  • Page 5 Launch Preset At launch, to rotate the DLG up use some elevator up input using the bind button. Launch preset is setup in the "Mixing" menu. Select an available mix and assign AX2 to mix with ELE. The rate is adjusted at the field according to your preference.

Adjust accordingly. Do try playing around with the rates as it may differ from model to model. Flap/Elevator Mix After the flaperons have been setup, the elevator needs to compensate to prevent the DLG from ballooning up when the air brakes are activated.
