CONTROL SURFACE DEFLECTIONS
The control surface deflections in the table below provide the Weasel-TREK with active response to control
inputs. You can program separate Low and High rates using the "Dual Rate" menu and toggle switches on your
programmable transmitter. In our opinion, the "High Rate" provides a very fun and aerobatic feel, while the
"Low Rate" is good for those pilots just getting the feel for the model and slope soaring. 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. Use of
Exponential (EXPO) is a matter of personal
preference. The use of Exponential will
soften the feel of the controls for small
stick movements. This makes the model feel
less "twitchy" and it will react smoother to
small control inputs. Some pilots prefer no
EXPO, making the control response linear
and more active around center.
IMPORTANT: The use of negative EXPO in
the chart above is based on the use of a
Futaba transmitter (i.e. -35% Expo). For
other transmitter brands, you may find that
a positive EXPO value provides the desired
result (i.e. less sensitivity to small stick
inputs).
