Aileron-to-flap mixing is used to

improve the roll rate and to reduce the
wing’s induced drag during rolls and
banking maneuvers by operating the flaps
differentially as ailerons. The function
may be turned on and off by switch "G",
or it may be always on.

For normal flying, a value of about

50% is often used. But for slope racing
or F3B models in speed runs, you may
wish to use a larger value approaching
100%.
