Programming example - fi xed-wing model
your choice:
stick mode
motor on C1
1
no
tail type normal
CH8 delay
aile/flap 2aile
yes
tail type: “normal”, “V-tail”, “delt/FlW” or
“2elev sv”
aile/fl ap: 1 or 2 aileron servos and 0 or 2 fl ap
servos
Note:
If your model is fi tted with only one camber-changing
fl ap servo, you should still select “… 2FL”. Later, in the
“Fixed-wing mixers” menu (see page 88), you should
select the “AIL ¼ FL” mixer and set it to 0%. You can still
exploit all the other mixers available at that point in the
usual way.
At this juncture - if not before - you should check that
the servos are connected to the receiver in the standard
Graupner sequence:
Airbrakes or throttle / speed controller
or speed controller (electric)
Right flap servo
Flap servo or left flap servo
Rudder servo or V-tail
Aileron servo or left aileron servo
Elevator servo or V-tail
Right aileron servo
Auxiliary function
Receiver power supply
Notes:
If you set up a V-tail, but the “up / down” and / or “left •
/ right” functions work the wrong way round, please
refer to the table in the right-hand column on page
44 for the remedy. The same procedure can be used
if you set up fl aperons (superimposed ailerons and
fl aps), and they work the wrong way round.
The following settings apply to a model with a “nor-•
mal” tail and no motor (“none”); if your model has a V-
tail, the settings can be adopted virtually unchanged.
However, if the model is a delta or fl ying wing, the sit-
uation is not quite so straightforward. A special pro-
gramming example covering this model type will be
found in the section starting on page 156.

… ... you can set various parameters relating to the ser-
vos, i. e. “direction of rotation”, “neutral setting” and
“servo travel”, to suit the requirements of the model.
By “requirements” we mean adjustments to servo centre
and servo travel which are needed to compensate for
minor tolerances in servos and slight inaccuracies on
the model itself.
Note:
The facilities provided in this menu for setting asym-
metrical servo travels are NOT intended as a means of
setting up differential travel on ailerons and / or camber-
changing fl aps. There are more suitable options for
this in the form of specifi c functions in the “Fixed-wing
mixers” menu; see the fi rst two options in the picture on
the right.
Once you have completed the settings described thus
far, a fi xed-wing or powered model aircraft (the latter
if you enter the idle direction of the throttle stick in the
“Motor at Ch 1” line of the “Basic settings” menu) will,
in principle, fl y.
However, there are no “refi nements” in this set-up, and
it is the refi nements which will give you more long-term
pleasure in your fl ying. Assuming that you are already
capable of controlling your model safely, it’s time to get
a taste of these extra facilities; to this end we now move
on to the …
