SAMPLE AIRPLANE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

The

following example shows how the PCM

1024Z may be programmed for a pattern airplane.

The settings presented here are for a typical

model. Your model's settings are likely to vary

from these, but the procedures given will still be

applicable.

1. Model Selection

Use the Model Select function MSL to select a

vacant model memory (or one you don't mind erasing)

and choose the AIRPLANE Setup using the Type

TYP

function from Model menu.

2. Name The New Model

Rename the model using the Model Name MNA

function in the model menu. Switch to the Condition

CND

and name the default flight condition

(we recommend NORM L). Later you may add other

flight conditions, which may also be named to make

them easier to identify.

3. Activate Special Mixing

Activate Flaperon

FPN

or Aileron Diferential

ADF

if you desire these functions (you may only

choose one; both require two aileron servos). FPN is

suggested since it can accommodate differential

through end point adjustments, and has Flap mixing.

The Flap mixing is used to have the ailerons behave as

flaps as well, which can be used to make tighter loops

and squarer corners in maneuvers. Use ALV to get

elevators that act as ailerons (two servos are required

for ALV function). You need not adjust the throws

and mixing ratios at this time.

4. Reset Control Order

If necessary, reset the Control Order using the

Function Control

FNC

in the model menu. Here you

may choose what sticks and sliders control the dif-

ferent functions. If you use the ALV function, move

the retract operation to another switch, perhaps CH7

orCH8.

5. Connect Servos

Plug Servos into Correct Channel Numbers

1. AIL Aileron (Ail 1 if FPN or ADF on)

2. ELE Elevator

3. THR Throttle

4. RUD Rudder

5. GEA Landing Gear (Elev 2 if ALV on)

6. FLP Flap (Ail 2 if FPN activated)

7. AU1

Spoiler (Ail 2 if ADF is used)

8. AU2 Collective Pitch

9. CH9

Channel 9

6. Set Neutral Points

Use the Subtrim function

STM

to move each

servo to its neutral position. If the amount of subtrim

is large, you should reset the subtrim to zero and move

the splined servo arm to a position that is as close to

the desired neutral as possible. Then use the subtrim

to get the neutral position "right on." Repeat with the

remaining channels.

7. Adjust Servo Throws

Check the proper direction of throw for each

servo. Use Reversing Function

REV

in the Model

menu to set proper throw directions for each servo.

Double check that each servo moves the proper direc-

tion.

8. Limit Servo Throws

Now use the ATV function to limit servo throws.

The travel of the ailerons should be limited to roughly

10—12° maximum in both directions with the ATV

function. Repeat for elevator. Adjust rudder lateral

motion to about ±45°. Be sure that no servo "bottoms

out" at maximum control throw. After setting maxi-

mum throws, ATV is rarely used. Instead use AFR in

the different flight modes.

9. Changing The Control Feel

If you would like to soften the control feel for

ailerons, use the AFR menu. Press the

NXT

key,

then the

EX1

key to get exponential curve. Set a

rate of -15% to -25%. EX2 is used for throttle only.

Change to Elevator using the Channel key. Use the

AFR to get slightly more up than down travel, and use

EX1 with a -10% setting.

Change to Rudder with the Channel key, and set

EX1

for-10%.

Airplane Section, Page 77

Airplane Section

10. Set Flaperon Throws

Now go back to the FPN (Flaperon) menu. Set

differential by limiting the down aileron throws on

both sides. The down throw should be set between

70% and 95% of the up throw. This setting depends on

the individual model and its particular flight character-

istics, so make changes after flight testing. Be sure

that the flap mixing settings are the same (default is

±100%).

Move to the E->F menu to set up how much the

ailerons move due to elevator. Approximately 10-

30% up and down mixing should be used (be sure that

up elevator causes the ailerons to drop, and down

elevator raises the ailerons up). The amount of aileron

droop at neutral elevator may be set with the A knob.

You may adjust this travel by adjusting the trim rate —

it can be set to zero to prevent accidental changes (be

sure this knob is zeroed before resetting subtrims).

Using the

SWT

button, you can also define a switch

to turn the elevator-flaperon mixing on and off.

11. Setting Up Airbrakes

To make landings easier, you may set a switch to

move both the elevators and flaps to a preset position

for an airbrake effect. Normally, the ailerons are raised

5—10° and the elevator is offset to cancel any trim

change.

Call the Airbrake

ABK

function from the con-

dition menu. Select the Manual mode by pressing the

MAN

key. Auto is available.

This system should normally be used in manual

mode. To select the operating switch, press the

SWT

key. The display shows that the default airbrake con-

trol switch is the C switch, ON in the lower position.

You may choose another switch or direction at this

time. Verify proper operation of the switch by activat-

ing it and watching the servos move.

Press the

PRE

key to get back to the preceding

key. If you have spoilers, they may be actuated also.

Read the section on ABK for more details.

12. Snap Roll Setup

You may have any switch activate the Snap Roll

function (the spring-loaded switch is strongly recom-

mended!). Call the Snap Roll function

SNP

form

the Condition menu. Activate it with the

ACT

key.

Set the deflection for each switch position: ailerons

±100-110%, elevator ±80-100%, rudder ±70-80%.

Be sure to choose the correct directions with the

For safety, you may also turn on the safety switch

using the O button. This safety inhibits the activation

of snap roll if the landing gear are down. Check to

make sure the switch is set for the correct direction.

13. Setting Up Differential Elevator

Your PCM 1024Z system has a unique function

called ALV for "Ailevators," or differential elevators.

This function provides roll control whenever the

propeller slipstream is acting on the tail, and is effec-

tive at low airspeeds.

Press the

ALV

key to enter the menu. Activate

with the

ACT

key, then adjust the rates given by the

A-3 and A-4 settings. We recommend starting out with

small deflections at first. Be sure that the settings for

ELE are 100% to get full elevator authority.

Flight Conditions Switching

If you like, you may set up the system to call up

more than one function or switch to a new set of trims

or control settings simultaneously by moving a single

switch. You can have different subtrims, coupling,

differential, exponentials, and throw volumes. In fact

you may change EVERY parameter between flight

modes.

We recommend that you fly the model and adjust

trims and control responses to your liking before

defining another flight condition. Any bad tendencies

may be corrected with custom programmable mix

settings

PMX

. Then, copy the set of adjustments to

a new flight condition, where they may be modified

for the new desired conditions. After copying you

may add new functions as necessary.

Use the Condition Select

CSL

button in the

Model Menu. This function allocates the necessary

number of flight conditions to the model memory.

Note the condition number next to the D (default) in

the display. This is the set of conditions that will be

copied into a new condition and modified. Also note

the number after the next display. You will copy to

this condition.

Use the Copy Condition

CPC

from the System

menu. This function copies the contents of one condi-

tion into another. Choose the default flight condition

number, press the SET button, then choose the second

condition number in the lower box "TO CONDI-

TION." Give the command to copy.

15.

Volume Setting

Some functions can have their mixing ratio vary

with the motion of another slider or knob: use the

VOL key O to get to this choice (for example, see

ADF). Move the selected control to determine how it

affects the mix. You can also add a time delay on

many of the menus: look for a DELAY setting.

16. Programmable Mixers

Up to five mixers are available in all flight condi-

tions. These may be used to enhance flight capabilities

or to correct bad tendencies by adjusting mixing from

one control to another. For example, you may use

Elevator->Flap coupling to tighten up the corners on

square loops, Throttle->Rudder coupling to correct

for torque tendencies, etc. There is no limit to the

number of corrections that can be made.

Your PCM 1024Z system is filled with powerful,

predefined mixing functions. Be sure to browse through

the various function menus in the Aircraft section follow-

ing this example.

The switch that calls the flight conditions should

be selected. Return to the Condition Select

CSL

function, press the desired flight condition number,

and use the SWT button to choose the desired switch

location. Once you have selected a condition, use the

CNA (Condition NAme) button to label the new con-

dition (you may have to flip the chosen switch to the

correct position to get the desired condition). Now,

you may go through the Condition menu items to get

the desired settings in the new mode. Read the condi-

tion name after the model name to be sure you are

changing the condition you want.

with aileron operation automatically, to make

realistic, coordinated turns. It is especially effec-

tive when turning and banking scale models or

large models that resemble full-sized aircraft. This

mixing

keeps

the

fuselage aligned

into

the

ELEVATOR- FLAP (E-F)

This mixing is used to droop the flaps whenever

an up elevator command is given (and may be set

up for down elevator as well, helpful during

'outside' maneuvers). It helps to eliminate 'buck-

COLLECTIVE PITCH FUNCTION (CPT)

(DIVING

AIR

BRAKE,

HIGH

PITCH

TRIM)

Airplane Section

This function allows diving airbrake ("minus

pitch") adjustment at low throttle and high pitch

adjustment at high throttle for consistent model

speed during vertical aerobatics. This mixing can

be turned on and off during flight with a switch.

Air brake, engine idle-up trim, and the high-side

pitch control trim can be set independently.

The

mixing switching point (minus pitch/high pitch

switching point) can be set at a selected throttle

stick position, and each trim rate can be adjusted.

The throttle delay when switching from minus

pitch to high pitch and the pitch delay when

switching from high pitch to minus pitch can also

be adjusted independently.

FLAPERONS

(FPN)

This function allows you to program the

ailerons to work in the same direction, giving a

flap response as well as aileron control (see figure).

For good square maneuvers, and landing, both

ailerons can be raised and lowered simultaneously.

While this function is on, regular aileron operation

is always present.

The Flaperon function requires two separate

channels: Receiver CH1 (aileron 1/flap 2) and CH6

(aileron 2/flap 1) are the operating channels. The

Aileron 1 and Aileron 2 left and right deflection

angles can be adjusted independently, making it

easy to apply differential to the ailerons. With

differential, the up side travel is set to around 5%

larger than the down travel.

You may also adjust the

spoilers for landing precision or for constant speed

during vertical flight maneuvers. Airbrake presets

can be turned on and off during flight by ON/OFF

switch, or you may define an AUTO mode where

mixing is turned on and off automatically by

throttle stick position.

The AUTO mode, if used, may be turned on

and off with a switch. However, a command on

the

copter model, although for completeness we have

added other functions (these will be marked by a

"t" sign). The settings presented here are for a

typical model. Your model's settings are likely to

vary

from

these,

but

the

procedures

given

will

still

be applicable.

1 Memory Selection

Use the Model Select function

MSL

to select a

model memory.

Choose the Helicopter Setup using the Type

TYP

function from Model menu.

2 Model Naming

Name the model using the Model Name

MNA

func-

tion in the model menu. Note that the default flight

condition is named "NORML" (the condition name

is located next to the model name). The system

automatically adds and names three other flight

conditions, which you will program later in this

example.

3t Set Control Order

If desired, reset the Control Order using the Func-

tion Control

FNC

in the model menu. Here you

may choose what sticks, sliders, and trims control

the different functions.

4 Hook Up Controls

Hookup the aileron, elevator, throttle, and rudder

servos in accordance with the model's instructions

or plans.

We recommend that you fly the model and adjust

trims and control responses to your liking before

defining another flight condition. Then, as described

below, you will copy the set of adjustments to a new

flight condition (this will maintain all trim settings

between the different conditions), and define the

condition switches that activate them. Each may be

modified for the new desired conditions, and you

may add new functions as necessary.

9 Throttle Curve Setting

Call the Throttle Curve

THA

function from the

Model Menu. Check to see that it is activated ACT .

Next, move to the condition menu and press

TCV

to get the setting menu. Set the throttle curve

to the values shown in the table below:

The throttle responds slowly at first and then the

response rate increases at the top end.

Pitch Curve Setting

Call the pitch curve PIT function from the

model menu. Verify that the PIT curve function is

activated (

ACT ).

The following settings assume a semi-symmetrical

rotor blade with no twist. For the pitch curve, the

initial LOW rate is 100% and the HIGH rate is 100%.

Set the maximum pitch angle in advance. The pitch

angle is -4° to +12°.

When setting the pitch angle, set the hovering

pitch lever and the HIGH side pitch lever to the

center positions. These levers may be activated in

flight to make adjustments. Next, input the data so

that the normal pitch used in hovering becomes

-2.5° to+10° by LOW/HIGH side rate setting.

Although unimportant in calm conditions, the

pitch angle should be set to that the High side pitch

rate is large. This provides high collective sensitivity

to help cope with windy conditions.

Pitch Curve Setting.

Move to the Condition menu, and select the pitch

curve PCV key. Set the pitch curve to the follow-

ing values:

Point

curve as the normal condition, but the maximum

HIGH side pitch angle should be 8° to 10°, depend-

ing on the engine used. Set the pitch angle by curve

or rate.

Idle-Up 2 Setting

Call up the Idle-up 2 conditions by setting SW-E

to the 1 (forward) position. Be sure that the switch

is defined using CSL as in the previous case. Now,

you may go through the menu items to revise the

desired settings in the new mode (be sure that the

condition name after the model name refers to Idle-

settings may be easily matched. Set the LOW side

pitch curve to the following values:

Adjust the pitch curve low side to -4°

Throttle Hold Setting

Now the Throttle Hold conditions are set for use

in autorotation. Call up the Throttle Hold condi-

tions by setting SW-G to the 1 (forward) position.

Now you will set the Throttle Hold ON/OFF switch

so that SW (G) is turned on in the 1 (forward)

In throttle hold, set the throttle to move the servo to

engine idle (approximately 15%).

Pitch Curve Setting:

Select the pitch curve PVC

key. The Normal curve copied already appears on

the screen. During autorotation. maximum pitch is

used at both the HIGH and LOW sides. Therefore,

normally set the HIGH and LOW rates to 100% each.

The curve must be set so that the rise matches the

rotor near points 2 to 6. The rotor blade pitch angle

is-4° to+12°.

uses

the

tail

rotor

to suppress the torque reaction of the main rotor

due to changes in collective pitch. The shape of the

mixing curve may be set independently for each

flight condition.

Helicopter Section, Page 101

Helicopter Section

To set this feature, call the Pitch->R udder P->R

from the Condition Menu. The Normal setting is

used during hover, so it should be set to match take-

off, landing, and constant speed vertical climbing.

Normal Setting:

Select the normal flight conditions by turning off

all the flight condition switches. Set the rudder mix-

ing curve to the following values (initial settings):

17 Rudder->Throttle Mix Setting

Rudder->Throttle

R->T

mixing is effective in

hovering eight, nose in circle, top hat, pirouette, and

other aerobatics. It should be set so that at half-

throttle, if the rudder stick is operated, the rotor

speed is maintained to keep altitude constant.

Idle-up 1 Setting:

These settings are used in 540° stall turns, loop-

ing, and rolling stall turns and is set to be straight

ahead when the model is pointing directly into or

away from the wind. Call the Idle-up 1 flight condi-

tions by moving switch E to the 0 (center) position.

Set the rudder mixing curve to the following values:

When these values are input, the rudder is offset

at the half-throttle position.

Idle-up 2 Setting:

These settings are used in rolls. Activate the Idle-

up 2 flight conditions by moving switch E to the 1

(forward) position. Set the rudder mixing curve to

the following values:

The rudder is offset at the half-throttle position.

Throttle Hold Setting:

Throttle Hold settings are intended to keep the

model pointed straight ahead during linear autorota-

tion. The tail rotor pitch angle is nearly 0°. Set the

Throttle Hold flight conditions by moving switch G

to the 1 (forward) position. Set the rudder mixing

curve to the following values:

For normal models, commanding right rudder

should increase throttle slightly, while using left

rudder should decrease throttle slightly.

To set this feature, return to the Normal flight

condition.

Press

the Rudder->Throttle

R->T

from

the Condition Menu. Press the

ACT

button to acti-

vate it, and set the Left value to -10%, and the

Right value to +10%.

18 Trim Offset Setting

The Trim Offset

TOF

setting should be adjust-

ed for Idle-up 1 and Idle-up 2. Aileron, elevator, and

rudder are offset so that the model flies straight

ahead during normal flight.

Call the Idle-up 1 or 2 flight condition by setting

Switch E to the 0 (center) position. Press the TOF

button from the Condition menu. Recommended

settings for aileron and elevator offsets are 6% to

10%. A delay can be set with the digital trim

TRM

function.

Rudder offset is set by the Pitch->Rudder func-

tion set previously, so is not set here.

Delay Settings

Set the amount of delay for each flight condi-

tion. We recommend the following settings:

Normal .......

20%

Idle-up

.......

20%

Idle-up

2. ......20%

Throttle Hold .. .. 60%

The delay for Throttle hold should be large, be-

cause the rudder angle changes significantly during

flight condition changes.

Gyro Sensitivity Switching

Gyro Sensitivity switching may be set for each

flight condition. To set sensitivity, call the Gyro

Sensitivity Function

GYR

from the condition

menu.

Assuming that the sensitivity of the gyro is set so

that the 1 side was made low sensitivity, and the 2

side was defined as high sensitivity, set the type at

each flight condition as follows:

Normal

.......

Type 2

Idle-up

.......

Type

Idle-up 2

.......

Type 1

Autorotation .... Type 1 (if the tail rotor is

driven during auto-

rotation, high gyro

sensitivity (type 2)

may be more effec-

tive.)

20 Engine Cut Setting

At the conclusion of a flight, you may use the

Engine Cut function to kill your engine by one

touch with a special switch. Because it is performed

by stick lever, there is no need to fumble for the

trim position, and the idle trim position need never

be lost.

Press the Engine Cut

CUT

button from the

model menu, activate it, and set the desired switch.

Set the throttle a bit above the lowest throttle posi-

tion, then press the

SET

button to memorize the

position. This makes it so the engine cut function

will only operate when the throttle is at the idle

position, so the engine can't inadvertently be shut

off.

Adjust the throttle servo motion so that there is

no binding or excess travel.

21 Condition Hold Setting

If you want to set condition data while the

engine is running, always use the Condition Hold

function

CHD

to limit the throttle operation range.

Press the CHD button on the Model menu. Set the

maximum throttle position to be a bit above the idle

position, and press the

SET

key. This should

produce a maximum throttle setting of about 13%.

Be sure not to set the maximum too high.

You may activate the Condition Hold menu from

the Home menu (use the G key), from the Model

menu (2nd line, G key), or from the Condition

menu (use the

key). When Condition Hold is

activated, a double beep repeats every few seconds

to remind you that it is engaged, so that you do not

attempt to fly with it on. This setting allows you to

control the throttle between 0% and 13% with the

throttle stick when the function is activated.

This concludes the setup procedure example. Be

sure to browse through the pages following this

example to see what other menus are available for

helicopters, such as

HOF . GYR , ACC ,

and

INV

. Many may be used to enhance flight capa-

bilities or to correct bad tendencies. All of these

menus may have different settings in different flight

modes. For this reason, we recommend you set them

up and use them in the Normal flight condition and

trim the model before setting up the alternate flight

modes.

in flight, you can set up this feature in the volume setting

screen. Press the O key to get into this screen, and

choose the control you'd like to use for this feature. For

a description of the volume setting method, see page 37).

The right slider is set as the high side trim volume when

Pitch Curve is activated.

Note: when Point 7 of the pitch curve is changed

after setting the HIGH/LOW side rates, the other points

change also. This is because Point 7 is used as the rate

setting reference point.

PiTCH-RuDDER (P-R)

This mixing, also called Revolution Mix. mixes

pitch commands into rudder in order to suppress

the torque generated by changes in the main

rotor's pitch angle. A five-point curve can be used

to control the shape of the mixing curve for each

flight condition. The up-side and down-side mixing

rates can be set, using Point 0 as the reference. A

trim volume can be input for each direction, and a

time delay to transition smoothly between flight

conditions may also be set.

on the next page.

In this manual, speed flaps are controls that can move together

(as flaps) or differentially (as ailerons), and are commonly found on

most high-performance models. Brake flaps move together only, and

are used for landing. Brake flaps are sometimes found on scale

models. Butterfly is a high drag configuration used for landings,

referred

elsewhere.

If you plan to use the PCM 1024Z system primarily for sailplanes

and would like to have a three position switch on the left-hand side,

we recommend you purchase a Mode I airplane radio (and convert

to Mode II) or a Mode II helicopter radio.

For conditions that apply to all models (ATV, AFR, D/R, PMX,

STM, TOF, CNA, and TRM functions), refer to the Common Con-

ditions section. For instructions on Helicopters and Airplanes, refer

This manual refers to ailerons, speed flaps, and

brake flaps. Here are the definitions of each:

Ailerons are control surfaces located nearest the

tips of the sailplane's wings. Speed flaps are con-

trols that can move together (as flaps) or differen-

tially (as ailerons), and are commonly found on

most high-performance models. Brake flaps move

together only, and are used for landing. Brake

flaps are sometimes found on scale models. Addi-

AlLERON DIFFERENTIAL (ADF)

This applies to all three sailplane types,

5-S,

4-S, and 2-S. The aileron differential function is

used to provide more deflection for the up aileron

than for the down aileron. Depending on the

model design, anywhere from 5 to 30% more up

deflection is used. The up and down travel of each

servo may be set separately. If desired, the amount

of down aileron deflection may be trimmed in

flight with a knob or trimmer.

simul-

taneously raises the left and right ailerons and

lowers the speed flaps (brake flaps for 5-S).

The total travel can be adjusted by CH6 vol-

ume. The butterfly neutral position can be offset

from the center position. Butterfly mixing can be

turned on and off during flight by setting a switch.

If a switch is not set, mixing remains on all the

time.

5-S BUTTERFLY OPERATION

4-S BUTTERFLY OPERATION

Setting Up Butterfly Mixing

Butterfly is often controlled with the throttle stick,

but at initiation the control is assigned to the left knob

VR(A). The FNC command in the Model menu may be

used to change the assignment. In that menu, select SF2

with the J key, then press CTR. Select the throttle stick

by choosing J3 with the K key (null the CTR for airbrake

ABK

if you want). At this time, be sure that both

ailerons and speed flaps (or brake flaps for 5-S) move the

proper directions. The default speed flap control is the

left slider. If you use speed flap-aileron mixing, this will

become the camber control.

Activation of command

In the Condition Menu, press the

BFY

key to get the

BUTTERFLY menu, as shown in the figure.

Mode Setting

Press the

key to activate mixing, then press the

ACT

INH

key ( F or G ) to activate or inhibit the

butterfly function. When you activate, you will notice

two things: first, all four wing servos move, unless the

throttle stick happens to be at center. Second, the Alarm

light begins flashing. The alarm light is on whenever BFY

is active. This is OK, except the transmitter will beep if it

is on when first powered up. This is annoying, because

you can't stop it!

In just a moment, you will set the offset position for

the butterfly stick. The alarm light and beeping at startup

may be taken care of two ways: either an activation

switch may be defined, or the on position may be set

slightly away from the zero-butterfly position. In the

latter case, the function is off until the stick is moved

slightly.

TRIM Mix 1 (TM1) & TRIM Mix 2 (TM2) - 4-S

TRIM PRESETS CALLED

BY A

SWITCH

Sailplane Section

The Trim Mix 1 & 2 function are used to pro-

gram a preset position of the ailerons, elevator,

and speed flaps with the use of a switch. They can

be used to program setting for different flight con-

ditions. For example. Trim mix 1 could be set up

for launching, with speed flaps and ailerons droop-

ed, and a slight amount of up elevator. Trim mix 2

might be used for high speed flying, with both

ailerons and speed flaps reflexed slightly, and a bit

down elevator.

The Trim Mix functions can be activated during

flight by setting a switch (trim mix 2 has priority).

To prevent sudden trim changes when switching

flight conditions, a delay can be set to provide a

smooth transition between the two. This might be

used during launch, so the flaps don't suddenly

come

back

neutral

position

and

dump

the

lift

all at once.

The presets as a group can be adjusted by

moving a volume control. When this is done, each

servo is adjusted at the same rate.

to be the launch mode (use TM1), middle position is

normal, and the upper position is used for the speed

settings (use TM2).

If you use the three position switch, you will want to

activate Trim mix on the middle position also. This will

give the delay in switching both to and From the trim

mix.

FLAP-ELEVATOR Mix

(F-E)—2-S

This function is used to compensate for trim

changes when flaps are deployed for slow flight or

landing by mixing in a small movement of elevator.

The elevator should be adjusted to move only a

small deflection amount: too much elevator can

make the model difficult to control.

The amount of correction can be adjusted

separately for both positive and negative flap in-

puts, and the neutral mixing position can be offset

from the flap neutral position. Flap-to-elevator

mixing can be turned on and off during flight by

setting a switch, but if an ON/OFF switch is not

set, it remains on all the time. The amount of mix-

ing can be changed by setting a volume control.

FLAPERON MIXING

(FPN)—2-S

This function allows you to program the

ailerons to work in the same direction, giving a

flap response as well as aileron control (see figure).

For good square maneuvers, and landing, both

ailerons can be raised and lowered simultaneously.

While this function is on, regular aileron operation

is always present.

The Flaperon function requires two separate

channels: Receiver CH1 (aileron 1/flap 2) and CH5

(aileron 2/flap 1) are the operating channels. The

Aileron 1 and Aileron 2 left and right deflection

angles can be adjusted independently making it

easy to apply differential to the ailerons. With

differential, the up side travel is set to around 5%

larger than the down travel.

You may also adjust the Flap 1 and Flap 2

throws independently, and you can set the flap

trim

rate

large

small

you

like. Also,

the

flap trim offset can be adjusted, allowing you to
