To configure flap control:
1. From the model menu, rotate the jog dial to highlight “FLAP
CON” and press the jog dial once to enter the activation menu.

3. Rotate the jog dial to select “ACT” (activate), then press the

Flap Control
Flap Control is used to mix elevator control with flap movements. This is an effective way of avoiding pitch
changes to the aircraft when flaps are deployed.
4. Highlight the “FLAP” row of the value table and press the jog
dial to activate the menu.
5. Scroll to highlight the “L/U” (left/up) field and press the jog
dial to activate the menu.
6. Rotate the jog dial to increase (clockwise) or decrease
(counter-clockwise) the desired endpoint for the servo attached
to the assigned flap channel. This value defines the end point
when the flap is fully retracted. Set this value carefully to avoid
any binding of the control linkages. Press the jog dial to confirm
your input.
It is possible to select and adjust both the “L/U” (left/up) and “R/D” (right/down) fields simultaneously.
However, with flaps, it is typically necessary to have asymmetric throw. So it is advisable to adjust
each field independently.
