Throttle stick

• (B) Throttle -> pitch control mixing

The pitch control servo mixing point can be set
to an arbitrary point between throttle lever 3
maximum slow and medium slow. When the
throttle lever is moved from SLOW to HIGH, the
mixing function is turned on. When the throttle
lever is moved from HIGH to SLOW, the mixing
function is turned off.

The start point can be set to the point at which

maximum engine torque and propeller air brak-
ing affect is displayed. (Normally, set it to with-
in a range of one or two stops from the slowest
position.)

• M Rudder auto dual rate

Rudder dual rate can be automatically turned on

and off from any point between the throttle

lever 3 maximum slow and medium slow posi-

tions. (When M switch is in the ON position.)
When the throttle lever is moved from SLOW to

HIGH, rudder dual rate is turned ON. When the

throttle lever is moved from HIGH to SLOW,
rudder dual rate is turned off. Rudder dual rate
trimmer 21 set the deflection angle when rudder
dual rate is on.

• (N) Air brake

Air brake (flap, spoiler -> elevator, throttle ->
flap, spoiler -> elevator) mixing can be set to any
point between the throttle lever 3 maximum

slow and medium slow positions. When the
throttle lever is moved from SLOW to HIGH,

mixing is turned off. When the throttle lever is
moved from HIGH to SLOW, mixing is turned

on.

Throttle -> pitch control

mixing

This is the start position setting
trimmer when M rudder auto dual
and N air brake are used.

•AIRCRAFT WITH FLAPS

Connect the flap servo to channel 6 of the receiver.

• Flaps are normally controlled by the CH6 Knob

6 on the transmitter front. Wide or narrow

(Flap Trim) travel may be selected by Flap

Switch 18 on the trimmer panel.

' Wide throw is often best for normal landing flaps

and airbrake operations.

Narrow (Trim) throw allows Flaps or Flprons
(see page 31 ) to be used for pitch trim adjust-
ments in knife edge and vertical maneuvers.
Narrow throw may also may also be best for
Elevator -> Flap (2 -> 6) mixing.
