Creating and customising models
8.1.5 Using camber-changing flaps as spoilers
If your model has inboard flaps, you should use the camber-changing flaps also as
airbrakes (spoilers):
1. Open the Mixer > FLAPS+ menu.
2. Set the value for the Spoiler > Travel parameter to 100%.
3. Move the control for the Spoiler control function to maximum.
If both flaps do not move down, reverse the travel using the REV/CLR button.
4. Reduce both travel distances, up and down, of the aileron.
In this mixer, you can adjust the travel distances of the ailerons separately.
The flaps should have the travel recommended by the manufacturer of your
model.
5. Configure the differential in the Mixer > Differnt.Ail menu (see section
8.1.3.1 "Configuring aileron differential" on page 183).
8.1.6 Optimisation
Your model is now configured and ready for flying. The following optimisation
options are available:
ď‚· Camber-changing flaps:
Increase the travels for Flap in the mixers AILERONS+ and FLAPS+ (see
section 5.5.2.4 "Mixers on the servo side" on page 137).
ď‚· Snap flap:
Increase the travels for Elevator in the mixers AILERONS+ and FLAPS+.
You can configure the mixer input as switchable by assigning a switch to the
Elevator mixer input in the SETUP > Define mixer > AILERONS+ menu and
the SETUP > Define mixer > FLAPS+ menu (see section 5.3.7 "Define mixer"
on page 105).
ď‚· Elevator compensation:
You can mix Spoiler, Flap and Throttle into the elevator using the Mixer >
ELEVATOR+ menu (see section 5.5.2.4 "Mixers on the servo side" on page 137).
ď‚· Combi-Switch:
Define a switch in the Setup > Assign.Switches menu and assign it in the
Mixer > Combi-Switch menu (see section 5.5.1.1 "Combi-Switch" on page 127).
