Differential Rate
The 10X transmitter offers aileron differential for the flaperon
wing type selection. Differential ailerons are used to tailor the
flight control system to a particular aircraft. Because the down-
ward travel of the aileron creates more drag than does the upward
travel, it is necessary to reduce the amount of down travel for
each aileron. This drag may produce a yawing tendency in your
aircraft, causing poor roll tracking. Aileron differential over-
comes the yaw as it reduces the downward travel of the applica-
ble aileron.
Note: In the programmable Mixing functions, Codes 51-58,
Section 8.11 of this manual, you can employ the aileron differen-
tial in the mix. This is only applicable where the aileron channel
is the master or mixed-to channel and does not appear in any
other circumstance.
Differential/Aileron Rate Switch Selection
Two differential rate settings can be selected and programmed to
be activated in any or all of the flight modes or with a variety of
switches. Differential aileron rate is only available when flaperon,
elevon or quad flap is selected in wing type and two servos (one
for each aileron) are utilized and plugged into the correct receiver
channels (2 and 6).
Note: When Flight Modes are activated, they replace the corre-
sponding switches below:
Important: Position 1 always takes priority over Position 0 such
that if any switch is turned on and is programmed to Position 1,
Position 1’s differential value will be activated.
Adjusting the Differential Rate:
The differential rate is adjustable from ±100%. To increase the
differential rate, touch the + key. The percentage values increase
accordingly. If the aileron differential is increasing opposite to
the desired direction (more up than down aileron control throw),
touch the TURN key. This resets the direction of the aileron dif-
ferential while still retaining the differential percentage value.
Your LCD confirms the negative value by replacing the + below
the dif-rate with a - symbol. If you want to decrease the amount
of aileron differential, touch the - key.
If left at 0%, the ailerons maintain equal travel for both sides.
That is, there will not be any differential whatsoever.
If set at 50%, the aileron that is lowered travels 50%, or half, as
far as the upward aileron. If adjusted to 100%, you achieve what
is commonly referred to as a “split.” This means that the only
aileron that moves is the aileron that travels upward. The aileron
that normally drops remains stationary.
A graphic interpretation of the aileron differential feature would
appear as follows:
To reset the differential value to the factory default of 0%, touch
the + and - keys simultaneously or touch the CL key.
Elevon
On delta wing, or elevon, style aircraft, the wing control surfaces
function together as elevator inputs and in opposition to one
another as ailerons. Thus the name elevon.
Touch the SEL key one time from the flaperon wing type to select
the elevon style wing. If you want to access elevon from the nor-
mal wing type selection, touch the SEL key two (2) times.
