above table – will control the two servos connected
to receiver outputs 6 and 7 by default as flaps. Leave
the default value of "GL" in the "Type" column alone,
however, to configure this setting globally for all flight
phases – as is the case for the free mixer.

Note:
Note that if two flap servos have been selected, any
transmitter control assigned to input 7 will be decou-
pled in the software in order to avoid errors in operat-
ing the flaps. However, in the interests of safety, you
should make a habit of leaving all inputs not currently
required to "free", or of resetting these back to "free"!
Start by moving this transmitter control to its forward
limit and adjust the landing flaps so that they are
retracted or closed in this position. If you now move
the dial to the rear, the flaps should move downward;
if not the direction of servo rotation must be adapted.
We now turn our attention to the first mixer shown in
the screen image on page 206 ("6 EL"), to which
switch 4 was assigned:

The continuous vertical line represents the current
position of the transmitter control linked to input 6.
(However, it is not visible in the above graphic be-
cause it is at the left edge since slider control Sl1, in
this example assigned to input 6 (see previous page),
is at its forward limit.) The dotted vertical line in the
middle of the diagram indicates the position of the
mixer neutral point – see under "Offset", below. The
solid horizontal line shows the mixer ratio, which cur-
rently has the value zero over the entire stick travel;
accordingly, the elevator will not yet follow the move-
ment of the flaps.

The dotted vertical line in the middle of the diagram
indicates the position of the mixer neutral point ("Off-
set"), i. e. the specific point along the control travel at
which the mixer does NOT influence the control chan-
nel connected to its output. The default position for
this point is at the control center.
However, since in our example the flaps should be
closed or retracted with the slider control at its for-
ward limit and therefore the elevator should not be
further influenced in this position, the mixer neutral
point must be relocated to precisely this point. To
do so, push the slider control used (in this example,
slider control Sl1) to its forward limit if you have not
already done so, then briefly tap the center
of the right four-way button. The dotted vertical line
moves across to this point, the new mixer neutral
point, which by definition always retains the "initial"
value of zero.
However, to better illustrate our example, we now
wish to set this "Offset" value to only -75 %:
