GLIDER ADVANCE MENU
Varied wing types and tail types (twin aileron servos, twin elevator servos, elevon, v-tail, etc). See p. 51-58 for basic
information.
•
FLAPERON
(
GLID 1A+1F
only): 2 aileron servos operate in opposite directions as ailerons and same direction as fl aps. See
p. 45.
•
CAMBER FLAP
: provides camber movement or trimming of fl aps. See p. 53.
• For sailplanes, this function is also used as wing camber. The amount depends on the model, but usually a small
amount (less than 10%) is preferred, since too much camber produces excess drag. Don’t use more than about
1/16” travel up or down for glider camber. Some airfoils, such as the RG-15, should be fl own with NO refl ex/
camber. Be sure to consult your model’s manual for guidelines.
• Note that even though you may make
CAMBER FLAP
active while using
AILE-DIFF
, it will not have any effect. The
ONLY function that allows control of the ailerons as fl aps in the
AILE-DIFF
confi guration is airbrake/butterfl y.)
• Aileron Differential (
AILE-DIFF
): allows twin aileron servos to provide differential down travel from up travel. See p.
54.
• Using a 5-channel receiver with
FLAPERON
and
AILE-DIFF
. See
AIL-2
, p. 55.
•
ELEVON
: for fl ying wings. See p. 56.
•
V-TAIL
: for models with 2 servos operating together to create roll and pitch control. See p. 58.
•
AILEVATOR
: not available in
GLID
model types.
Mixes:
• Linear Programmable mixes (
PROG.MIX1-4
): fully assignable programmable mixes with a linear response. see p. 68.
• Curved Programmable mixes (
PROG.MIX5-8
): fully assignable programmable mixes with a curved response. See p.
71.
•
ELEV-FLAP
: pre-programmed mix creates elevator movement from the inboard fl aps as well as elevators. See p. 62.
•
BUTTERFLY
: Often called crow,
BUTTERFLY
is the glider version of
AIRBRAKE
. (
BUTTERFLY
does not have the option to
activate it solely from a switch, and its activation switch. It always provides progressively more
BUTTERFLY
as the
CHANNEL 3 (THROTTLE) STICK is lowered, or raised if used
THR-REV
, p.38.) See
AIRBRAKE
, p. 63.
Full Span Mixing: Flap-to-Aileron and
Aileron-to-Flap
•
CAMBER-MIX
/
AILE-FLAP
: This pre-programmed mix is used to create full span fl ap/aileron action on a glider with 4
wing servos. This changes the camber over the entire wing, which produces less drag than just dropping the fl aps by
themselves.
NOTE: When you have
ELEV-FLAP
mixing also, the trailing edge droops with the elevators, increasing pitch response.
