CONTROL SURFACE DEFLECTIONS
The control surface deflections in the table below provide the Alula-TREK with active response to control inputs.
You can set separate Low and High rates using the "Dual Rate" menu and toggle switches on your
programmable transmitter. Before proceeding, make sure all End Points and/or Adjustable Throw Volumes (ATV)
are set to the default of 100%.
IMPORTANT
:
Elevon deflections can be adjusted to suit one's own flying style,
but make sure to pay particular attention to your elevator deflections (a little goes a long way for a flying
wing!). Too much elevator deflection will result in inefficient over-controlling, stalling, and poor flight behavior.
►
HOT TIP: As shown below, apply a piece of painter's tape to the tail, just behind elevon control surface for setting
deflections. Mark desired deflections on tape and adjust transmitter Dual Rates until proper deflections are achieved.
* Provides the approximate Dual Rate (D/R) settings in percent. These settings will get you
close to the listed deflections, but make sure to confirm through physical measurement.
