the selected
application. This menu appears differently for each of the four model options
chosen from during model creation in Model Utilities.
Choosing from the common configurations in this menu opens access to other menus
not shown otherwise. Flaps, for example, can be assigned to a switch and made to
function without using one of the pre-configured options. However, by assigning the
correct wing type in the Aircraft Type menu, a Flap System menu is enabled in the
Model Adjust list. The Flap System menu gives the pilot the choice of switches and a
built-in elevator compensation mix, which makes fine-tuning an airplane for level flight
throughout the flap range much easier. Options that enable mixes will label the default
assigned channels in other menus, such as Servo Setup and Monitor.
In menus options, select an on-screen diagram that matches the control layout on the aircraft.
