SAMPLE AIRPLANE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Airplane Section

The

following example shows how the PCM

1024Z may be programmed for a pattern airplane. The settings presented here are for a typical model. Your model's settings are likely to vary from these, but the procedures given will still be applicable.

1. Model Selection

Use the Model Select function MSL to select a vacant model memory (or one you don't mind erasing) and choose the AIRPLANE Setup using the Type TYP

function from Model menu.

2. Name The New Model Rename the model using the Model Name MNA

function in the model menu. Switch to the Condition

CND

(we recommend NORM L). Later you may add other flight conditions, which may also be named to make them easier to identify.

3. Activate Special Mixing Activate Flaperon

ADF choose one; both require two aileron servos). FPN is suggested since it can accommodate differential through end point adjustments, and has Flap mixing. The Flap mixing is used to have the ailerons behave as flaps as well, which can be used to make tighter loops and squarer corners in maneuvers. Use ALV to get elevators that act as ailerons (two servos are required for ALV function). You need not adjust the throws and mixing ratios at this time.

4. Reset Control Order If necessary, reset the Control Order using the

Function Control may choose what sticks and sliders control the different functions. If you use the ALV function, move the retrac t operation to another switch, perhaps CH7 orCH8.

5. Connect Servos Plug Servos into Correct Channel Numbers

7. Adjust Servo Throws Check the proper direction of throw for each

servo. Use Reversing Function menu to set proper throw directions for each servo. Double check that each servo moves the proper direction.

8. Limit Servo Throws Now use the ATV function to limit servo throws.

The travel of the ailerons should be limited to roughly 10—12° maximum in both directions with the ATV function. Repeat for elevator. Adjust rudder lateral motion to about ±45°. Be sure that no servo "bottoms out" at maximum control throw. After setting maximum throws, ATV is rarely used. Instead use AFR in the different flight modes.

9. Changing The Control Feel If you would like to soften the control feel for

ailerons, use the AFR menu. Press the then the rate of -15% to -25%. E X2 is used for throttle only.

10. Set Flaperon Throws Now go back to the FPN (Flaperon) menu. Set

differential by limiting the down aileron throws on both sides. The down throw should be set between 70% and 95% of the up throw. This setting depends on the individual model and its particular flight character-

istics, so make changes after flight testing. Be sure that the flap mixing settings are the same (default is ±100%).

Move to the E->F menu to set up how much the ailerons move due to elevator. Approximately 1030% up and down mixing should be used (be sure that up elevator causes the ailerons to drop, and down elevator raises the ailerons up). The amount of aileron droop at neutral elevator may be set with the A knob. You may adjust this travel by adjusting the trim rate — it can be set to zer o to prevent accidental changes (be

sure this knob is zeroed before resetting subtrims). Using the to turn the elevator-flaperon mixing on and off.

Flight Conditions Switching

If yo u li ke, you may set up the system to call up more than one function or switch to a new set of trims or control settings simultaneously by moving a single switch. You can have different subtrims, coupling, differential, exponentials, and throw volumes. In fact you may change EVERY parameter between flight modes.

We recommend that you fly the model and adjust trims and control responses to your liking before defining another flight condition. Any bad tendencies may be corrected with custom programmable mix settings a new flight condition, where they may be modified for the new desired conditions. After copying you may add new functions as necessary.

Volume Setting

Some functions can have their mixing ratio vary with the motion of another slider or knob: use the VOL key O to get to this choice (for example, see AD F) . Move the selected control to determine how it affects the mix. You can also add a time delay on many of the menus: look fo r a DELAY setting.

16. Programmable Mixers Up to five mixers are available in all flight condi-

tions. These may be used to enhance flight capabilities or to correct bad tendencies by adjusting mixing from one control to another. For example, you may use

Elevator->Flap coupling to tighten up the corners on square loops, Throttle->Rudder coupling to correct for torque tendencies, etc. There is no limit to the number of corrections that can be made.

Your PCM 1024Z system is filled with powerful,

predefined mixing functions. Be sure to browse through

the various function menus in the Aircraft section follow-

ing this example.

The switch that calls the flight conditions should

be selected. Return to the Condition Select function, press the desired flight condition number, and use the SWT button to choose the desired switch location. Once you have selected a condition, use the CNA (Condition NAme) button to label the new conditi on (yo u may have to flip the chosen switch to the correct position to get the desired condition). Now, you may go through the Condition menu items to get the desired settings in the new mode. Read the condition name after the model name to be sure you are changing the condition you want.

FLAPERONS

This function allows you to program the ailerons to work in the same direction, giving a flap response as well as aileron control (see figure).

For good square maneuvers, and landing, both

ailerons can be raised and lowered simultaneously.

While this function is on, regular aileron operation

is always present.

The Flaperon function requires two separate channels: Receiver CH1 (aileron 1/flap 2) and CH6 (aileron 2/flap 1) are the operating channels. The

Aileron 1 and Aileron 2 left and right deflection

angles can be adjusted independently, making it

easy to apply differential to the ailerons. With

differential, the up side travel is set to around 5% larger than the down travel.

Servo Throw Direction

Check the proper direction of throw for each servo. Use Reversing Function menu to set proper throw directions. Reverse channels as necessary to correct throws. Link the carburetor to the throttle servo so that the carb may be fully closed to shut off engine.

7 Flight Conditions Switching

You may set up the system to call up more than one function or switch to a new set of trims or control settings simultaneously by moving a single switch. This is very convenient f or loading different flight conditions such as Idle-up 1 IDL2

, and Throttle Hold normal flight condition. You may change EVERY parameter between flight modes.

We recommend that you fly the model and adjust

trims and control responses to your liking before

defining another flight condition. Then, as described

below, you will copy the set of adjustments to a new

flight condition (this will maintain all trim settings

between the different conditions), and define the

condition switches that activate them. Each may be modified for the new desired conditions, and you may add new functions as necessary.

Use the Condition Select Model Menu. The four flight conditions listed above have already been allocated. The position and ON direction of each flight condition call switch are set as follows:

The following settings assume a semi-symmetrical rotor blade with no twist. For the pitch curve, the initial LOW rate is 100% and the HI G H r at e is 100%. Set the maximum pitch angle in advance. The pitch

angle is -4° to +12°.

When setting the pitch angle, set the hovering

pitch lever and the HIGH side pitch lever to the center positions. These levers may be activated in flight to make adjustments. Next, input the data so that the normal pitch used in hovering becomes

-2.5° to+10° by LOW/HIGH side rate setting. Although unimportant in calm conditions, the

pitch angle should be set to that the High side pitch rate is large. This provides high collective sensitivity to help cope with windy conditions.

This manual refers to ailerons, speed flaps, and brake flaps. Here are the definitions of each: Ailerons are control surfaces located nearest the tips of the sailplane's wings. Speed flaps are controls that can move together (as flaps) or differentially (as ailerons), and are commonly found on most hi gh-performance models. Brake flaps move together only, and are used for landing. Brake fla ps are sometimes found on scale models. Additionally,

AlLERON DIFFERENTIAL (ADF)

Sailplane Section

This applies to all three sailplane types, 4-S, and 2-S. The aileron differential function is used to provide more deflection for the up aileron than for the down aileron. Depending on the model design, anywhere from 5 to 30% more up deflection is used. The up and down travel of each servo may be set separately. If desir ed, the amount of down aileron deflection may be trimmed in flight with a knob or trimmer.

ELEVATOR-BRAKE FLAP MIXING

This mixing is used to command the lowering of the brake flaps when up elevator is given. This coupling increases the lift that the wing can deliver, resulting in tighter turns and better maneuverability.

The mixing rates for elevator up and down deflections can be set independently (for many airfoils, down elevator to up flap mixing is not recommended because of a large drag increase). Mixing can be turned on and off during flight by setting a switch, and the amount of mixing may also be trimmed in flight by moving a volume

ditions. For example. Trim mix 1 could be set up for launching, with speed flaps and ailerons drooped, and a slight amount of up elevator. Trim mix 2 might be used for high speed flying, with both ailerons and speed flaps reflexed slightly, and a bit of

down elevator.

The Trim Mix functions can be activated during

flight by setting a switch (trim mix 2 has priority). To prevent sudden trim changes when switching flight conditions, a delay can be set to provide a smooth transition between the two. This might be used during launch, so the flaps don't suddenly come

to be the launch mode (use TM1), middle position is normal, and the upper position is used for the speed

settings (use TM2).

FLAP-ELEVATOR Mix

This function is used to compensate for trim

changes when flaps are deployed for slow flight or

landing by mixing in a small movement of elevator. The elevator should be adjusted to move only a small deflection amount: too much elevator can make the model difficult to control.

The amount of correction can be adjusted separately for both positive and negative flap inputs, and the neutral mixing position can be offset from the flap neutral position. Flap-to-elevator mixing can be turned on and off during flight by setting a switch, but if an ON/OFF switch is not set, it remains on all the time. The amount of mix-

ing can be changed by setting a volume con tr o l.

FLAPERON MIXING

This function allows you to program the ailerons to work in the same direction, giving a flap response as well as aileron control (see figure).

For good square maneuvers, and landing, both

ailerons can be rais ed and lowered simultaneously.

While this function is on, regular ailero n operation

is always present.

The Flaperon function requires two separate

channels: Receiver CH1 (aileron 1/flap 2) and CH5

(aileron 2/flap 1) are the operating channels. The

Aileron 1 and Aileron 2 left and right deflection angles can be adjusted independently making it easy to apply differential to the ailerons. With differential, the up side travel is set to around 5%

larger than the down travel.
