Program description - Wing mixers
direction of rotation of aileron and flap servos.
A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset the given
active (inverse video) field to its default value shown
in the figure.

Here, you set the flight phase-specific wing flap posi-
tions for all of the flaps present on the model in ques-
tion. In this way, you can specify the flap positions
that apply to each flight phase.
The adjustment range of -100 % to +100 % makes it
possible to set the correct direction of travel regard-
less of the direction of rotation of the aileron and flap
servos.
A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset the given
active (inverse video) field to its default value shown
in the figures.
FL (Effect of flap control)
This line specifies the percentage of effect produced
on aileron and flaps by the settings (if applicable, also
flight-phase dependent settings) made for Input 6 in
the »Control adjust« menu, page 118.

For each flap pair, you can define either a symmetri-
cal or an asymmetric effect. Position the transmitter
control accordingly – either centrally or to the relevant
side.
If each travel adjustment is left at +100 % on the
»Control adjust« menu, page 118, then values
between 5 % and 20 % should generally be sufficient
here.
A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset the given
active (inverse video) field to its default value shown
in the figures.
Note:
• By default, NO transmitter control is assigned to
input 6 on the »Control adjust« menu. Howev-
er, you can assign a transmitter control or switch
to this input at any time – also in a flight phase-de-
pendent way – thus enabling different flap settings
within a flight phase; see also example 2 on page
302.
• As already mentioned in the remarks in the sec-
tion starting on page 170, the two INC/DEC but-
tons (CTL 5 or 6) are virtually ideal for this pur-
pose, as their position is automatically stored.
They are fitted as standard to the
mc-20 HoTT
transmitter, and available as an extra-cost option
on the mc-16 HoTT transmitter.
EL  FL (Elevator  flaps)
To provide support for the elevator for tight turns
and aerobatics, this mixer can be used to make the
flap function follow controls sent to the elevator. The
mixer direction chosen must ensure that the flaps are
deflected downwards when the elevator is oriented
upwards and vice versa for a downward-oriented
elevator – i. e. in opposite directions.
For each flap pair, you can define either a symmetri-
cal or an asymmetric effect. Position the transmitter
control accordingly – either centrally or to the relevant
side. Values in the range -150 % to +150 % are pos-
sible:

A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset the given
active (inverse video) field to its default value shown
in the figures.
The “usual” values for this mixer are in the low two-
digit range.
If a switch is assigned in the next line, “EL  F L”
then the effect produced on flaps can be switched on
and off with the elevator.
