Aileron to Rudder
TheAilerontoRuddermixiscommonlyusedforcoordinatedturns.
When active, as aileron is applied the rudder moves in the same

option allows you to assign an additional switch to activate up to 3

For sailplanes with ailerons/tips/flaps, make sure an appropriate
Sailplane Type is selected so that tips appear in the transmitter as
RAIL and LAIL. Decrease or increase travel on the tip ailerons by
creatinganAIL>RAILmix.

The V-Tail Differential screen enables you to increase or decrease
the amount of differential between control surface throws.
Positive Differential values decrease the amount of “down” travel
without affecting the “up” travel on the opposite control surface.
Negative Differential values decrease the amount of “up” travel
without affecting the amount of “down” travel on the opposite
control surface.
The V-Tail Differential menu option only appears when V-Tail A or
V-Tail B is active in Aircraft Type.
To adjust the V-Tail Differential:
1. Scroll to Switch and press the scroll wheel. Scroll right to
selectOn(Differentialisalwayson)orassignthedifferentialto
