MENU FUNCTIONS:
Aircraft wing types
(
ACRO
GLID
):
There are 3 basic wing types in aircraft models:
• Simple. Model uses one aileron servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness into a single receiver channel) and has a tail.
This is the default setup and requires no specialized wing programming.
• Twin Aileron Servos. Model uses 2 aileron servos and has a tail. see Twin Aileron Servos.
• Tail-less model (flying wing). Model uses 2 wing servos working together to create both roll and pitch control. see
ELEVON
.
Twin Aileron Servos (with a tail)

• Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel.
• Redundancy, for example in case of a servo failure or mid-air collision.
• Ease of assembly and more torque per surface by not requiring torque rods for a single servo to drive 2 surfaces.

Options:
• 5-channel receiver. Set up

FLAPERON
or
AIL-DIFF
.

FLAPERON
:
•Uses CH6 for the second servo (see

• Aileron Differential (
AIL-DIFF
):
•Uses CH7 for the 2nd servo (see

You will need to choose which of

is the better choice for your model's setup. If you need the ailerons
