GENERAL NOTES
•Models are hazardous when operated and maintained incorrectly.
•Always install and operate a radio control system correctly.
•Always pilot a model so the model is ept under control in all
conditions.
•Please see help from an experienced pilot or your local hobby
store.
•Contact local or regional modeling organizations for guidance and
instructions about flying in your area.
•When wor ing with a model, always power on the transmitter first
and power off the transmitter last.
•After a model is bound to a transmitter and the model is set up in
the transmitter, always bind the model to the transmitter again to
establish failsafe settings.
PILOT SA ETY
•Always ma e sure all batteries are fully charged before flying.
•Time flights so you can fly safely within the time allotted by your
battery.
•Perform a range chec of the transmitter and the model before
flying the model.
•Ma e sure all control surfaces correctly respond to transmitter
controls before flying.
•Do NOT fly a model near spectators, par ing areas or any other
area that could result in injury to people or damage to property.
•Do NOT fly during adverse weather conditions. Poor visibility,
wind, moisture and ice can cause pilot disorientation and/or loss of
control of a model.
•When a flying model does not respond correctly to controls, land
the model and correct the cause of the problem.

With the new DX8 sailplane AirWare™ firmware update, the
Spe trum™ DX8 DSMX® transmitter now features full sailplane support
for the discerning sailplane pilot. Fully configurable to accommodate 4
servo wings, V-tails, and up to 4 flight modes; setting up your
sophisticated sailplane has never been easier! You'll have the flexibility
to set up your flap/airbra e/crow functions differently for each flight
mode, and its built-in Camber system enables you to have full camber
control from the throttle stic or auxiliary nob. Common mixing such as
Aileron to Flap, Aileron to Rudder, and Elevator to Flap is simple and
straight forward, plus setting differential for the Ailerons and Flap in
each flight mode is easy. There are 6 free programmable mixes
available and even a Flap to Elevator mix that features a 5-point curve.
Whatever configuration you are comfortable with for your high-
performance sailplane, the new DX8 sailplane AirWare update has
options to suit your needs.
BE ORE USING YOUR TRANSMITTER:
Before going any further, visit the Spe trum Community website at community.spe trumrc.com to register your transmitter and download the latest
AirWare firmware updates.

Camber System
Camber System is only available when 2 aileron wing type is selected in Wing Type. The Camber System allows in-flight camber
adjustment and is also used as the bra ing system, often referred to as Crow or Butterfly. The Camber System enables you to
assign the Camber System to the Spoiler Stic , right or left trimers or the Right Knob for each flight mode.
SAIL Mixing
For each of these mixes, you can program each flight mode with different mix values or at 0% if no mix is desired for that specific flight mode.
Programming values include independent control of the direction and the amount a slave surface moves in relationship to the master surface.
Aileron to Rudder
The Aileron to Rudder mix is a commonly used for coordinated turns. When active, as aileron is applied the rudder moves in the same
direction as the turn (right aileron input results in right rudder output).
Aileron to Flap
The Aileron to Flap mix allows the entire trailing edge of the wing (aileron and flap) to operate
as ailerons. When active, as aileron is applied the flaps also move. Always program the
flaps to move in the same direction as the turn (so that right aileron is equivalent to flaps
moving as right ailerons).
Elevator to Flap
Elevator to Flap mix creates more lift, allowing a tighter turn by applying down flap with up
elevator. An offset is provided which is typically used for Snap Flaps. With Snap Flap, no
Elevator to Flap mix occurs until the offset value is reached. Typically this offset is at 70%
up elevator so that beyond 70% the down flap mix comes in, providing additional lift for
more aggressive turning (for tight thermals or racing turns).
Flap to Elevator
Flap to Elevator mix prevents pitch up tendency that occurs when bra es (Crow or Butterfly)
are applied. This mix is typically used only with the bra e system (See Camber system).
This mix operates as a curve, so that the elevator typically moves down most during the first
20% of flap deployment, decreases over the next 40% then remains the same from 60 to
100% of flap travel.
Differential
The Differential function decreases the amount an aileron moves down
without affecting the amount the other aileron moves up. This can
decrease adverse yaw (right or left movement of the aircraft nose)
tendencies during roll maneuvers. Positive (+) and negative (-)
differential is available; however, normally more up (+) aileron travel is
required than down (-). Assign a switch to enable differential values during
flight or select "On" so that differential is always enabled.
