Phase trim
Flight phase-specifi c trims for fl aps, ailerons and elevator
If you wish to enter values other than “0”, e. g. to have
more lift at launch, or to be able to fl y more slowly
when thermalling, or faster when fl ying speed tasks, but
WITHOUT having to change the basic settings each
time, then you need to use alternative fl ight phases. This
is done by activating “Phase 2” and, if necessary, “Phase
3” in the “Basic settings” menu.
This is accomplished by moving to the “Basic settings”
menu and assigning a switch to the selected phase or
phases. If you decide to use one of the three-position
switches SW 4/5 or 6/7 as the phase switch, then it is
advisable to assign it to the “Speed” phase and “Launch”
phase at the extremes, with “normal” at the centre posi-
tion.
Notes:
At the centre position of SW 4/5 or 6/7 the switch •
symbols on the screen should look as in the picture
at top right.
Please note the priorities of the individual fl ight phas-•
es, as described in detail on page 60.
The default name for “Phase 2” is “Launch”, and that for
“Phase 3” is “Speed”. However, you can assign your own
choice of names at any time by selecting the appropriate
line, pressing the central SET button of the right-hand
f
our-way button, and selecting one of the following
names in the highlighted fi eld using the arrow buttons of
the right-hand four-way button.

If you have not assigned a switch to phases 2 or 3 in
the “Basic settings” menu, i. e. you have not assigned
switches to these alternative phases, you automatically
remain in fl ight phase 1 - “normal”.
The number and name (“normal”) of this fl ight phase
are permanently assigned, and cannot be altered. For
this reason the “normal” phase is not stated as Phase
1 “normal” in the “Basic settings” menu; it is simply
concealed.

Setting up fl ight phase trims
In the “Phase trim” menu you can adjust the trims for the
previously selected fl ight phases.
The fi rst step is to use the phase switch you have
already assigned to move to the phase which you wish
