AIRBRAKE (ABK)
Airbrake presets are used to set up preset
deflections of the elevators, flaps, and (optionally)
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 air brake has priority and is followed regardless
of the position of the AUTO mode ON/OFF
switch.
Suggested settings for the Airbrake function are
a flap deflection of +50%. The elevators will need
to be set to about -20 to 23%. Of course, the
elevators should be adjusted so that the model
maintains level flight when the Airbrake function
is operated.

manual mode by pressing the MAN ( G) key. Select the
auto mode by pressing the AUT H key.
Throttle Position Setting (Auto Mode Only)
For the Auto mode, you need to input the position at
which the function will take effect. Press the B key, then
move the throttle stick to the desired position, and press
the SET ( F ) key to memorize the position.
Flap Preset Position Setting
To set the position that the flaps will move to, press
the C key and use the rate setting keys E to M . This
setting may vary from -100 to 100%, and is initially set
to 50%.
Elevator Preset Position Setting
To set the position that the elevators will move to,
press the D key and use the rate setting keys E to M .
This setting may vary from -100 to 100%, and is initially
set to -30% by the system.
Flap Trim Authority Setting
Flap Trim moves both ailerons upwards or downwards
together. To input the Flap Trim Authority, press the
NXT R key. Then set the rate with the numeric keys
E to M. You may choose any value from 0% to 100%
for the Flap Trim Authority. The initial setting is 30%,
but a smaller number is recommended. If you input a
number here, it will override whatever value was input in
the Flaperon menu.
