… and if you wish to be able to defl ect both ailerons up 
using the throttle / brake stick (Ch 1), then a suitable 
value should be entered in the “Brake

In principle the same applies to the “Brake 
¼ FL” line, 
which also becomes available if you have selected “2AIL 
2FL”, although the set value should cause the fl aps to 
defl ect as far as possible in the downward direction 
when the brake stick is operated. It is important to en-
sure that the servos do not strike their mechanical end-
stops. To achieve this, you may need to limit the servo 
travel(s) for the servos concerned using the “TRAVEL-” 
or “TRAVEL+” line on the “RX SERVO” display page of 
the “Telemetry” menu.
If the ailerons are set up to act as simple brakes, as de-
scribed previously, or as part of the braking arrangement 
in a butterfl y (crow) system, then you should always 
enter a value for “Diff.-Red.” (“differential reduction” - 
see page 93) - selecting 100% is the safe option here!
Differential reduction means that aileron differential is 
suppressed proportionally only when you operate the 
airbrake stick. The purpose of this is to increase the 
down-going aileron travel on the landing approach, with 
the aim of improving aileron response.
If the wing is equipped with two camber-changing fl ap 
servos in addition to two separately actuated ailerons, 
then the “AIL 
¼ FL” (aileron ¼ fl ap) mixer transfers 
the aileron movements to the fl aps; we suggest that the 
fl aps should not follow the movement of the ailerons to a 
greater extent than about 50%.
Note:
If you have only installed one fl ap servo, you should 
leave this mixer at 0%.
The “FL 
¼ AIL” (fl ap ¼ aileron) mixer works in the 
opposite direction; depending on the layout of the model 
we suggest values between about 50% and 100% for 
this option. The fl aps are controlled using the transmitter 
control or switch assigned to the input “E6”. Preferably, 
however, one of the rotary proportional controls (CTRL 7 
or 8) should be used for this.
Note:
We strongly recommend that you reduce the travel of 
the fl aps to about 25% in the “Transmitter control 
settings
” menu, as this gives fi ner control of the fl ap 
positions using the selected transmitter control.
The remaining options in the “Fixed-wing mixers” menu 
are designed to provide further fi ne-tuning of multi-fl ap 
wing systems, and are largely self-explanatory.
When you have completed the model-specifi c settings 
up to this point, you are probably ready to consider the 
model’s fi rst fl ight. At this juncture you should certainly 
take the time to carry out a series of “dry runs”, i. e. 
check all the settings thoroughly while the model is still 
on the ground. Remember that a serious programming 
error may damage more than just the model. If you are 
not sure of any point, please ask an experienced model 
pilot for advice.
If during the test phase you realise that one or other of 
the settings needs to be changed in order to tailor the 
model’s control response to your preferences - perhaps 
the servo travels are too great or too small overall - then 
we suggest that you turn to the …

… in order to adjust the overall set-up to suit your 
requirements and fl ying style.
The Dual Rate function is used to adjust the relationship 
between stick travel and control surface travel (see page 
82). However, if it is only the model’s control response 
around neutral which is too powerful for comfortable 
fl ying, i. e. the maximum travels are acceptable, then 
“Exponential” can be employed, either instead of Dual 
Rates or in addition to them. If a physical switch is as-
signed to this function, you can switch between two Dual 
Rate / Expo settings while the model is fl ying.
