How do I set up the 9C for a Delta (flying) wing with Dual rudders? Can I use the dual rudders as airbrake?

Setting up a Delta wing with dual rudders.

  1. Set the Elevons in CH1 and CH2 and activate the mix in your radio. (Page 48 in manual)

  2. Plug the rudder into CH4 for rudder 1 and CH6 for rudder 2. (If you are using a separate nose wheel servo plug that into CH7)

  3. In the advance menu (page 44 in manual) to set the dual rudders
    • Open PMIX 1
    • On the second page set the mix to active (OFF or ON)
    • Make the MASTER Rudder
    • Make the SLAVE CH6
    • Set the LINK and TRIM to on
    • Set the SWITCH to any switch and the POSITION to null
    • Set the percentage to 100%. (-100% if the servos are mounted opposite to one another).

  4. Open PMIX 2 to set the airbrake
    • Set the mix to active (OFF or ON)
    • Set the MASTER to OFST
    • Set the Slave to RUDDER
    • Set the link to OFF
    • Set the Switch To the desired switch for airbrake activation in the position desired
    • Set the percentage to how much you want the servo plugged in channel 4 to move out upon airbrake application.

  5. Open PMIX 3 to set the airbrake
    • Set the mix to active (OFF or ON)
    • Set the MASTER to OFST
    • Set the Slave to CH6 (FLAP)

    • Set the link to OFF
