the speed the helicopter responds also changes with head speed. By putting all of the related
functions in ight modes, every function can be tailored to work correctly with the other settings
in that mode.
Sailplane: Sailplane pilots commonly use ight modes to dene a wide array of congurations,
which can have a drastic impact on how a high performance sailplane ies. Advanced sailplanes
often utilize complicated mixes to control wings with multiple servos. These mixes give the
pilot the exibility to select a ight mode that is tied to numerous functions. Pilots can have the
throttle (spoiler) stick control nothing in Launch mode. In Cruise mode, it can control a limited
amount of reex travel. In Thermal mode, it can have full span aps with limited camber travel.
In Landing mode, moving the throttle stick can deploy a crow mix (ailerons up, aps down). A
full array of other options, such as appropriate rates and elevator compensation mixes and other
features, can be individually tailored so the sailplane is optimized for each type of ying with just
the simple selection of the Flight Mode.
