i have a cap 9 radio and i would like to set up the control surfaces to do as many things as possible what are the options the craft is a ventus 4 meter the plane is equipt with flaps and alierons rudder and elevator using the cap 9 i should be able to mix things has any one used this radio before

With a 8 channel reciever and the 9CAP or 9CAPS you can set up everything you want, spoilers, crow, flaps, dual rates, expo, a aileron to rudder mix.... It will be a test to get everything right though.

I fly TD sailplanes, e-gliders, slope gliders, DL gliders, and parkflyer electrics. I will go through the mixes I used on my full house gliders using my Futaba 9C. There are more that can be done and more options but this is a quick glance. I have since upgraded to the 9C Super, but most of this still applies. Teh % will be different for every plane, so just take these s starting point examples. My Legend gets different % then my Supra or my Thermal Dancer.

This assumes the plane has 6 servos, 4 in the wing, each on its own channel using Glider-Flap2 setting. There is a picture in the sailplane section of the manual that shows the proper channel sequence for the wing. I believe, going left to right it is 7,6,5,1 for the servos. Elevator on 2 and rudder on 4.

Here is my set-up for the full house on my 9C:

Aileron Differential - up 100%, down 50% ( this also enables two aileron servos )

Aileron-flap so that flaps follow - on switch - flaps move about 15% up and down. I use this mostly in windy conditions for extra roll authority.

Aileron-Rudder mix - rudder about 25% - on switch so I can turn it on or off.

On the 3 position switch - over left hand on the H version of the radio or over the right hand on the A version

Launch setting - Switch toward me
Droop flaps 20%
Droop ailerons 20%

Cruise ( normal ) Flight setting - - switch centered all surfaces at neutral

Speed setting - - switch away from me -
use this for zoom off winch and when running from sink Ailerons and flaps up 6% -

Flap-elevator compensation -
Landing control operated from left slider - active all the time.
Flap at about 80 degrees with about 20% down elevator

Crow/butterfly - controlled from stick - activate from switch A ( can't be active all the time on 9C - can on Super )
Flap at about 75 degrees,
ailerons up 25% and
about 10% down elevator

Tripple rates: High setting - all surfaces 100% with no expo

Mid setting
Ailerons - 30% expo
Elevator- 40% expo
Rudder - 20% expo

Low rate
ailerons - 50% expo
Elevator- 60% expo
Rudder - 20% expo

Timer set on switch - initaties up and dow timers - On the A class, I use the front top swich.

You don't need all of this.

As a strating point I would suggest:

Aileron diff - on all the time
Aileron - Rudder - I like this on a switch
Flap-elevator for landing - on all the time - I put this on left slider
Launch setting - on top tripple switch - toward me
Reflex setting - On top tropple switch - away
Dual/tripple rates/expo As you like it

Do these, then add others as time goes on.

One tip on OFFSET on the 9C.

This drove me crazy for months.

On many mix screens there is a place for offset, but there is no way to get to it to enter a number.

The way you enter is to move the stick. The % will change, then you press down the circular dial. This will store the offset. What this means is that when you hit that swtich, the surface will immediately move to that position. This works well for camber settings.

Speaking Camber, on the original 9C, you implement camber control using the flap to aileron mix along with the use of a slider or dial to adjust camber, or you use an offset so that it is implemented at the flip of a switch.

Good luck.
