RUDDER—AILERON
(R->A)
Rudder to aileron coupling may be used for
correcting unwanted tendencies with aerobatic
planes. For example, this mixing can be used to
cancel out any rolling that occurs during knife
edge
flight.
The
rates
for
left
and
right
rudder
travel can be set independently. Mixing can be set
to be turned on and off during flight by setting a
switch (if no ON/OFF switch is set, mixing re-
mains on all the time).

Setting the Mixing Ratio - Left and Right
You now set the amount of mixing for Left rudder
command. Press the C key to activate mixing ratio for
the Left direction and set the value with the numeric keys
E to M
The number keys 0 through 100 input the
value directly. The + and - keys increase or decrease
the value by 1. The +/- key may be used to reverse the
throw direction.
If you are not sure what you are changing, hold the
stick to one side and press different keys — if there is no
effect, move the rudder stick to the other side and con-
tinue. Your setting may vary from -100 to +100%, the
initial value is -50%.
Now set the amount of mixing for the Right rudder
command. Press the D key to activate mixing ratio for
the Right direction and set the throw with the numeric
keys as before.
On/Off Switch Setting
On initial setting, an activation switch for rudder to
aileron coupling is not set, meaning that once activated, it
is on all the time. If you would like to set a switch to turn
it on and off, call the Switch Setting screen by pressing
the
SWT P
key. Then use the keys to choose the
desired switch location and on direction. For more infor-
mation on the switch setting method, see page 37).
