•
Inversely proportional to
THROTTLE STICK
: provides a proportional increase in amount of airbrake action as
THROTTLE STICK is lowered (when
SWITCH A
(assignable) is in down position). Includes selectable stick position
where airbrake begins. If you would like to have the airbrake be directly proportional to throttle stick, you will need
to reverse the THR-REV function. Note that this changes the throttle stick direction for all models. See page 26 for
instructions.

Point 2:

Delayed reaction:
You can suppress sudden changes in your model's attitude when
BUTTERFLY
is activated by setting the

Twin aileron servos:
If
AIL-DIFF
function is inhibited, then
AIL1
and
AIL2
settings will have no effect.
• If
AIL-DIFF
is active, then CH1 and CH7 may be independently adjusted.
• Normally both ailerons are raised equally in
BUTTERFLY
, 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
BUTTERFLY
. Along with creating an enormous amount
of drag (desireble 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
