OFFSETS (GLID2FL-C only): additional flight conditions available specifically for sailplanes.
These additional flight conditions contain different offset trims to make the saiplane perform certain maneuvers more
easily. Aileron differential functions may be set to provide separate rates per condition selected.
The 9C super provides 3 offset trims to allow the modeler 3 additional setups along with the normal flight condition.
(OFFSET-1, OFFSET-2, and OFFSET-3) These offset trims have same setting abilities basically except the switch and dial
assignment. For an example of trim settings, please see the following:
OFFSET-1: is used to offset the aileron, elevator, and flap servos to the position that provides maximum lift during launch
(Start Offset). Normally the ailerons and flaps are drooped about 20-30%, withthe 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.
OFFSET-2: is used to offset the aileron, elevator, and flap servos for minimum drag in cruiseand high-speed flight
(Speed Offset). Normally the ailerons and flaps are raised about 3-5%.
Adjustability:
•Separate adjustments for each aileron, elevator, and flap servo.
(OFFSET-1, -2, and -3)
•S WITCH G(9CA) or E(9CH) is programmed for normal (NORM), OFFSET-1, and OFFSET-2

•Optional assignable knob (CAMBER) to allow trimming in flight of the aileron and flap
action of each flight condition.
*During OFFSET operation, the aileron and elevator travels are displayed on each trim
display in the Startup screen.
