User Manual

Wing TYPE – Wing Type (Wing Configuration, V-tail, Dual Primary Channels, Twin Engine)
The Wing Type function provides for 3 different wing types (NORMAL, FLAPERON, and
DELTA). NORMAL is used when the Aileron channel is the only channel to be used to control
ailerons, either with 1 servo, or 2 servos connected through a Y-harness to the aileron channel. It
is also used when the aircraft is equipped with flaps that are separate from the ailerons.
FLAPERON is typically used when ailerons are controlled by separate servos that are on
separate channels and there are no other flaps on the aircraft. DELTA is used when the ailerons
are used as both ailerons and elevators (Elevons) on an aircraft with a delta wing configuration.
The Wing Type function also accommodates aircraft that have a V-Tail configuration where the
2 elevators are used for both elevator and rudder control. It also provides for instructing the
transmitter to use one or more auxiliary channels as a 2nd or Dual channel for primary flight
controls (AILE, ELEV, RUDD, FLAP). Finally, the Wing Type function contains the Twin
Engine (Twin E) feature which allows for setting up a 2
nd
throttle channel for a second engine,
complete with its own trim and throttle curves – an excellent feature for twin-engine aircraft!
This is a very important function because a large number of sport and aerobatic aircraft use 2
servos and 2 channels to operate the ailerons, providing redundancy and the opportunity to
utilize aileron differential to make rolls more axial and to couple flaps with elevator for very
tight looping maneuvers and 3D flying. Unless the aircraft has separate flaps in addition to
ailerons, the FLAPERON wing type should be used here as all of the mixing is accomplished
automatically by the transmitter. Setting the wing type to FLAPERON also makes available the
Aileron Differential and Elevator-to-Flap mixing functions in the FUNCTION List (described
later). If the aircraft has flaps that are separate from the ailerons then use the NORMAL wing
type and use the Dual Channel feature to enable a 2
nd
aileron channel if Dual aileron channels are
desired.
The Wing TYPE function is obtained by selecting Wing TYPE in the SYSTEM Menu.
