SD-10G AERO
Procedure for obtaining four different In-Flight Selectable Flight Modes using the SD-10G
Transmitter for controlling the Fun-Fly Ultra Stick type model with dual Flaps and
Ailerons.
Normal: No Mixing
Flight Mode 1: Takeoff, with Flaps in Down Position
Flight Mode 2: Elevator to Flap Mixing. Up Elevator causes the Flaps to go Down.
Down Elevator causes the Flaps to go UP.
Flight Mode 3: Aileron to Flap Mixing. Flaps work in the same direction as
the Ailerons.
Flight Mode 4: Crow. Ailerons go UP, Flaps go Down, with Flaps responding
to Aileron commands with Flap to Elevator Compensation.
NOTE: Prior to programming your SD-10G for a specific model, Use MODEL SELECT, to select a
specific AERO model as shown on page 29 of your instruction manual. BIND and set the SAFETY
LINK as indicated on page 21 of your instruction manual. The SAFETY LINK should match the
