SAIL Mixing

For each of these mixes, you can program each ﬂ ight mode with

different mix values or at 0% if no mix is desired for that speciﬁ c

ﬂ ight mode. Programming values include independent control of

the direction and amount a slave surface moves in relationship

to the master surface.

Aileron to Rudder

The Aileron to Rudder mix is a commonly used for coordinated

turns. When active, as aileron is applied the rudder moves in

the same direction as the turn (right aileron input results in

right rudder output). If you assign the ﬂ ight mode to a switch, a

Sub Switch option allows you to assign an additional switch to

activate up to 3 Aileron to Rudder mixes for that ﬂ ight mode.

Aileron to Flap

The Aileron to Flap mix allows the entire trailing edge of the wing

(aileron and ﬂ ap) to operate as ailerons. When the mix is active,

the ﬂ aps move with the ailerons.

Elevator to Flap

Elevator to Flap mix creates additional lift, allowing a tighter turn.

The entire trailing edge of the wing (aileron and ﬂ ap) operate

as ﬂ aps (camber increase) when you apply elevator. An offset is

provided which is typically used for Snap Flaps. With Snap Flap,

no Elevator to Flap mix occurs until the offset value is reached.

Typically this offset is at 70% up elevator so that beyond 70%

the down ﬂ ap mix comes in, providing additional lift for more

aggressive turning (for tight thermals or racing turns).

Flap to Elevator

Flap to Elevator mix prevents pitch up tendency that occurs

when you apply Crow or Butterﬂ y. This mix is typically used only

with the Camber System. The Flap to Elevator mix operates as

a curve, so that the elevator moves down the most during the

ﬁ rst 20% of ﬂ ap deployment, decreases over the next 40% then

remains the same from 60 to 100% of ﬂ ap travel.

For sailplanes with ailerons/tips/ﬂ aps, make sure an appropriate

Sailplane Type is selected so that tips appear in the transmitter

as RAIL and LAIL. Decrease or increase travel on the tip ailerons

by creating an AIL > RAIL mix.

Receiver Installation

For optimum RF link performance, mount the main receiver

and remote antennas in an orientation that allows for the best

possible signal reception when the aircraft is in all possible at-

titudes and positions. Where supplied with the transmitter, install

the primary receiver in your model. Put the primary receiver

in protective foam and install the receiver in the model using

rubber bands or hook-and-loop straps. Use thick double-sided

foam tape to install the primary receiver in electric airplanes or

helicopters.

Mount each remote receiver at least 2 inches (51mm) away

from the primary receiver, primary antenna and each other using

double-sided foam tape. Orient the antennas perpendicular

to each other; typically one vertical and one horizontal (see

manufacturer’s receiver installation instructions). This gives

tremendous improvements in path diversity as each receiver can

“see” a different RF environment. This is key to maintaining a

solid RF link, especially in aircraft that have substantial conduc-

tive materials (e.g., larger gas engines, carbon ﬁ ber, pipes, etc.),

which can weaken or block the signal.

In airplanes, we recommend mounting the primary receiver

in the center of the fuselage on the servo tray and the remote

receivers on the side of the fuselage or in the turtle deck (space

behind the canopy and in front of the vertical stabilizer).

In helicopters, install receivers in the radio tray, where there is

usually sufﬁ cient room for receiver separation. Where there is

not sufﬁ cient room, install a receiver on an external receiver

mount made of clear plastic.
