Program description - Wing mixers
Model type: “4AIL 4FL”
If you have connected the servos to the receiver as
described on page 73, and selected them for the
appropriate tasks in the »Model type« menu, see
page 104, of the
mc-16 HoTT transmitter with
twelve channels unlocked, or the standard twelve-
channel mc-20 HoTT transmitter, then the ab-
breviations “AIL”, “AIL2”, “FL” and “FL2” refer to the
following control surfaces:

Delta/flying wing type models with more than two
wing flaps
If you have selected the “Delta/fl“ tail type and se-
lected the number of wing flaps in the “Aile/flaps” line
on the »Model type« menu (following the instructions
given in that section on page 104), then the two
ailerons will normally not move when you move the
elevator stick – and the same will be true for the inner
flaps (FL) and FL2 (if present). The reason for this is
the default mixer ratio of 0% for all wing flaps, set for
the “EL  FL” mixer that is to be found on the multi-
flap menu:

Accordingly, you must first specify your desired eleva-
tor control on the “EL  FL” line. Take care to ensure
that up/down activation occurs in the right sequence.
Note:
The “Brake settings” sub-menu (see page 181) is
also suitable for setting up the butterfly (crow) func-
tion with delta and flying wing models. In fine-tuning
the deflection of the flap pairs AIL, FL and (if present)
AIL2 and/or FL2, however, ensure that the moments
created by one pair of flaps compensate the moments
created by the other pair of flaps in each case. For
example: the “up” effect of ailerons when deflected up
should be compensated by a “down” effect from flaps
when they are lowered.
