Initial Menu Feature Review for GLID Programming
The following item is located in the Initial Menu as described
on page 13 -15. We will review it here.
Select the Model type baseline: In the second menu screen,
the programming baseline of ACRO, GLID, or HELI will be
blinking. Since we are setting up a Sailplane, select GLID by
scrolling to it with a CURSOR button.
Push down both DATA buttons simultaneously to tell the
program to accept the choice-you should hear the transmitter
beep twice in acknowledgement.
Important Note: Do you have a "flying wing" glider?
In the GLID mode the ELVN program is rendered
unavailable-if your glider is a flying wing, use the ACRO
mode to set it up.
Model Setup Main Menu Programming
STCK (Throttle Stick or Switch)
In the GLID programming baseline three new functions appear
that are not available in the ACRO mode: A CROW function
allows you to program a descent control in which both ailerons
move upward while the flaps move downward; an ADF function
creates flaperons and aileron differential and a STCK function
moves the throttle of your glider's motor off the left-hand joystick
and places it on the switch SW-1 on the upper left-hand corner
of the transmitter case (which frees up the joystick to
proportionally control the "CROW" function.)
If your glider uses an electric motor for self-launching, the GLID
programming baseline thoughtfully allows you to retain throttle
control even if you opt to activate the CROW function on the
left-hand joystick/throttle stick. To make this change in order to
have a proportional CROW function, follow these two steps:
1. Go into the Main menu and scroll down to the STCK screen.
The default setting puts the throttle on the left-hand joystick.
2. To put the throttle on the switch SW-1, push down both
DATA buttons simultaneously and watch as the screen
displays "SW 1". Now, when you move this switch toward
you from "0" to "1", the motor will come on with full power

Tip
At this point you should have selected GLID in the Initial
Setup Menu as the baseline programming for the model
you wish to set-up. In the text that follows, we will review
and explain the Model Setup Menu items specific to the
GLID Menu for setting up your glider.
For those GLID features common to ACRO, refer to their
description within the ACRO section to set up your model's
basic functions (such as servo reverse and end point travel).
