AILERON-SPEED FLAP COUPLING (ASF)
This function may be used to control mixing
from the ailerons to the speed flaps, making the
entire wing act as ailerons. When the aileron stick
is moved, the aileron and speed flap servos operate
simultaneously, which improves the model's roll
rate.
Setting Up Speed Flap Coupling
Activation of command
In the Condition Menu, press the ASF key to get the
AIL TO SPF menu, as shown below. Use the A ( D ) key
to activate mode setting, then press the ACT or INH
keys ( F and G ) to activate or inhibit speed flap coupl-
ing.
The left and right deflection angles of the speed
flap servos can be adjusted. Speed Flap mixing can
be made to turn on and off during flight by setting
a switch. Initially, an ON/OFF switch is not de-
fined, so mixing remains on all the time.

Flap 1 Left Travel Setting
First set the amount of mixing throw for Flap 1. Press
the C key to activate travel setting for the Left direction
and set the throw with the numeric keys E to M . The
number keys 0 through 100 input the value directly.
The + and - keys increase or decrease the value by 1.
The +/- key may be used to reverse the throw direc-
tion.
If you are not sure what you are changing, hold the
stick to one side and press different keys — if there is no
effect, move the aileron stick to the other side and con-
tinue. Your setting may vary from -100 to +100%, the
initial value is +50%.
Now set the travel for the Right throw on Flap 1.
Press the D key to activate travel setting, and set the
throw with the numeric keys as before.
Flap 2 Left Travel Setting
You now set the amount of mixing throw for Flap 2.
Press the NXT Q key to get to the flap 2 menu, then
press the C key to activate travel setting for the Left
direction and set the throw with the numeric keys E to
M as you did for Flap 1.
Now set the travel for the Right throw on Flap 2.
Press the D key to activate travel setting, and set the
throw with the numeric keys as before.
On/Off Switch Setting
On initial setting, an activation switch for speed flap
mixing is not set, meaning that once activated, it is on all
the time. If you would like to set a switch to turn it on
and off, call the Switch Setting screen by pressing the
SWT P key. Then use the keys to choose the desired
switch location and on direction. For more information
on the switch setting method, see page 37).
