Launch (Start) Offset (START OFS) (GLID1FLAP/GLID2FLAP only): The Start function is used to offset the aileron,
•
elevator, and flap servos to the position that provides maximum lift during launch. Normally the ailerons and flaps
are drooped about 20-30, with the flaps drooped slightly more to prevent tip-stalling on tow. The elevator can also
be offset in order to trim out any pitch changes caused by the flap and aileron presets.
Adjustability:

•

MIX: START OFS mixing rate trim operation while mixing is on.
Separate adjustments for each aileron and flap servo (two flap settings for GLID2FLAP) and for elevator.

•
•
Optional assignable dial (VR) to adjust all 4 wing servos in unison, 1% at a time, across all 4 servos in flight.
*During Launch Offset operation, the aileron and elevator travels are displayed on each trim display in the Startup
screen.

Each Aileron: 50%.
Each Flap: 100%.
Elevator: -5% to compensate.
