XP652 MANUAL Airplane
When the flaps are deployed, most airplanes exhibit
pitching tendencies (most pitch nose up). Elevator
offset trim is designed to prevent this pitching. Flap
to elevator offset trim automatically retrims the
elevator to a preset value when the flap switch is
activated.
Note:
Flap to elevator offset trim is also useful as a
dual elevator trim even for airplanes without flaps.
This is especially helpful for sailplanes that require
one trim setting for launch and another trim setting for
flight.
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Press the MODE and CHANNEL buttons
simultaneously to enter the function mode.
3. Press the MODE button until OFFSET F-E appears
on the screen.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE button to set
the desired amount and direction of the elevator
offset.
Note:
It is helpful to have the flap switch on when
making this adjustment.
5. Press the MODE button to access the
programmable mix function.
6. To exit, press the MODE and CHANNEL buttons
