Up to7 segments can be adjusted either via straight lines or smooth curves, depending on the selected option. Right side of the screen Depicts a visual aid to assist the user during programming. CAUTION: Beware of the lift bleeding effect (when using a negative setting) during high speed exit out of a dive, as the reduced/reversed lift will make the airplane slip (drift), this may result in a high speed collision with the ground. - Page 93 To counter this some elevator can be mixed in, to reduce the work load of the pilot. The mix can be separately programed for each deflection direction, and on models fitted with two elevator surfaces/halves.
