Camber System

Camber System is only available when 2 aileron wing type is
selected in Wing Type. The Camber System allows in-flight
camber adjustment and is also used as the braking system,
often referred to as Crow or Butterfly. The Camber System
enables you to assign the Camber System to the Spoiler Stick,
right or left trimers or the Right Knob for each flight mode.

SAIL Mixing

For each of these mixes, you can program each flight mode with different mix values or at 0% if no mix is desired for that specific
flight mode. Programming values include independent control of the direction and the amount a slave surface moves in relationship
to the master surface.
Aileron to Rudder
The Aileron to Rudder mix is a commonly used for coordinated
turns. When active, as aileron is applied the rudder moves in
the same direction as the turn (right aileron input results in right
rudder output).
Aileron to Flap
The Aileron to Flap mix allows the entire trailing edge of the
wing (aileron and flap) to operate as ailerons. When active, as
aileron is applied the flaps also move. Always program the flaps
to move in the same direction as the turn (so that right aileron is
equivalent to flaps moving as right ailerons).
Elevator to Flap
Elevator to Flap mix creates more lift, allowing a tighter turn by
applying down flap with up elevator. An offset is provided which
is typically used for Snap Flaps. With Snap Flap, no Elevator
to Flap mix occurs until the offset value is reached. Typically
this offset is at 70% up elevator so that beyond 70% the down
flap mix comes in, providing additional lift for more aggressive
turning (for tight thermals or racing turns).
Flap to Elevator
Flap to Elevator mix prevents pitch up tendency that occurs
when brakes (Crow or Butterfly) are applied. This mix is typically
used only with the brake system (See Camber system). This mix
operates as a curve, so that the elevator typically moves down
most during the first 20% of flap deployment, decreases over the
next 40% then remains the same from 60 to 100% of flap travel.

Differential

The Differential function decreases the amount an aileron moves
down without affecting the amount the other aileron moves up.
This can decrease adverse yaw (right or left movement of the
aircraft nose) tendencies during roll maneuvers. Positive (+) and
negative (-) differential is available; however, normally more up
(+) aileron travel is required than down (-).
Assign a switch to enable differential values during flight or
select "On" so that differential is always enabled.
