310 Programming examples - Delta and flying wing
Of course, the general comments regarding the in-
stallation and the adjustment of the RC system to a
model at the beginning of the wing model program-
ming on page 280 also applies for delta and flying
wing models! Similarly, the comments for test flying
and fine-tuning the settings to the programming of
flight phases also apply.

Delta and flying wing models differ significantly from a
“normal” flight model due to their unique characteris-
tic shape and geometry. The differences in the servo
arrangement, on the other hand, are more subtle. For
example, with “classic” delta/flying wing models, only
two rudders are normally provided. They are respon-
sible for both “transverse” and “height/depth”, like the
side rudder/elevator function on a V-tail unit.
With more elaborate designs, on the other hand, it
may be the case that one (or two) interior rudders
have only an elevator function and the exterior ai-
lerons only support the height/depth function, under
certain circumstances. Even with a 4, or indeed up
to 8, flap wing the use of camber flap functions and/
or even a crow system is nowadays entirely possible.
In all these cases, however, the following assignment
of the receiver outputs should be used, see also
page 73. Unneeded outputs a simply left free:

… the necessary settings are made:
• “Motor an C1”
“None” or “Throttle min front/back”
• “Tail type”
“Delta/fl”
• “Aileron/camber flaps”
“2AIL” (appears automatically).
To the extent necessary – and if with the respec-
tive transmitter possible – expand default “2 AIL” by
4 AIL or 1, 2 or 4 camber flaps (“1 FL”, “2 FL” or “4
FL”).
• “Brake”
stays as is, only interesting for a delta wing or fly-
ing wing of type “2/4 AIL 1/2/4 FL”. In this case, re-

These model type specifying settings primarily affect
the functions made available in the »Wing mixers«
menu. Therefore, the options are discussed separate-
ly for two-flap and multi-flap models in the following:

By retaining the standard default “2 AIL” in the “Ai-
leron/flaps” line, elevator and aileron control, including
the trim function, are automatically mixed by percen-
tage on the software side. However, on the transmitter
side, the percentage effect of the elevator and aileron
stick can be influenced in the »Dual Rate / Expo«
menu, page 130.

Due to the specific idiosyncrasies of this model type,
additional settings lead to moments which cannot be
compensated.
