• Launch (Start) Offset (START OFS): 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.
Adjustability:
• This function is only activated by flipping SWITCH
G to the back position. If you wish to have this three-
position switch above the left-hand stick (position E), you should purchase a 9CH transmitter.
• Separate adjustments for each aileron and flap servo (two flap settings for GLID2FLP) 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.
