Radio System FAQ
How do I know which glider type to select for my particular model?
Basically, the model type names represent the smallest number of servos which would effectively be used to operate this type of wing configuration. So, for example, while it is called a 5-servo glider wing, the wing may have as many as 8 servos on board.
2-servo glider: this wing has ailerons and airbrakes (spoilers). Typically this wing would actually have 3 servos installed, to allow for use of the aileron differential (ADF) and flaperon (FPN) functions and other mixes you may create to couple airbrake and flaperon (FPN) movement.
4-servo glider: this wing has ailerons, airbrakes (spoilers) and speed flaps. Typically this wing would actually have 5 servos installed, allowing full span aileron, full span flaps, etc.
5-servo glider: this wing has ailerons, speed flaps, brake flaps (small, very inboard flaps) and airbrakes (spoilers). Typically this wing would have 6 servos installed, allowing aileron-to-speed flap (ASF), brake flap mixing, brake flap to aileron mixing, etc.
