The FLAPERON mixing function uses one servo on each of the two ailerons, and uses them for both aileron
and flap function. For flap effect, the ailerons raise/lower simultaneously. Of course, aileron function
(moving in opposite directions) is also performed.
Note: When changing the polarity of a rate, "change rate dir?" is displayed for a check. Please set up after
pressing DIAL for 1 second and canceling an alarm display. (GLID only)
Once FLAPERON is activated, any time you program CH6 or "flap" (i.e. ELEVATOR mixing), the radio
commands both servos to operate as flaps. The amount of travel available as flaps is independently
adjustable in FLAPERON. A trimming feature is also available (see FLAP-TRIM) to adjust both neutral
positions together for straight-and-level flight or slight increases/decreases of the flap angle. END POINT
and SUB-TRIM both still adjust each servo individually.
Adjustability:
Each aileron servo's up travel can be set separate from its down travel, creating aileron differential. (See
example).
Each aileron servo's travel when actuated as a flap is separately adjustable.
AILE-2 can be utilized to use a 5-channel receiver and still have flaperons. NOTE: The AILE-2 function
only commands the channel 5 servo to operate with the aileron servo as ailerons, and to obey the primary
flap control (travel adjusted in FLAP-TRIM.) It does not provide full flap mix capability as when using a 6+
channel receiver and channel 6.
The separate FLAPERON settings for each condition can be set. (GLID)
Note: Activating flaperons only makes the ailerons work as ailerons and tells the radio how far you want
them to move as flaps. If you then activate other programming that moves them as flaps.
FLAP-TRIM is the flap-trimming feature that allows the flaps to move in reaction to the channel 6 control. It
is meant only for trimming the flaps' center but can also be used as full flap control.
ELEVATOR-FLAP would add elevator mixing into the flap movement from the flap dial after FLAP-TRIM
is activated.
