Futaba 9CPS - Manual (Page 73)

Launch (Start) Offset (START OFS) (GLID1FLAP/GLID2FLAP only): The Start function is used to offset the aileron,
elevator, and flap servos to the position that provides maximum lift during launch. Normally the ailerons and flaps
are drooped about 20-30, with the flaps drooped slightly more to prevent tip-stalling on tow. The elevator can also
be offset in order to trim out any pitch changes caused by the flap and aileron presets.
*During Launch Offset operation, the aileron and elevator travels are displayed on each trim display in the Startup
screen.
Adjustability:
Switch: This function is activated by flipping S WITCH G (9CA) to the back position.
Mix switch is selectable (3-position type switch only) in
the OFSET-SW item. (SW/MODE)
Separate adjustments for each aileron and flap servo (two flap settings for GLID2FLAP) and for elevator.
RANGE for each adjustment is -100 to +100.
Optional assignable dial (VR) to adjust all 4 wing servos in unison, 1% at a time, across all 4 servos in flight.
