GLIDER ADVANCE MENU
Varied wing types and tail types (twin aileron servos, twin elevator servos, elevon, v-tail, etc). See p. 44-50 for basic information.
• FLAPERON (GLID1FLP only): 2 aileron servos operate in opposite directions as ailerons and same direction as flaps. See p. 45.
• FLAP TRIM: provides camber movement or trimming of flaperons as flaps. See p. 46.
• For sailplanes, this function is also used as wing camber. The amount depends on the model, but usually a
small amount (less than 10%) is preferred, since too much camber produces excess drag. Don’t use more than
about 1/16” travel up or down for glider camber. Some airfoils, such as the RG-15, should be flown with NO
reflex/camber. Be sure to consult your model’s manual for guidelines.
• Note that even though you may make FLAP-TRIM active while using AIL-DIFF, it will not have any effect. The
ONLY function that allows control of the ailerons as flaps in the AIL-DIFF configuration is airbrake.)
• Aileron Differential (AIL-DIFF): allows twin aileron servos to provide differential down travel from up travel. See p. 47.
• Using a 5-channel receiver with FLAPERON and AIL-DIFF. See AIL-2, p. 47.
• ELEVON: for flying wings. See p. 48.
• V-TAIL: for models with 2 servos operating together to create roll and pitch control. See p. 50.
• AILEVATOR: not available in GLID model types.
Mixes:
• Linear Programmable mixes (PROG.MIX1-5): fully assignable programmable mixes with a linear response. see p. 59.
• Curved Programmable mixes (PROG.MIX6-7): fully assignable programmable mixes with a curved response. See p. 62.
• ELEV-FLAP: pre-programmed mix creates elevator movement from the inboard flaps as well as elevators. See p. 54.
• BUTTERFLY: Often called crow, BUTTERFLY is the glider version of AIRBRAKE. (BUTTERFLY does not have the option
to activate it solely from a switch, and its activation switch is not assignable. BUTTERFLY may only be turned on/off
by S
WITCH A, and always provides progressively more BUTTERFLY as the CHANNEL 3 (THROTTLE) STICK is lowered,
or raised if used THR-REV, p. 31.) See AIRBRAKE, p. 55.
Full Span Mixing: Flap-to-Aileron and Aileron-to-Flap
• FLAP-AILE (GLID2FLP only): This pre-programmed mix is used to create full span flap action on a glider with 4 wing servos.
This changes the camber over the entire wing, which produces less drag than just dropping the flaps by themselves. Since
FLAP-AILE and AILE-FLAP are generally utilized together, one example is shown below setting up both. NOTE: When you
have ELEV-FLAP mixing also, the trailing edge droops with the elevators, increasing pitch response.
Adjustability:
• RATE range of -100 to +100. Negative setting would result in up flaperon with down flap and vice versa.
• OFFSET range of –30 to +30. Setting offset position sets the flap position at which the flaperons are neutral. Intended
for models that do not have the flaps positioned neutral at the flap servo’s center. (ie. down travel only)
• SWITCH A-H fully assignable.
• POSITION fully assignable, including NULL (mix always on) and Up&Cntr and Cntr&Dn to activate the mix in 2
separate positions of the same SWITCH
. (This allows easy setup of one S
WITCH
position which is no FLAP-AILE
or AILE-FLAP mixing, one with both FLAP-AILE and AILE-FLAP mixing, and one with just FLAP-AILE mixing.)
