ADJUSTMENTS AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
•FLAP/ELEVATOR MIXING
(PRE-SET FLAPS AND ELEV. TRIM)
FLAP-> ELEVATOR MIXING (ELEVATOR DOWN MIXING) ADJUSTMENT
• This is a pre-set or switch-activated type of mix-
ing and is ideal for landing approaches with
stunt and scale aircraft. An airbrake effect is
produced which is very realistic and makes short
field landings easier.

1. Set Airbrake Switch [32] (6, 7 -> 2 MIX) to ON.
Monitor Lamp (C) comes ON. Control Switch
10 can be used to turn the function ON and
OFF in flight. When Switch 10 is ON, Lamp
(C) Blinks.
2.Turn Switch 10 ON and set Flap Knob 6 to
Zero. Lower the flaps 45 to 60 degrees using
Trimmer [20] and set the Elevators about 3
degrees down using Trimmer 1 9 . NOTE: These
settings are estimates and will vary depending
on elevator and flap areas, etc.
3.Set Switch 10 to OFF for takeoff. When at a
safe altitude, reduce the throttle to medium
slow and after the aircraft has slowed some-
what, turn Switch 10 to ON. The aircraft
should maintain level flight. If the aircraft
climbs or dives, set Switch 10 to OFF, land,
and readjust the elevator angle as necessary
with Trimmer 19 . Remember, do NOT try to
adjust back panel trimmers while in Flight.
Make adjustments in small steps.
4. Flap Neutral position can be changed in Flight
using the Flap Knob 6 . This applies whether
mixing in ON or OFF.

•AIRCRAFT WITH FLAPS AND SPOILERS
(AIRBRAKE)
Fig. 51
1. Connect the Flap servo to CH6 and the Spoiler
servo to CH7 on the Receiver. Set Switch [32]
to ON.
2. Set Control Switch 10 to ON and adjust the
flaps as shown in Fig. 51 with Trimmer [20].
Adjust the spoiler servo travel with Memory
ATV Trimmers [46] and 4 7 . (See Page 17)
3.When used in this manner, flaps and spoilers
will be deployed simultaneously to the pre-set
positions when Switch 10 is set to ON. This
acts as an airbrake. NOTE: In this mode, the
Spoiler Knob 7 will be inoperative and its
function transfered to Switch 10 . Alternative-
ly, Switch [32] can be set to CH7 OFF and Knob
7 used
for
spoiler control.
4. Elevator Trimmer 19 can be adjusted if neces-
sary so that the aircraft maintains level flight
with the airbrake deployed.
