Setting flap travel (flaperon) (FLTR)
Provided that you have selected channel 6 as the second aileron
channel, you can now press the "S" button to move on to a further
sub-menu in which you can set the travels for the flaperon option
(flaps). If the mixer is switched off (INH), flap travel is 100%.
-
The first step is to activate the mixer.
-
The "INH" symbol flashes; turn the 3-D hotkey to the left to "ON".
-
Press the "S" button; the "%" symbol flashes.
-
The flap servo travels can now be set for each direction of the
transmitter control separately. The default setting is 30%.
-
Move the linear slider 6 or the throttle stick forward; the arrow
should point up. If the arrow points down, locate the plug from
the linear slider at the circuit board and turn it through 180°.
-
Travel is adjusted by rotating the 3-D hotkey. The adjustment
range is -100% to +100%.
-
Pull the linear slider 6 back, and set the flap travel for the "down"
direction.
-
Holding the 3-D hotkey pressed in for 1 second reverts to the
default value (30%).
The diagrams show an example in which large "up" travel has been
set for use as spoilers (65% = approx. 40º flap travel), while the
"down" travel is smaller, for use as camber-changing flaps, intended
to give a slight increase in wing lift.
Offset (centre offset)
To make it easier to control the spoilers in flight it is desirable to set
a defined position for the retracted and extended flaps when
acting as spoilers.
This can be achieved by offsetting the centre position of the spoiler
control (linear slider or stick) to any desired position.
In our example this is the end-point of the transmitter control.
-
Press the "S" button until "SET" on the screen flashes.
-
Move the linear slider or stick to the desired position, then hold
the 3-D hotkey pressed in for 1 second.
-
This causes the software to adopt the new transmitter control
position as the "new zero setting".
Dead zone range (LIMT); only active if FLTR = "ON"
Pressing the "S" button again takes
you to the "LIMT" menu, in which you
can set a "dead zone".
This makes sense if the spoilers are operated by a linear slider, as it
is easy (and unwanted) to extend the spoilers slightly by accident.
To prevent this you can set a particular point on the spoiler travel
after which the transmitter control starts to have effect; this is done
in the LIMT menu.
-
1 = "Dead zone"; transmitter control has no effect
-
2 = Limit point
-
3 = Active airbrake travel
-
Move the transmitter control (stick or linear slider) to the posi
tion at which the Limit point (2) is to be located.
-
Now hold the 3-D hotkey pressed in until the new position is
displayed on the screen as a percentage of the control travel.
-
Rotating the 3-D hotkey reverses the prefix, so that you can
select whether the active brake range lies above or below the
Limit point.
