Notes:
The flap mixers and flap differential only appear in •
the list if you have also entered “2fl” in the “aile/flap”
line at the “Delta / Flying wing” model type; see illus-
tration on the right.
In principle the same applies to the “Brake • ¼ NN *”
mixers. These are also suppressed if you have de-
cided on “Throttle min forward / back” in the “motor at
C1” line of the “Basic settings” menu.
Even if you have selected “2aile2fl”, the (digital) ele-•
vator and aileron trims only affect aileron / elevator. If
you wish to circumvent this, it is simpler to program
your model as described in the following section.

• “Idle forward” or “Idle rear”
The Ch 1 trim operates either
forward or back. If you switch the
transmitter on with the throttle stick
too far in the direction of full-throttle,
you will see the warning message
“Throttle too high” on the screen.
In the “Aileron / fl ap” line of the
“base sett.” menu it is only possible
to select “1AL” or “2AL”, and the
mixers “Brake ¼ NN*” in the “Wing
mixers” menu and all mixers “from”
and “to” fl aps are disabled.
In the “base sett.” menu the “Motor
stop” option is activated.
“tail type”: “Delta / fl ying wing” or “Normal”
“aile/fl ap”: Two ailerons “2aile” and - if present
and selectable - two fl aps “2fl ”.
The primary function of these settings is to defi ne the
range of wing mixers which the software makes avail-
able. If you select the “Delta / fl ying wing” tail type, the
software automatically superimposes the elevator and
aileron functions. In this case the mixer ratios can be
adjusted by varying the Dual Rate settings in the “D/R /
Expo” menu (see page 82).
If you select “Delta / fl ying wing”, all settings of the

Programming a model delta using the “normal” tail
setting
Alternatively, if you select the “normal” tail type in the
“Basic settings” menu, and connect the servos to the
receiver as shown in the lower of the two receiver socket
sequence diagrams on the left-hand page, then the
aileron function of the two elevon servos will work cor-
rectly, but not the elevator function.
In the “normal” tail type you have to force the two ailer-
on servos and the two fl ap servos to move in the same
direction and provide an elevator effect when an eleva-
tor command is given. This requires the “elev ¼ NN *”
wing mixers, whose effect can be adjusted separately.
The procedure starts by selecting the …
