Section 5: Acro and Glider Programming Menu

Acro and Glider Programming Menu

When the active model is configured as fixed-wing (ACRO or GLID) model type, the Model Function menu
contains programming options which are useful for fixed-wing aircraft. This section describes the features
and programming steps for the ACRO and GLID model function menus.

From the Model Function menu, you can program the following fixed-wing-specific functions:

FLT.COND:

Configure specific control settings for different phases of flight.

AIL DIFF:

Configure aileron servos to move further upwards than down.

ELEVON MIX:

Specify independent pitch and roll control throws for aircraft with elevons.

V-TAIL MIX:

Specify independent pitch and yaw control throws for aircraft with a V-tail.

AILEVATOR:

Specify independent pitch and roll control throws for aircraft with ailevators (also called

“tailerons”).

AIL>RUD:

User-adjustable mix that defines rudder movement with aileron control inputs.

ELEV>CAMB:

Alter wing control surfaces with elevator inputs.

Camber Mix (GLID only):

Adjust wing control surfaces with switch movements.

FLAP CON:

Mix elevator throw with flap movement.

Landing (ACRO only):

Fine tune aileron, elevator and flaps for landing mode.

B-fly (GLID only):

Configure wing control surfaces to act as an air brake (also known as “crow”).

GYRO:

Specify gyro on/off and sensitivity settings.

THRO CUT (ACRO only):

Configure a kill switch for glow/gas motors.

T.CURVE (ACRO only):

Specify non-linear throttle response.

If you have not already programmed a model with the preceding quick start guide, we
encourage you to do so before tackling the model programming section of the manual.

Tip

Caution

Working with the Acro/Glid Model Function Menu

1. Turn on transmitter. When prompted to transmit, select “NO”.

2. Verify that the active model is an ACRO or GLID model type.

3. To access the model function menu, press and hold the jog dial.

Working with the Acro/Glid Model Function Menu

4. The menu options shown reflect the parameters defined for the active model in the model type menu
(Model Type, Wing and Tail). ACRO and GLID-specific items are integrated in the menu with the options
that are common to all model types.

Flight Conditions

The Flash 8 allows you to program up to five flight conditions. This powerful feature lets you define
customized trim values and mix settings for different phases of flight.
The flight conditions for fixed wing aircraft are:

ACRO

1. Normal
2. COND-2
3. COND-3
4. COND-4

If you are using multiple flight conditions and any of the listed features, you must define set-up values
for each flight mode. Typically, the top field of each affected menu allows you to select the desired flight
mode. Alternately, you may select the desired flight mode using the assigned F.Cond switch.
The following features support flight condition programming in ACRO or GLID mode:
Dual Rate and Exponential
