Mystique
2.9M
Radio
Setup:
The
control
settings
in
the
manual
are
very
good
for
sport
gliding
and
are
a
good
place
to
start.
Depending
on
your
radio,
you
can
set
up
a
glider
in
many
ways.
If
you
are
an
advanced
glider
pilot,
you
know
how
to
program
your
glider
already
and
you
can
skip
this
section.
However,
if
you
are
like
me
and
just
to
enjoy
sport
gliding
in
a
simple
format,
then
follow
this
section
and
program
your
glider
using
AIRPLANE
mode.
These
settings
will
give
you
normal
throttle
operation,
a
thermal
mode
for
lift,
a
landing
mode
with
flaps,
and
a
cruise
setting.
You
can
ignore
the
speed
setting
which
involves
reflexing
the
wing
(negative
flap
and
aileron)
because
I
did
not
find
it
to
be
a
noticeable
difference
from
the
cruise
setting
during
my
flight
testing.
Start
by
making
sure
your
flap
system
is
enabled
in
your
setup
menu
on
the
transmitter.
Each
wing
servo
must
be
on
a
different
channel,
and
this
is
why
you
need
minimum
of
a
seven
channel
receiver
and
transmitter
for
this
setup.
If
you
only
have
a
six
channel
radio
or
less,
and
really
want
to
take
advantage
of
the
wonderful
flight
characteristics
of
the
Mystique,
then
it
is
time
to
upgrade
your
radio.
You
will
be
glad
you
did.
Follow
the
deflections
given
in
the
manual,
and
you
won't
need
to
set
any
wing
differential.
E
‐
flite
did
this
by
reducing
the
down
travel
on
each
aileron
to
a
max
of
12mm,
and
the
up
aileron
max
deflection
to
20mm
(measure
from
the
inboard
edge
of
the
aileron).
Check
your
aileron
throws
and
set
your
servo
travel
in
the
transmitter
to
get
these
settings.
Also,
make
sure
the
full
flap
deflection
gives
you
20
mm
down
as
measured
from
the
inboard
edge
of
the
flap.
The
rudder
and
elevator
deflections
should
also
be
set
per
the
manual.
The
mixes
and
dual
rates
for
easy
sport
flying
are

(CG):
This
last
step
is
important
so
don't
skip
it
or
you
may
crash
on
your
first
flight!!
The
manual
shows
the
CG
at
120
mm
aft
of
the
TE.
I
guess
this
is
fine
for
advanced
glider
guys,
but
I
tried
flying
the
Mystique
with
this
CG
location
and
barely
got
it
back
on
the
ground
in
one
piece.
I
recommend
a
CG
of
100
‐
110
mm
for
sport
gliding.
