P r og r a mm i ng a 6 -C h a nn e l Sa il p l a n

This section has been adapted for the PCM9X II from
the Programming a 6-Channel Sailplane section by
Engineering Manager John Adams in the XP9303
manual.
The PCM9X II offers tremendous flexibility allowing
nearly infinite setup options. Five flight modes are
available that allow virtually every parameter to be
independently adjusted in each flight mode. Camber
adjustment, landing flaps, motor control, flight modes
w
ith all their options, programmable mixes, dual rates
and even the two timers can be programmed to several
different levers and/ or switches, allowing personal
customization preferences.
Following is a step-by-step programming guide that will
familiarize you with a typical setup procedure. We
recommend following this setup guide during your first
attempts at programming, as it will familiarize you with
the available functions and how flight modes operate.
Later you can customize this setup, adding more flight
modes, changing function locations, etc. to meet your
specific needs and preferences.

The following setup utilizes three flight modes (Launch,
Cruise and Land), which are selected using the left 3-
position switch on the face of the transmitter. Trailing
edge camber adjustment will be assigned to the left side
lever in the launch and cruise mode. Butterfly
(landing flaps) will be assigned to the spoiler stick
(throttle stick) to be active in all flight modes. This is the
setup I personally use and believe this program offers a
great base for sailplane pilots to develop their own setup
s
from.

N o t e on i ns t a lli ng f l a p s e r vos : Typical flap geometry
requires that the servo arms be significantly offset to
provide adequate down flap throw. This issue exists
because flaps typically have a large travel down (80 to
90 degrees) but very little up travel (less than 15
degrees). To achieve proper flap travel, it is necessary
that the right flap sub trim is set at 225 down and the
left flap sub trim is set at 225 up as a starting point.
Then when installing the flap servo arms, be sure the
spoiler stick is in the up position and camber lever is in
the middle position. Install the flap servo horns such that
they are angled approximately 30 degrees toward the
trailing edge (if the flaps have the control horn on the
bottom of the flap) or 30 degrees toward the leading edge
(if the flap control horn is on top of the flap) then adjust
the flap linkage such that the flaps are level. See Sub
Trim below for more details.

Channel Assignment
I m po r t a n t : In glider mode, the channel assignment
(servo lead positions in the receiver) of the PCM9X II is
different than previous JR radios. This new channel
assignment has two important advantages:
• It allows a 6-channel receiver to be used to control the
6 functions commonly found on full function
Sailplanes.
• It locates commonly mixed channels, like right and left
ailerons, right and left flaps, rudder and elevator for
(V-tail), next to each other in the data stream
minimizing synchronizing delay issues. Install the
servos in the correct location in the receiver per the
chart and illustration below.

down flap throw. This issue exists because flaps
typically have a large travel down (80 to 90
degrees) but very little travel up (less than 15
degrees). To achieve proper flap travel, it is
necessary that the right flap sub trim be set at 225
down and the left flap sub trim be set at 225 up as a
starting point. Then when attaching the flap servo
arms be sure the spoiler stick is in the up position
and camber lever is in the middle position. Install the
flap
servo horns such that they are angled
approximately 30% toward the trailing edge, then
adjust the flap linkage such that the flaps are level.

On most sailplanes, deploying flaps causes the aircraft
to pitch up. This pitching is non-linear and typically the
airplane pitches up dramatically the first 25% of flap
travel but becomes less dramatic during the 25% through
50% range, and very little additional up pitching occurs
from 75 to 100% flaps. The PCM9X II incorporates a
preprogrammed curve mix that mixes the spoiler stick
(landing flaps) to the elevator.
In FUNC.LIST rotate the Selector until PROG Mix1 is
highlighted. Press the Selector to access the
Programmable mix 1 spoiler-to-elevator curve mix.
Rotate the Selector to highlight the desired point then

ing-up Flight Modes
Up to this point we have established the foundational
programming that will be common to all flight modes.
Now we will focus on the specifics of setting up each
individual flight mode.
We will be individually programming the following
parameters for each of the selected flight
modes(Launch, Cruise, Land).
• Dual and Exponential rates for Aileron, Elevatorand
Rudder
•Set
t
ing preset positions for the Camber, Flaperon and
Elevator
• Elevator-to-Flap Mixes
• Aileron-to-Flap Mixes
• Aileron Differential
• Flight Mode Delay
• Camber Adjustment
• Aileron-to-Rudder Mixes
• Spoiler-to-Elevator Curve Mix (elevator
compensation)
Launch Mode Setup
In Step #8, Establishing Flight Modes, flight modes
w
ere programmed to operate from the left front 3-
position switch. To select Launch mode, the left 3-
position switch must be moved in the up position. In the
main (info) screen LAUNCH will appear in the upper
portion of the display when Launch mode is selected.
When making programming changes/adjustments in
Launch mode, this 3-position switch must remain in the
upper position during the process to allow the results of
those ad
j
ustments to be seen on the model.
Step #16 Launch P
r
e-se
t
s
The PCM9X II offers a sophisticated program that
allows easy preset trim positions for the elevator, flaps,
flaperons (and even the aileron and rudder if you choose).
The
system can remain active in flight,
allowing you to fine trim presets in each flight mode or
can be locked in so they cannot be altered in flight. Fligh
t
mode presets are automatically selected via the flight
mode switch and are adjusted with the digital elevator
trim, the digital flap trim and the digital auxiliary trim
(flaperon). While the presets are adjusted via the digital
trims, their positions are recorded in the servo monitor.
To access the servo monitor, in FUNC. L IST rotate the
Selector until MONITOR is highlighted. Press the
Selector to access the Monitor menu then press the
Selector again to access the camber digital preset
screen. To adjust the presets move the flight mode
switch to the launch mode (up) position. Adjust the
preset positions via the flap trim, auxiliary trim and
elevator trim on the transmitter. The values will be
displayed in the screen and then will be memorized for
that flight mode. If you wish to have these preset values
be fixed (not active in flight) once the values are
established, return to the Trim Step screen in the system
mode and reduce the value of the desired channel to 0.
The preset values for all flight modes will be stored and
no longer accessible with the digital
trims.

Most pilots prefer to have variable camber adjustment
during cruise. This enables fine adjustments to be
made in flight-based conditions.
I m po r t a n t : The flaperon and elevator values in the
camber mix menu are based on a percentage of the
programmed
flap rate. The flap rates are defaulted
to 0% from the factory, so flaperon and elevator mix
values
have no effect until the flap rate values are
set. Because of this, it‘s mandatory to first adjust the
flap rates before adjusting the flaperon and elevator
camber mixes. Also remember that changing the
flap rate values also affects the flaperon and
elevator camber mix.
Flap Rate
In FUNC. L IST rotate the Selector until F L A P R A TE is
highlighted. Press the Selector to access the Flap Rate
menu. Rotate the Selector to highlight the cruise down
value then press the Selector to access this value. With
the flight mode switch in the middle cruise mode, move
the left side lever to the lowest position and adjust the
down value to the desired flap position. Now with the
flight mode switch in the middle cruise mode, move the
left side lever to the uppermost position and adjust the u

value to the desired flap position. Press the LIST button
to return to the Function Mode screen.
