GLID-2FLP SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (TWO AILERON & TWO FLAP SERVOS)
1. Before you begin, be sure that all of your aileron and flap servos are plugged into the proper
receiver channels. This example assumes that you are using model memory #3.
CH1 — Right aileron
CH2 — Elevator (or first half of v-tail)
CH3 — (not used)
CH4 — Rudder (or second half of v-tail)
CH5 — Right Flap
CH6 — Left Flap
CH7 — Left Aileron

2. Enter the BASIC SETUP mode by pressing
the two BASIC buttons simultaneously. Press
the UP or Down mode keys until you get to the
PARA menu. Press the left
button to
advance to TYPE setup, which should display
GLID2FLP. If it doesn’t, then press either of the
buttons until the words GLID 2FLP
are displayed. Press both the buttons
to activate the mode. “OK ?” will appear
flashing in the upper left of the display. Pressing
both the
buttons again will lock in the
selected mode. CAUTION: AS SOON AS
YOU SWITCH THE MODEL MODE, SOME
OR ALL OF THE DATA EXISTING IN THE
CURRENT MODEL MEMORY WILL BE
ERASED! (The other seven memories will not
be affected.)
3. Do not worry that the servos may not be
moving the proper direction now. We will first
activate all the special mixes necessary, and later
go to the reverse menu to correct any reversed
servo responses (if necessary).
Press the
buttons to get to the Advance
Menus. This is where are the sailplane-specific
mixers are located. Press either of the
keys
to get to the aileron differential (AI-DIF) settings
menu. Activate this mode by pressing the plus
(+)
key (the ‘ ’ symbol will be
flashing). This makes the second aileron servo
(CH7) operate. Ignore the number settings for
now.
4. Move to Aileron
→Flap menu (AIL-FL, p 61).
Activate it by pressing the Plus (+) key
(‘ ’ should be flashing). Use the Right (>)
key to get the left-hand number flashing,
then use the plus (+) key to set a value
of 50%. Move the aileron stick to get the other
number flashing, and set to the same number. You
can increase this setting later if you need more
maneuverability, such as for a slope racer or F3B
model.
Now you may choose whether you want this mix
always on or switchable. By hitting the Right (>)
key, you will see a display indicating
Switch E controls this function, and the setting of
the switch. NULL means always on, UP means
on when Switch E is up, and DOWN means on
when Switch E is down. We recommend
leaving it in the NULL position; you can change
the switch setting by pressing the (+) or (–)
keys.
5. If your model has a V-tail, go to the V-TAIL
menu (p. 41) and activate it. This will make the
elevator and rudder commands mix to the two tail
surfaces. Leave the settings as is for now.
6. Now move the aileron stick to the left. You
should see your model’s servos deflect as shown
in the rear view below. The Right aileron and
flap should move down, and the Left aileron and
flap should go up. If the wing servos move as
specified, you can continue.
