•MUTUAL (BI-DIRECTIONAL)
MIXING (FLPRON, ELEVN, V-TAIL, DIFF)
Aileron + flap (FLPRON), aileron + elevator (ELEVN), rudder + elevator (V.TAIL), and aileron differential
(DIF) mixing can be selected with a switch.
FLPRON (AILERON + FLAP)
•This function allows the use of flaps on aircraft
with full length "strip" ailerons.
• Use a separate servo on each aileron and connect
as shown in Fig. 61 . NOTE: Always connect the
servo on the Right Aileron to CH1 (Aileron).
The Left servo to CH6 (Flap).
• Set Switches 16 and 17 as shown in Fig. 72.
• Aileron differential can be varied to suit using
Trimmer 15 . Trimmer 15 will vary the amount
of DOWN travel available on each aileron. UP
movement is not affected.
•The Flap function can be operated by using the
Flap Knob 6 or better by using Switch 10 to
activate the Flaps and Elevator trim if necessary
(See Flap -> Elevator Down mixing Page 30).
• Elevator -> Flap mixing is possible by setting
trimmer panel Switch 10 to ACT and Control
Switch 12 to
ON. (See Elevator -> Flap mixing
Page 30)
• Pitch trim in vertical maneuvers and point manu-
vers can be adjusted easily by using the Flap
Knob 6 .
• NOTE: When the ailerons are operated while in
the Flap DOWN mode, an additional downward
movement of the Aileron occurs. Wing tip stall
can occur easily if the Aileron is down too far.
To prevent this, it may be necessary to use the
aileron differential (Trimmer 15) to reduce the
downward travel.
* Always connect the servo at the right wing to
receiver channel 1 (aileron).
