Activating the Spoiler input in the mixer
12.8.1.
FLAP+ (Butterfly)
For Butterfly (Crow) both ailerons are raised, and the
two inboard flaps are lowered.
We have already prepared the up-deflection of the ai-
lerons in Section ( 12.5.).
At this point the travel of the two inboard flaps (servos
6 and 7) can be set:
- Open the menu £Mixer
- Select and open FLAP+
- Select the Spoiler line
- Press ENTER twice to open the
Travel parameter (trv)
- Move the Spoiler stick to the "extended" position
- Set the travel using the 3-D digi-adjuster
- Conclude with ENTER.

12.8.2.
FLAP+ (camber-changing flaps)
Setting up the four wing control surfaces to act as
camber-changing flaps allows you to optimise the
model's aerodynamic characteristics for different flight
situations.
The camber-changing flap function is controlled using
the Flap transmitter control. The default setting for this
is the right-hand slider (F) ( 12.3.).
For speed flying all the wing flaps are raised slightly;
for thermal flying they are all drooped slightly.
For the slider to have any effect you must first "turn
up" (assign a value to) the Flap inputs in the two mixers
AILERON+ and FLAP+.
To test the system you could initially set both sides of
the Flap input to 20% in the FLAP+ mixer:
£Mixer.FLAP+
¨Exit
š trv' trv#
Flap – 20%
Spoiler – OFF
Aileron – OFF
Ele -Tr – OFF
--------– ---------
If you now move slider F, the inboard flaps should respond.
If the direction of flap deflection to slider movement
does not meet your requirements, you must change
the prefix of both travel inputs:
š trv' trv#
Flap – -20% -20% *
Note: the effect of setting different prefixes for the two
travels would be that the flaps always deflect in the
same direction from centre, i.e. whether the slider is
moved forward or back.

The values must be set in such a way that the travels

(flaps) are the same.

mixer (aileron support by the inboard
(camber-changing) flaps)
If your model requires it, you can set up the inboard
wing flaps to act as superimposed ailerons to support
the primary ailerons. In this case the Split arrangement
is generally used. This means: the inboard flap on the
wing panel whose aileron moves up should also be
set to deflect up.
This is the procedure for setting the aileron travel of
the two inboard wing flaps (servos 6 and 7):
- Open the menu £Mixer
- Select and open FLAP+
- Select the Aileron line
- Press ENTER to open the Travel'
parameter (trv')
- Move the aileron stick to one end-point
- Use the 3-D digi-adjuster to set the required
travel
- Conclude the procedure with ENTER.
If you hold the stick to the right, only the flap in the
right wing changes its position.

The extent to which the left aileron (as seen from the
