7C with an Ultra Stick
I have the Futaba 7C - I just completed building an Ultra Stick 40 and I’ve followed the Futaba FAQ:
Is the 7C capable of being used with a complex 7-servo aerobatic model with separate flap and aileron servos?
First you will need to plug your flaps into channels 5 and 7.
Next you will need to activate Flaperons. Then go into your Airbrake menu and activate it, again setting the percentages as needed.
Now you will want to go into your Elevator/Flap mix and activate it. Select your 3-position switch in the up position for this and once you have set your percentages as needed, you will want to make this active.
Then we will want to do two Pmixes.
The first one will be OFS as master, to channel 5 slave, put this on your 3-way switch in the Down position, and set the rate to +70%.
The second one will be Offset as master, to channel 7 slave, again put this on the 3-way switch in the Down position and set the rate to +70%.
Now you will want to go into Para and set channels 5 and 7 to Switch B if you would like to have Flaps alone on a switch.
This will give you the following.
3-way switch in the Up position will give you some Flap with your Elevator, in the Center position you will have normal functions of all channels, in the Down position you will have Airbrake with up flaperons, down flaps, and down elevator (can be changed to up elevator if needed). Switch B down will give you full down Flap.
Everything seems to work just great! I just have one question: Can I change the - “Switch B down will give you full down Flap.” – to the rotating knob so that I can dial in the amount of flaps I want? Or perhaps set-up two different switches for two different flap settings?

RE: 7C with an Ultra Stick
Hi johndou,
Unfortunately, in the Parameter menu, it will not give you the option to place channels 5 and 7 on the dial. They can only be set to specific switches.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support team at 217-398-8970 opt 2, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
Sincerely,
