Selection of Model Type

Type 1: NORMAL

The majority of model aircraft belong in this

category. It comprises all power and sailplane

models with elevator, rudder, ailerons and

throttle (or in the case of gliders; the spoilers),

which are actuated by one servo for each of the

controls. The situation remains unchanged even

if additional control channels are used to actuate

supplementary functions, such as retracts, glider

tug release couplings, mixture adjust or flaps

(such as plain flaps) of sailplane models. Any

options available, and sensible, in conjunction

with this configuration are provided here. In the

case of a model equipped with a V-Tail

(replacing the conventional type of tailplane), a

special mixer may be used, which combines the

control functions of elevator and rudder in such a

manner as to provide each of the control

surfaces, each controlled by a separate servo,

with elevator plus rudder functions. For more

complex applications, such as automatic

compensation of elevator trim on actuation of

flaps, no less than nine freely programmable

mixers are available, permitting such functions to

be tailored to prevailing conditions.

Type 2: NORMAL/DIFF

This type of model differs from type 1 (NORMAL)

only by the provision of two separate servos for

the actuation of the ailerons instead of a

common servo. In this manner differential control

of ailerons is provided, permitting the downward

deflection of an aileron to be adjusted

independently of the upward displacement.. This

is achieved using code 22. The independent

operation of the two ailerons by one servo each

provides additional options, such as deflection of

these control surfaces in the same dire ction,

using them as plain flaps or flaperons. This

option, too, is available to suit the modeller’s

requirements, thanks to the availability of nine

freely programmable mixers.

Type 3: DELTA/DIFF

Type 3 corresponds to type 2, differing from the

latter in that in deltas and flying wing models the

elevator and aileron functions are performed by

common control surfaces located at the trailing

edges of the right and left wing panels and

moving either in the same direction or in the

opposite one. Each control surface being

controlled by an independent servo, and with the

correct mixture of aileron and elevator control

provided for already. All other options are

available with restrictions, including the nine

freely programmable mixers.

Type 4: UNIFLY/DIFF

This type of model is a variant of type 2. It is

meant for power models and sailplanes, where

the plain flaps are actuated by a single servo, or

the full-span ailerons are to operate as a

combination of flaps and ailerons (flaperons).

For this application the freely programmable

mixers 1…5 have already been occupied by

certain special functions, just as if one had

adjusted type 2 to perform the mixer allocations

oneself via code 51. This mixer allocation, which

functions the combi-mix aileron-rudder, flaperon

mix, elevator compensation on actuation of

spoilers, elevator compensation on actuation of

flaps and throttle pre-selection are realised, is

not a compulsory one; it may be modified to suit

the modeller’s intentions, expanded by the

additional four freely programmable mixers or

cancelled entirely (re-creating type 2 again).

Type 5: QUADRO-FLAP

Type 5 is also a variant of type 2, just like type 4.

It is meant mainly for large sailplane models,

each wing panel of which is equipped with one

servo for each aileron and flap, giving a total of 4

servos. Here, too, the special functions are

realised by pre-adjusting of freely programmable

mixers 1…5 for combi-mix aileron-rudder,

flaperon mix, elevator compensation on

actuation of spoilers, elevator compensation on

actuation of flaps and mixing aileron function into

the flap function. Here again mixer allocation can

be modified, expanded or cancelled at any time.

Type 6: F3B (3 wing servos)

Type 6 is for F3B contest sailplane models, each

aileron of which is actuated by a separate servo,

while the plain flaps are operated by one

common servo. The universal Profi program can

also be used for models have two wing mounted

servos. In this case the functions not required

are left unoccupied in the receiver.

Options specifically meant for power models are

missing here. However, there are available all

kinds of imaginable mixing and coupling

functions between aileron, elevator, rudder,

spoilers and plain flaps, which are realised by

special mixers. For the different tasks, dura tion,

distance, speed and start, pertinent elevator trim

data and flap settings can be stored and called
