Before doing anything else to set up a glider or sailplane, first you must decide which MODEL TYPE
best fits your MULTIROTOR.
• GLID(1A+1F): The GLID (1A+1F) MODEL TYPE is intended for sailplanes with one or two aileron
servos (or none), and a single flap servo (or two connected with a y-connector). This TYPE is meant
to be a very simplistic version to set up a basic glider without a lot of added features. Additional
flight condition is available.
• GLID (2A+1F): The GLID (2A+1F) MODEL TYPE is intended for sailplanes with dual aileron
servos and a single flap servo (or two connected with a y-connector). Additional flight conditions are
available. These flight conditions contain different offset trims and aileron differentials to make the
sailplane perform certain maneuvers more easily.
• GLID (2A+2F): The GLID (2A+2F) MODEL TYPE supports dual flap servos that can also act as
ailerons, creating full-span ailerons and flap. Additional flight conditions are available. These flight
conditions contain different offset trims and aileron differentials to make the sailplane perform
certain maneuvers more easily.

MIXES:
• Linear Programmable mixes (PROG.MIX1-4): Fully assignable programmable mixed with a linear
response.
• Curved Programmable mixes (PROG.MIX5-8): Fully assignable programmable mixed with a
curved response.
• ELEV-FLAP pre-programmed mix creates elevator movement from the inboard flaps as well as
elevators.
• BUTTERFLY: Often called crow, BUTTERFLY is the glider version of AIRBRAKE. (BUTTERFLY
does not have the option to activate it solely from a switch, and its activation switch. It always
provides progressively more BUTTERFLY as the CHANNEL 3 (THROTTLE) STICK is lowered, or
raised if used THR-REV) See AIRBRAKE.
• CAMBER-MIX AILE-FLAP: This pre-programmed mix is used to create full span flap/aileron
action on a glider with 4 wing servos. This changes the camber over the entire wing, which
produces less drag than just dropping the flaps by themselves.
Note: When you have ELEV-FLAP mixing also, the trailing edge droops with the elevators,
increasing pitch response.
• FLAPERON (GLID 1A+1F only): 2 aileron servos operate in opposite directions as ailerons and
same direction as flaps.
• CAMBER FLAP: Provides camber movement or trimming of flaps. For sailplanes, this function is
also used as wing camber. The amount depends on the model but usually a small amount (less
then 10%) is preferred, since too much camber produces excess drag. Don't use more than about
1/16" travel up or down for glider camber. Some airfoils, such as the RG15, should be flown with NO
reflex/camber. Be sure to consult your model's manual for guidelines.
Note: even though you may make CAMBER FLAP active while using AILE-DIFF, it will not have
any effect. The ONLY function that allows control of the ailerons as flaps in the AILE-DIFF
configuration is airbrake/ butterfly
• ELEVON: for flying wings
• V-TAIL: For models with 2 servos operate together to create roll and pitch control.
• AILEVATOR: Not available in GLID model types.
