Cessna170/ExtremeSetup

The Flex Innovation Team's Cessna 170 Extreme Setup alters the flap behavior and adjusts other elements to allow the Cessna 170 to do maneuvers well beyond those of it's full-scale counterpart, even into the '3D' realm. The Aura 8 and its powerful capability is a key part of this capability. It allows the Flaps to be reconfigured with the flip of a switch from 'conventional flaps', to 'prop blasted' ailerons with gyro enhanced stability.

---

Typically, the key elements of the setup are:

• Modified flap linkage and geometry to allow the flaps to move up and down and to act as 'Ailerons', etc.
• A software change via downloaded Aura Config File (.acf) that activates the flaps as ailerons and includes gyro inputs in specific flight modes.
• Use of a 6S Battery (typically) for awesome power.

Below you will find conversion instructions and more detailed descriptions of the Aura Flight Modes (FM).
