4.3.4 OFFSET (GLID 2A+2F):
Additional flight conditions are available specifically for sailplanes.
These additional flight conditions contain different offset trims to make the sailplane perform certain
maneuvers more easily. Aileron differential functions may be set to provide separate rates per condition
selected.
Prior to setting up OFFSET, you must active the conditions and assign the switches in the
CONDITION/FUNCTION.
Unnecessary fuselage motion is generated when there are sudden changes in the servo position and
variations in the operating time between channels can be suppressed by using the delay function.
Note: The same delay amount for elevator and rudder is recommended when using V-tail function.
The AT9 provides 5 additional setups along with the normal flight condition. (NORMAL,
START, SPEED, DISTANCE and LANDING) These offset trims have same setting abilities basically
except the switch and dial assignment. For an example of trim settings, please see the following:
ADJUSTABILITY:
Separate adjustments for each aileron, elevator, rudder and flap servo, for each condition.
SWITCH G (AT10) or E (AT10) is programmed for NORMAL, START, and SPEED trims. SWITCH C is
programmed for DISTANCE and LANDING trims. These switch/position assignment is adjustable.
(CONDITION/FUNCTION)
TRIM item (Digital trim operation mode):
NORM: normal trim operation mode.
MIX: offset rate trim operation mode while mixing is on.
Optional assignable knob (CAMBER MIX) to allow trimming in flight of the aileron and flap action of
each flight condition.
During OFFSET operation, the aileron and elevator travels are displayed on each trim display in the Startup
screen.
Goals Steps Inputs
Set up a ST ART to gain
maximum possible lift on launch.
Each Aileron: 50%. Each Flap:
100%.
Elevator: -5% to compensate.
