SAIL Mixing
For each of these mixes, you can program each ight mode with
different mix values or at 0% if no mix is desired for that speci c
ight mode. Programming values include independent control of
the direction and 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). If you assign the
ight mode to a switch, a Sub Switch option allows you to assign
an additional switch to activate up to 3 Aileron to Rudder mixes for
that ight mode.
Aileron to Flap
The Aileron to Flap mix
allows the entire trailing
edge of the wing (aileron
and ap) to operate as
ailerons. When the mix
is active, the aps move
with the ailerons.
Elevator to Flap
Elevator to Flap mix
creates additional lift,
allowing a tighter turn.
The entire trailing edge
of the wing (aileron
and ap) operate as
aps (camber increase)
when you apply 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 ap 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 you apply Crow
or Butter y. This mix is
typically used only with
the Camber System. The
Flap to Elevator mix operates as a curve so that the elevator moves
down the most during the rst 20% of ap deployment, decreases
over the next 40%, then remains the same from 60 to 100% of
ap travel.
For sailplanes with ailerons/tips/ aps, make sure an appropriate
Sailplane Type is selected so that tips appear in the transmitter as
RAIL and LAIL. Decrease or increase travel on the tip ailerons by
creating an AIL > RAIL mix.
