elevator trim lever in flight can be set to adjust the aileron and elevator settings in your airbrake rather than
adjusting the model's actual aileron and elevator trim. This allows easy adjustment for any ballooning while
in flight. When the airbrake switch is moved to off the trim is again adjusting the normal elevator trim.
• Channels controlled: Elevator, twin ailerons and flap may be set independently in AIRBRAKE, including
set to 0 to have no effect.
• If FLAPERON is active, the travel of the ailerons can be independently adjusted for the servos plugged into
CH1 and CH6. The flap choice has no effect on the FLAPERON.
• If AIL-DIFF is active, then CH1 and CH7 may be independently adjusted.
• Normally both ailerons are raised equally in AIRBRAKE, and the elevator motion is set to maintain trim
when the ailerons rise. Different amounts may be set for each aileron to correct for torque reactions and other
unique characteristics of the model.
Be sure you understand what dropping ailerons will do when in AIRBRAKE BUTTERFLY. Along with
creating an enormous amount of drag (desirable for spot landings), this also creates "wash-in", a higher angle
of attack where the ailerons are, and encourages tip stalling.
If you are using this for aerobatic performance and not "sudden stops", consider raising the ailerons and
dropping the flaps instead as shown in the diagram above.
