EXAMPLE SAILPLANE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
The following example shows how the PCM
1024Z may be programmed for a sailplanes with
two, four, or five wing servos. The settings present-
ed here are for typical models of the three types.
Your model's settings are likely to vary somewhat
from these, but the procedures given will still be
applicable. To make things easier, be sure that the
horns and linkages are all at the same angles and of
the same length. This will make it so identical
servo motion produces identical control surface
movement on both sides.
This manual refers to ailerons, speed flaps, and
brake flaps. Here are the definitions of each:
Ailerons are control surfaces located nearest the
tips of the sailplane's wings. Speed flaps are con-
trols that can move together (as flaps) or differen-
tially (as ailerons), and are commonly found on
most high-performance models. Brake flaps move
together only, and are used for landing. Brake
flaps are sometimes found on scale models. Addi-
tionally, any sailplane can have airbrakes or
spoilers, and electrics will of course have a motor
control.

choose what sticks and
sliders control the
different functions.
Two Wing Servos
[2-S]
Flaperons, Delta Wing,
Electrics.
Optional airbrakes or
spoilers
Set Flaperon FPN
(recommended). Aileron
differential ADF
doesn't allow Flaperon
mixing. You can get
differential in FPN by
setting endpoints.
Four Wing Servos
[4-S]
F3B, multitask, scale.
Optional airbrakes or
spoilers
To get Butterfly control on the throttle stick, change
the SF2 control to J3.
If you will want full-span camber changing, assign
SF1 to LS (for left slider control) or whatever device
you want (LS is the default). Be sure to cut its
authority down in all flight modes using AFR; around
10% is plenty for most models. Check direction of
travel.
Five Wing Servos
[5-S]
Multitask or Scale with
Optional Airbrakes and/or
spoilers
