Programming the flap control
The "Activating the flap control" section (above) shows how to activate the flap control
symbol and subsequently reach the menu behind it. Corresponding to the configurations
for motor and (electric) glider models specified there, we go into more detail on this
complex subject here, using the same model examples. These two fundamentally
different configurations can be transferred to almost every similar model – at least in
principle.
In order to avoid getting terms mixed up: Ailerons and flaps move up and down as
desired (start/thermal/speed/aileron deflections), whereas spoilers only move in one
direction. Airbrakes extend from the top and/or bottom of the wing and, just like the
spoilers, have one end point for retracted and one for extended. For all flap types,
individual intermediate positions are permitted. Ailerons can support the effect of the
flaps, and flaps can additionally increase the effect of the ailerons.
Motor model with four-flap wing (FunCub XL)
With a motor model, the ailerons are not generally paired with the inner flaps, as the
latter are usually only used to increase the lift at takeoff and as an "airbrake" when
landing. Flaps on the elevator or hydroplane are required as a single mix here, so that
the model maintains its flight attitude in every flap position. Flaps generally achieve
increased lift when extended down, which must then be compensated for with (a lot of)
hydroplane. This compensation
must
be made via your WINGSTABI (and may under
no circumstances be made via the transmitter itself).
