14MZ Flaps
I'm trying to set up a model with two aileron/two flap, airplane type configuration. I'm using a three position switch to lower the flaps. For an unknown reason, one flap lowers more than the other at the second switch position and then both flaps are equal at the third position. I've tried to adjust the values in different screens with no effect.
Any help is appreciated

RE: 14MZ Flaps
Hi Skydiver,
I am not sure how you set yours up, but this is what I did with mine.
In the function screen I assigned my first flap to Switch C, and left the second flap Null
Next in the Model Menu, I went into Flap Setting and made the Up value 0% and Down 100%, with the offset at 0%.
Then I went into Programmable Mixes and did one Offset mix to the first flap with switch C in the center position at 50%. Then I did a second Offset mix to the second flap again with switch C in the center positon at 50%.
Doing this give me the option in the mixes of changing the rate from 50% to whatever it needs to be to give me the exact movement I need from both flaps.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
