[RCSE] 9303 camber program question

2005-02-23 Thread TGRESSMAN
My soaring buddy and I have had difficulty in setting up camber using the left side lever. In order to get the ailerons and flaps to move in unison we find that 150% of down aileron is required. We then use flap rate and flaperon mix. Are we missing a key step here that would simplify

I see and read of a number of people who ask about camber control on a slider. I used to use sliders for camber also but I've changed to the 3-position switch on the upper left of my TX. My question is: Why use a slider when the plane responds best at 2 specific locations for camber/reflex? I

Hi Tom I haven't used a slider for camber control in over 10 years (since the Airtronics Vision). For a given angle of attack there is only one flap setting that will result in minimum drag, be it positive camber for high AOA or negative camber (reflex) for lower AOA's. Airfoils obviously

The travel amounts vary with the linkage setups. If you find that the ailerons don't move enough for equal travel across the flaps and ailerons, you should increase the aileron travel (both up and down) and then use the dual rate settings to reduce the total aileron travel off the stick so

On the 10X, I like camber on the right slider (full slider travel sets appropriate camber - no guessing at midpoints) because I can instantly tell by feel whether camber is set. Don't have to move my thumbs off the sticks, or worry about bumping the wrong switch. Reflex is on the left slider

The 150% down required is in travel adjust. The proper amount of up and down is then done with differential. I keep thinking there is an easier way on the 9303, therefore the question posted on the exchange. Tom

Thanks Mike for the response. We get the travel by going to 150% down on the travel adjust with the ailerons and then using differential to get the proper up and down. We just thought that theremay bean easier way with the 9303. Are you using the left slider to get camber? If so exactly what is
