Wing Type Selection
The purpose of the Wing Type Selection function is to eliminate
mechanical or programmable mixes that would otherwise be nec-
essary for the proper flight of certain styles of aircraft. There are
four wing types from which to choose; select the one which will
best suit your aircraft. They are: normal, flaperon, elevon and
quad flaps. You can also activate the V-tail or dual elevator mix-
ing features for V-tailed or dual elevator servo aircraft for any of
the wing type mixing selections with the exception of elevon.
Each of the wing type selections and the V-tail and dual elevator
mixing are explained below.
Accessing and Utilizing the Wing Type Selection
Function
To access the Wing Type Selection function, enter Code 22 in the
code number access selection or use the direct mode method.
Your LCD screen will appear as follows:
Normal Wing Type Selection
This is the first wing type selection which appears on your LCD
display. Use this wing type with common aircraft that utilize only
one servo for both of the ailerons.
Normal is the factory default setting for the wing type selection.
This means that if Code 28, Data Reset, is performed, your radio
will return to this wing type selection.
Flaperons
Touch SEL to activate the next wing type selection —flaperons.
Flaperon control surfaces will move with both aileron and flap
commands.
The most common use of the Flaperon Mode is to allow the
ailerons to be controlled by two or more servos on two separate
channels. Flaperons also allow the use of ailerons as flaps. The
ailerons can be raised or lowered in unison as flaps, yet still
remain fully operational as the ailerons.
Touch + and - simultaneously, or the CL key, to reset the aileron
to the factory default value of 0%.
Flaperon Operation
1. One servo must be used for each aileron, i.e., a separate servo
for each aileron.
2. Connect the left aileron servo to the auxiliary 1 port
(AUX1/FLAP) of your receiver. Plug the right aileron servo
into the aileron port (AILE) of your receiver.
3.Check to make sure that the servos move in the proper direc-
tion. For a right turn, the right aileron should raise while the
left aileron lowers simultaneously. For a left turn, the opposite
is true—the left aileron should raise while the right aileron
drops. If your servos are not moving in the manner (direction)
we have just described, utilize the Servo Reversing function,
Code 11, to reverse the travel direction of the servo(s) that are
moving improperly. (Right aileron – channel 2, Left aileron –
channel 6)
4. Once the servos achieve their proper travel direction, adjust
their travel volume, dual rates, sub-trim, and aileron differential.
Note: The applicable channel’s left or right travel adjustment
may be made individually in Code 12, Travel Adjust. Once they
are adjusted to travel and center together, use Trace Rate (Code
14) to adjust travel for both ailerons at the same time. Please see
Section 8.2 and 8.4 for more travel adjustment details.
