Radio System FAQ

I want to use twin aileron servos (flaperons) with a 5 channel receiver, so my second servo must be plugged into channel 5 not channel 6. How do I do that?

This will require 2 steps.

  1. First you must go into parameters and tell it to look for your second aileron servo to be on channel 5/6 rather than 6 or 7, which is the normal place for the programming to look:
    a. Press the Mode Key (twice if needed) to open the Basic Menu
    b.Dial to Parameters and Press Dial
    c.Cursor Down to AIL-2
    d.Dial Left to CH5&6
    e.Press End twice to close

  2. Now you need to actually go activate flaperons.
    a.Press the Mode Key Twice to open Advance Menu
    b.Dial left to Flaperon and Press Dial to select
    c.Make the function active by Cursor Up once to Mix and Dial Left to ACT
    d.Adjust aileron rates to create differential if desired
    e.Adjust flap rates to decrease total flap travel of ailerons as flaperons if desired
    f.Press End twice to close

  3. Add flap trim capability (making the channel 6 knob operate your flaps for easy in flight adjustments) if desired.
NOTE: if you want to operate your flaperons as flaps on a separate switch, simply use the air brake feature, or an offset mix.
