ADJUSTMENTS AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
INDEPENDENT AILERON DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION
• Adjustment of the Aileron Differential can help
reduce sideslip in turns and eliminate unwanted
Yaw movements in rolling maneuvers.
• Install and connect the servos as shown in Fig.
71. Always connect the Right Aileron servo to
CH1 (Aileron). The Left Aileron servo is con-
nected to CH7.
• Set Switches 16 and 17 as shown in Fig. 70.
• The Aileron DOWN deflection can be adjusted
by using trimmer 15 .
• The differential amount increases as trimmer 15
is turned clockwise. The differential is zero when
trimmer 15 is turned fully counterclockwise.
This is the same as ordinary aileron differential
operation, except that the ELEVN down amount
can be adjusted with this trimmer.

V.TAIL AND FLPRON MIXING
•This combination of mixing functions can be
used with V-Tail gliders and other aircraft with
full ailerons.
• Set Switches 16 and 17 as shown in Fig. 73.
• See FLPRON and V-TAIL sections (Page 34, 35)
for complete instructions on each of these func-
tions.
V.TAIL AND INDEPENDENT DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION
• This combination can be used aircraft with V-
Tail and full ailerons.
• Set Switches 16 and [17] as shown in Fig. 74.
• Adjust Aileron differential with Trimmer [15].
•See the V.TAIL and aileron differential sections
for a description of the linkages.
Connect to
receiver channel 7.
(One aileron servo mounted at
the right and at the left)
* When connecting the linkage, connect channel 1
to the right wing aileron servo.
• During level flight, smooth left turns without
any sideslip can be made by increasing the right
wing aileron deflection angle without increasing
the left wing aileron deflection angle by turning
on the aileron differential function. Smooth
right turns can be made by performing the op-
posite operation. Use this differential function
Fig. 70
to reduce the aileron down angle rather than the
up angle.
