The next option from the first ADVANCED MENU screen is the CAMBER MIX.
Camber Mixing (CAMBER MIX)(GLID): This function adjusts the mixing rate of
camber operation which operates the wing camber (ailerons and flaps) in the
negative and positive directions. The aileron, flap, and elevator rates can also
be adjusted independently and attitude changes caused by camber operation
can be corrected.
Also the operation reference point of camber control can be offset. (PRE)
I have configured my CAMBER MIX as per page 85 of the 10C manual. I had to
configure the down AILE and ELEV sections as negatives, in order to get them
to travel in the needed direction – not sure why. I have assigned the CAMBER
MIX to right-side slider switch VR(E), with the center at 0%. Moving the slider
switch down provides the incremental full-wing CAMBER, and moving the
slider switch up provides the full-wing REFLEX. Once complete, press the END button to get back to the previous screen.
turned on. The amount of movement is adjustable by pushing the left "throttle" stick up to increase the percentage amount of
CROW that you want to apply - with the left stick all the way down being 0%.
When complete, press END to get back to the first ADVANCE MENU screen.
Press the CURSOR button to move to the second ADVANCE MENU screen.
Navigate down to the AILE-FLAP selection and press the PUSH button.
I have configured my AILE-FLAP settings as per page 82 in the 10C manual, and assigned the mix to the center position of SWITCH C.
With the switch thrown into the center position, I have full span ailerons. With the switch in the up or down position, only the
ailerons operate. When complete, press the END button to move back to the previous screen.
The next option from the first ADVANCED MENU screen is the BUTTERFLY.
BUTTERFLY (often called "CROW"- see GLID, page 80 of the 10C manual for
details) simultaneously moves the flap, twin ailerons and elevator, and is
usually used to make steep descents or to limit increases in airspeed in dives.
Be sure you understand what dropping ailerons will do when in BUTTERFLY.
Along with creating an enormous amount of drag (desirable for spot
landings), this also creates "wash-in", a higher angle of attack where the
ailerons are, and encourages tip stalling.
Again, I have configured my CROW settings as per page 88 of the 10C
manual, and assigned the CROW function to SWITCH A. With the switch in
the up position, CROW is off. With the switch in the down position, CROW is
AILE-FLAP: This pre-programmed mix is used to create full span aileron
action on a glider with 4 wing servos. This increases the roll rate and
decreases induced drag. For normal flying, a value of about 50% is often
used. For slope racing or F3B models in speed runs, you may wish to use a
larger value approaching 100%.
