Default 8103 differential flap setup help needed

Hello Danny,

The instructions for my new glider call for Differential Flaps. As an example, for a left turn it should perform the following: LEFT aileron 100% UP travel, LEFT flap 50% UP, RIGHT flap 0% down, RIGHT Aileron 25% DOWN.

I have no problem setting the Aileron differential and coupling flap to ailerons, but I don't know how to restrict one flap from going down as the other flap goes up when making a turn. I cannot set FLAP Travel Adjustment DOWN to 0% since the flap is required to go down for the butterfly (crow) and for normal camber.

I (and four other 8103 users in my Club) would very much appreciate your help with this.

Thanx theox,

I've read thru all these before (great reading, BTW), but non of them explain how to deal with my particular problem; how to do no down movement on one flap while x% up on the other flap when coupled with ailerons.

I'm sorry to say that I have been unable to find a way to do this. If I am able to find a way I will let you know.
