NTRODUCTION 1.1 D ESCRIPTION DLG is a full feature template for four-servo DLGs. It is quick to set up, yet fully customisable. Version 2.4 offers much easier setup for different transmitters. Specification: APPLICATION SNAPFLAP - For DLG gliders with two wing servos - Snapflap, preset per flight mode. -

The transmitter hardware (sticks, sliders etc.) must be properly calibrated, so calibrate now if in doubt. To perform a hardware calibration: 1. Open the RADIO SETUP menu and page to Hardware -> Calibration (Horus) or Calibration (Taranis) 2. Calibrate all sticks, knobs and sliders. -
Page 7: Assign Switches (New In 2.4)
3.3 A 2.4) SSIGN SWITCHES NEW IN Switches SwMom, SwFM and SwTherm2 are ‘soft’ to cater for different transmitters. The real (physical) switches are assigned in the I menu, via the Source field. NPUTS The table below shows the recommended physical switches for the FrSky X9D, RM Zorro and RM Pocket. If your transmitter is not on the list, please determine suitable switches on your transmitter before proceeding. -
Page 8: Calibrating The Outputs
ALIBRATING THE OUTPUTS In this section you will calibrate the outputs. This involves setting the rotation and operating range of the servos and equalising travels. 4.1 S ET SERVO ROTATION First, set the rotation of each servo: 1. Switch on the transmitter (do not power up the receiver yet) 2. - Page 9 Channel Calibration procedure CH 2 – Elevator CALibrate elevator. IMPORTANT: in CAL mode, the elevator moves in the opposite direction to normal. 1. Activate CAL mode 2. Open the OUTPUTS menu 3. Highlight the Ele channel (default CH2) 4. Go to the curve field ‘Ele’, press {long enter } to open curve editor 5.

Page 10: Configuring Travel And Mixers
As the trim is moved from left to right, the amount of Diff decreases thus increasing the roll rate – think of the trim as a roll rate adjuster! The minimum diff is -30%, allowing down-travel to exceed up-travel as is required for some DLG setups. The range of diff adjustment can be changed (see section 7.5). -
Page 11: Superdiff (Gv:sdf→Fm4)
5.6 S →FM4) UPERDIFF Superdiff is an optional adjustment which may improve roll response under braking. As the brakes are applied, the travel of the rising aileron (in response to a roll command) is gradually increased by the amount that you specify. Try a small amount first, as too much can adversely affect handling. -
Page 12: Zoom Safe Exit
6.2 Z Zoom Safe Exit prevents the brakes from suddenly deploying when exiting Zoom mode. If the stick is away from the home position when you exit Zoom mode, a warning sounds. The brakes will remain retracted, and the next lower priority flight mode will be selected (Cruise, Thermal1, Thermal2, or Speed). The brake stick will be active again after it’s returned to the home position. -
Page 13: Reversing The Brake Stick
7.3 R EVERSING THE BRAKE STICK By default, zero brake is with the throttle stick forward. To reverse the stick: 1. Open the MIXER menu 2. Go to CH23:RawBr Go to the Curve field, and change the curve from CV9:Thr to CV9:!Thr (note leading ‘!’). 7.4 L AUNCH HEIGHT ANNOUNCEMENT If you have ALT telemetry, you can enable the announcement of launch height. -
