Lightbulb Elevator comp on Butterfly Mix - 18SZ

Hi,

I have programmed Butterfly function on my 18SZ using the J2 stick.
Up --> no Butterfly
Down --> Full Butterfly

I have a problem to understand how to program Elevator compensation on this Mixing.
I see Rate1 & Rate 2 and also the possibility to use a curve.

Can you explain how to program elevator compensation ?

Regards

In the Butterfly mixer, you add the amount of elevator you need to make the model fly as desired. Since moving the Butterfly control changes smoothly, you can have the elevator either operate on a fixed percentage or have it mixed in based upon curve values. You fly the model and determine how much elevator you need. Adjust the mixing percentage in the mixer and try again. After a few flights, you'll have the value you want.

Cool

Thank you for your answer BAX.
But I know how Elevator Comp works.
The question was not to understand how it works but on how to implement it on 18 SZ

I think I have found the solution, but I have to verify it on my glider.
