In addition to the generally interesting adjustment
of the increments in the column “Tr” (number of trim
increments for each “trim lever click”) for digital trim-
ming – separate adjustments for each of the four trim
lever – in the case of the (later) programming of flight
phases in the second column of this menu you can
select whether the trimming of transverse, altitude
and side should operate “GL(obally)” in equal mea-
sure over all flight phases or separately in each
(flight) “PH(ase)”.
The “Time” column, on the other hand, is not of inter-
est for this initial programming.
The settings made up to this point are sufficient to
permit basic flight of winged and motorized mo-
dels – though the latter does require a correctly set
idle stick direction in the “Motor on C1” line of the
»Model type« menu. However, the “fine-tuning” is still
missing. The fine-tuning certainly adds to the enjoy-
ment of flying over the course of time. Therefore, if
you can already fly your model safely, you should
delve into the menu…
»Wing mixer« (beginning on page 170)
… where various options are available, depending on
the specifications made in the »Model type« menu,
page 104.
Since this section deals with a model having only 2
servos in the wings, the Multi-flap menu beginning on
page 181 is not shown.

Therefore, we begin with the “Brake settings” sub-
menu:

If this display appears, your model is equipped with a
motor, contrary to the assumption of this section, and
therefore you have selected “front/back” instead of
“none” in the line “Motor on C1” of the »Model type«
menu, page 104. Therefore, change this setting
temporarily or change the “yes” entry in the “Motor”
column of the »Phase settings« menu, page 152,
to “no” for the currently active flight phase – Phase 1 in
this case.

After this statement about mutual dependencies, back
to the topic:
If the ailerons are to be elevated for braking, an ap-
propriate value is entered into the “Crow” line after
activating the “AILE” column’s value field. In addition,
a value should always be entered in the line below it,
“D.red” (differentiation reduction), which corresponds
to the value you entered or would like to enter on
the first page of the »Wing mixers« menu in the line
“Aile.diff.” (see figure above)! With this entry, on actu-
ation of the brake stick, the set aileron differentiation
is hidden again proportionally in order to increase the
downward the throw of the raised ailerons and thus
significantly improve its effect in the braking phase.
A setting of the “Elevat. curve” mixer is then only
necessary if the flight speed of the model changes
too dramatically on actuation of the brake system. In
any case, you should try out the setting at a sufficient
and readjust, if necessary, whereby you should focus
less on the flight position than on maintaining the
“normal” flight speed of the model. Otherwise there
is the risk that the model plunges when engaging
the brake system, because it became too slow in the
meantime:
