Ail Diff

The Aileron Differential function allows you to program greater upward aileron movement than
downward movement on models with more than one wing servo. This setup is commonly used to correct
airplanes that tend to yaw in the opposite direction of a roll (adverse yaw). You may also wish to configure
aileron-rudder mixing in this situation.

1. From the model menu, rotate the jog dial to highlight “AIL
DIFF” and press the jog dial once to enter the aileron
differential menu.

2. Scroll to the “RATE” field and press the jog dial to activate the
menu.

3. Scroll to input the desired rate value. This value represents the
difference between 100% downward travel and the adjusted
travel. A rate value of 50 is typically a good starting point. Note
that the travel values displayed in the “AILE” and AIL2” fields
reflect changes to the rate value.

You can also enter the timer menu directly from the home screen. Scroll to highlight a timer on
the screen and press the jog dial.
