FLAPERON AND SPOILERON MIXING:
Plugging the servos separately into the receiver (one into channel 1 and one into channel 6) will allow the use of flaperons
(both ailerons down at the same time) and spoilerons (both ailerons up at the same time). These functions can then be
mixed with the elevator for extreme pitch changes useful in more extreme aerobatic maneuvers.
Elevator:
1" Up
and Spoilerons (up) 1/4"
Elevator:
1" Down
and Flaperons (down) 1/4"
IMPORTANT
Use of more than 1/4" of flaperons and spoilerons will cause excessive drag, negating any of their useful
effects. We do not recommend using flaperon and spoileron to elevator mixing during general sport flying, especially
during takeoff and landing.
SECTION 16: COMPUTER RADIO SETUP
Although you don't have to use a computer radio to enjoy the flying qualities of the Live Wire EP, if you're planning on
doing extreme aerobatics, it is recommended. Before making any adjustments, please read and understand your radio's
setup manual.
Chances are that if you want to set up your Live Wire EP with a computer radio to take advantage of mixing capabilities, you
probably want an extreme flying machine. In that case, use the Aerobatic Flying control throws listed below.
EXPONENTIAL:
Expo, as it's more commonly referred to, softens the control feel around neutral. This is especially helpful when flying an
airplane that uses a lot of control throw. Softening the neutral point makes the airplane fly more smoothly and makes it
more likely that you won't over-control. Obviously, you may want to change the expo settings to suit your flying style, but
here are some good starting points:

The Aerobatic Flying control surface throws are our preferences. The airplane flies very well using them; however, these
recommendations are not set in stone. Feel free to make adjustments to suit your flying style. Have fun experimenting, but
remember, as you continue to increase the control throws, the airplane becomes extremely responsive!
