FLTR — Flap Trim Function
The Flap Trim function is used to specify the amount of flap travel produced by moving
the flap control (the CH6 knob). If flaperon (
FLPR
) function has been activated,
FLTR
is
automatically turned on. Sailplane folks call this effect “camber,” because the model’s airfoil is
changed across the span.
Setting Flap Trim function
1. Use the up or down arrow keys to select the
FLTR
window.
2. Press the
CURSOR
key to get to the activation setting. The
INH
indicator
will flash on and off.
3. Now press the (+) key to activate the flap trim function. At this time, the
ON
indicator will blink on and off.
4. Now you’ll set the flap knob’s travel direction. This is similar to the reversing menu, but it
reverses the response of both flaperons if flaperon mode is active.
Pressing the
CURSOR
key one time causes the large sign in front of the number to blink. You
may reverse the travel direction by selecting the minus (–) sign.
5. Pressing the
CURSOR
key again moves to the flap travel setting number (the percent sign
should now be flashing). The 30% default value produces “reasonable” travel for many models,
but you must try it out on your own model to be sure. A 100% setting causes extreme travel and
is not recommended. You may want to set it to a smaller number, say 10% for starters. If you
wish to return to the default 50% setting, press both the (+) and (–) keys simultaneously.
