Adjust the amount of rudder movement
Interface path: WFLY → [Model Menu] → [Winglet]
This function is used to adjust the left and right rudder of the model winglet. The winglet is used to reduce
the induced drag caused by the wing tip vortex. (Winglets are vertical or angled extensions at the end of
each wing.)
The winglets can significantly increase the wing's aspect ratio without increasing the structural stress
and weight of the wing. Although increasing the span is also able to reduce the induced drag, it also
introduces parasitic drag and requires more power to support the weight of the wing, which results in no
overall savings. The winglet can help solve this problem, it increases the aspect ratio, but does not
increase the wing's wingspan.
In the "model type" selection, the main wing type is selected as "delta wing", and when the tail type is
selected as "winglet", the rudder angle of the two rudders of the winglet can be adjusted at this interface.
(Applicable only to models with one servo on each side of the rudder).
●
The amount of operation of each servo can be adjusted separately. (For the connection method of the
steering gear, please refer to "Servo connection in different model categories")
● When the connection causes the mixing direction to be reversed, it can be adjusted by changing the
polarity (+/-) of the action amount.
● When the amount of action is too large or the rudder is repeated, the servo may not respond. Be sure to
confirm the actual movement of the body when setting.
* Flight conditions: Set the "Flight Conditions" control switch in [Model Menu] → [Condition]. Switching is
performed by switches, and function settings are made separately.
