The purpose of Wing Mixing or Wing Type Function is to
eliminate mechanical or programmable mixes that would
otherwise be necessary for the proper flight of certain styles of
aircraft. There are three wing types from which to choose; select
the one that best suits your R/C aircraft. They are as follows:
Normal, flaperon, and elevon (delta). Each of the wing type
selections will be covered in a separate section.
Normal Wing Type Selection
This is the first wing type selection that appears on your LCD
display. Use this wing type with common aircraft that utilize only
one servo for both ailerons.
Flaperon Wing Type Selection
Flaperon allows you to use the existing ailerons as flaps. The
ailerons can be raised or lowered in unison as flaps, yet still
remain fully operational as the ailerons of your R/C airplane.
Flaperon Connections
Connect the left aileron to AUX1 RX port and right aileron to
AILE servo port. In System Set-Up Mode, press the UP or DN
key to select the Wing Type function. Then press the UP and DN
keys simultaneously to access Wing Type function. Press either
the + or - key to access the flaperon wing type selection. Note
that each servo’s operational value is automatically set for 75%.
The applicable channels’ travel adjustment is used to adjust the
individual servo throw; while the combined aileron travel is
adjusted with the aileron dual rate. It is also possible to set
aileron differential. Reverse switches are applicable for each
servo. Neutral adjustments of each servo are made by the Sub-
Trim Function.
Elevon Wing Type Selection
Elevon, or delta as it is commonly known, is the final wing
mixing selection in your XP8103. This style of aircraft also
employs two wing servos. However, in essence, there is not an
elevator present. Instead, at an elevator stick input, the two
wing servos function in conjunction with one another to create
an up/down movement of the aircraft. In other words, the wing
itself functions as if it were the elevator. Also, when an aileron
control is given, the two wing servos move in opposite
directions to function as ailerons.
Elevon Connections
Link the left moving control surface to the AILE servo port and the
right moving control surface to the ELEV servo port. Press either
the + or - keys to access the Delta (Elevon) type wing selection.
Each servo’s operational value is set automatically at 75%. The
applicable channels’ servo travel is adjustable by using the
travel adjust. Aileron and elevator travels are adjusted using
aileron and elevator dual rates. It is also possible to set aileron
differential. Reverse settings should be made by each
applicable servo. Each servo’s neutral adjustment should made
by the Sub-Trim Function.
