12 SYSTEM
If any of the Auxiliary Channels are to be used as a Mate in the Dual servo facility, (see the Wing Type section), they must
first be made available by inhibiting their output. Inhibiting the output may also be necessary for some Programme Mix
operations.
The Flap channel has a special mode - the Flap System Mode - where the Flap deflection is controlled by a three position
switch (or the Flight Modes), in each case, with a compensating Elevator deflection. See Function Mode - FLAP SYS.
Note that FLAP.SYS only appears in the Function Menu List when SYS is selected for the Flap output.
The AUX2 and AUX3 channels also have a special mode - the Gyro Mode - where a Gyro gain may be set. If a single gyro
is used, either channel may be selected. See Function Mode - GYRO SYS. Note that GYRO SYS. only appears in the
Function Menu List when GYRO is selected for the AUX2/AUX3 output.
The output line (bottom line) of the display indicates the current output state of the Auxiliary Channels immediately above.
To select the Auxiliary Channel output condition, highlight the appropriate ACT/INH/SYS/GYRO in the bottom line
to the right of "OUT:", by rotating the Scroll Bar and click on it to swap between the choices.
Press the LIST key to return to the System Menu List. Press the enter (ENT) key to return to the Information Display
Screen.
Device Select (Glider Mode)
To access the System Menu List (SYSTEM M.), start with the transmitter switched off. Press the ENT (Enter) key and
while holding it down, switch the transmitter on. The System Menu List is displayed. Rotate the Scroll Bar to highlight the
DeviceSEL menu choice and click to bring up the sub menu.

Launch Flight Mode.
