For the JR 9303 and later transmitters, including the XG series, the quickest and easiest way to set up dual ailerons without single or dual flaps is to go to the Wing Type menu and change the wing type from NORMAL to FLAPERON. When you this, the sixth channel which is normally designated as FLAP or AUX1, is turned into the left aileron channel. There is no need to inhibit channels in the DeviceSEL to make this change. Since the sixth channel is no longer usable as the flap channel, you can’t have single or dual flaps using the FLAPERON wing type.

The FLAPERON wing type automatically adds the flaperon attribute to the ailerons. This means that on the 9303 and 9503 if the FLAP SW or whatever switch you designate as the flap switch in the DeviceSEL is in its up (POS0) position, both ailerons will rise 100%. If the switch is in its down (POS2) position, both ailerons will droop 100%. Only in its middle position will the ailerons be neutral. For the other JR transmitters, the default flaperon positions for the flap switch are neutral for POS0 and POS1 and down for POS2.

Some people find the flaperon attribute to be a problem because they forget about the flap switch affecting the aileron position. There are a couple of ways to inhibit the attribute. One can simply go to the FLAP SYS menu in the Function List and change all the settings to zero. Another which works on all the transmitters except the 11X2.4 with the version 1 software is to go to the DeviceSEL menu and change the FLAP channel output from SYS to INH. On the 11X2.4 with the version 1 software if the output is inhibited, the aileron trim ceases to work on the left aileron.

Regardless of the transmitter model, don’t use a program mix to mate another channel to the aileron, elevator, rudder, or flaps to get dual surfaces. For these channels, the program mix does not transfer the trim and other master channel attributes to the slave channel.
