Programming a 6-Channel Sailplane
This section has been adapted for the PCM9X II from
the Programming a 6-Channel Sailplane section by
Engineering Manager John Adams in the XP9303
manual.
The PCM9X II offers tremendous flexibility allowing
nearly infinite setup options. Five flight modes are
available that allow virtually every parameter to be
independently adjusted in each flight mode. Camber
adjustment, landing flaps, motor control, flight modes
with all their options, programmable mixes, dual rates
and even the two timers can be programmed to several
Left 3-position switch
Flight Modes – Launch
Cruise
Land

Camber adjustment
The following setup utilizes three flight modes (Launch,
Cruise and Land), which are selected using the left 3-
position switch on the face of the transmitter. Trailing
edge camber adjustment will be assigned to the left side
lever in the launch and cruise mode. Butterfly
(landing flaps) will be assigned to the spoiler stick

different levers and/ or switches, allowing personal
customization preferences.
Following is a step-by-step programming guide that will
familiarize you with a typical setup procedure. We
recommend following this setup guide during your first
attempts at programming, as it will familiarize you with
the available functions and how flight modes operate.
Later you can customize this setup, adding more flight
modes, changing function locations, etc. to meet your
specific needs and preferences.
Flap trim
(throttle stick) to be active in all flight modes. This is the
setup I personally use and believe this program offers a
great base for sailplane pilots to develop their own setups
from.
