Elevator to Camber Mixing
The Elevator to Camber Mixing function allows you to mix a percentage of Camber or Reflex control with elevator control. The
Elevator to Camber Mixing function is typically used in high-performance sailplanes to make the wing more efficient and to increase
turning performance. For example, if you want to increase turning performance to enable sharper turns for pylon racing, you
would want to mix Camber when you pull up elevator. The amount and the direction of Camber or Reflex travel when the elevator
is moved up and down is adjusted by changing the Elevator 4 Camber mixing percentage value either positive or negative. An
Input and Output display, along with a graph, help with programming visualization.
IMPORTANT The Elevator to Camber Mixing function must be assigned to a Switch Position Number before it can be
Activated. For more information, see page 45.
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight MIXING, then press the ENTER key to display the MIXING menu. The AI 4 RU1
sub-menu will be highlighted by default.
2) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight EL 4 CB, then press the
ENTER key to display the EL 4 CB menu. The cursor will default to
COMMON>COM.
3) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to choose the desired COM or SEP
option as described previously.
Changing the Point and Rate Percentage Values
Programming the Point and Rate percentage values on a Curve allows you to achieve maximum flexibility and fine-tuning for
specific uses. The Point and Rate percentage values work together to determine the amount of Camber or Reflex travel in relation
to elevator travel. Nine different Points with varying Rates can be programmed onto the Curve. Use the Input and Output display,
along with the graph, to help with programming visualization. The Point that is currently selected will blink.
1) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight POINT>5.
2) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to choose which Point you would like to
set a Rate percentage value for.
POINT setting range is 1 through 9. Point 1 is at the low end of the Curve and Point 9 is at the high end of the Curve. Point 5
is a the center of the Curve. The default Point is Point 5.
