Elevator-to-Flap Mix
S22
Elevator-to-flap mix is normally used to give several
degrees of down flap when up elevator is applied. This
gives more pitch authority than would elevator alone,
and is commonly used for slope racers to improve high-
speed turns and in thermal sailplanes to allow increased
maneuverability for tight thermal turns. An offset is
available that allows the programming of snap-flaps. With
snap-flaps, no flap mixing occurs during small to medium
up elevator inputs, but at about 80% up elevator, the flaps
are mixed to give down flaps, causing greater up pitch
authority. For more detail on setting up snap-flaps, see
the setup guide on page S58.
To access Elevator-to-flap mix, in Function Mode list,
rotate the
Selector
until
ELE

FLP M
is highlighted.
Press the
Selector
to access the Elevator-to-Flap mix
menu. Note that two elevator-to-flap mix values are
available,
Pos0
and
Pos1
and the elevator-to-flap
values can be independently adjusted up and down. Also
the offset (the stick position where the mixing changes
from up to down) can be adjusted. This offset allows
the programming of snap-flaps, a common sailplane
function that gives greater full up elevator pitch authority
for tighter turns. If you choose to program snap-flaps, the
offset adjustment range is -200 to +200. Negative values
move the offset in the up elevator direction. Switches
are available at the bottom of the screen that allow the
selection of Pos0 or Pos1.
Note
: Position 1 always has priority over position
0. Press the
LIST
button to return to the Function
Mode screen.
