SAILPLANE SECTION
This section contains information on the commands that apply to
sailplanes only. Each of these functions can be set independently for
different flight conditions. The sailplane model types are grouped
into 2-S type, 4-S type, and 5-S type by number of servos in the
wing. The Condition menus for these three sailplane types are shown
on the next page.
In this manual, speed flaps are controls that can move together
(as flaps) or differentially (as ailerons), and are commonly found on
most high-performance models. Brake flaps move together only, and
are used for landing. Brake flaps are sometimes found on scale
models. Butterfly is a high drag configuration used for landings,
referred to as "Crow" elsewhere.
If you plan to use the PCM 1024Z system primarily for sailplanes
and would like to have a three position switch on the left-hand side,
we recommend you purchase a Mode I airplane radio (and convert
to Mode II) or a Mode II helicopter radio.
For conditions that apply to all models (ATV, AFR, D/R, PMX,
STM, TOF, CNA, and TRM functions), refer to the Common Con-
ditions section. For instructions on Helicopters and Airplanes, refer
to the sections pertaining to those aircraft.
