You sure can. You must assign the channels on the 2 ailerons as seperate on AFP. Then turn your spoilerons on your radio.

View picture.

With my radio (JR). I assign channel 2 as left aileron, I assign channel 6 as right aileron. Just like you do on a real plane. Then I turn on the flaperons/spoilerons. This might be different with your radio. Check your radio manual for flaperon/spoileron settings and assignments.

If you know how to adjust all the settings on your real plane for spoilerons and flaperons, this is going to be a piece of cake. If you have to learn it ... well, you have to read your computer radio manual.

Ok Dion, I set it up the same way you have because im using a JR XF631 but I can only get full flpa or full spoiler, no where i between like it should be and sometimes only one aieleron will work. Con you tell me how to fix this

Check the servo function on your Tx to check your Ch1 and Ch6 servos move as expected with the spoileron and flaperon mixes on and off.

In AFP control panel set Left Aileron and Left Flap to Ch6 and Right Aileron and Right Flap to Ch1.

Then experiment with varying degrees of spoilerons during a harrier, and flaps during landing. One of the interesting and realistic experiments that can be done in a sim.

Fly guy do you know how to set flaperons and spoilerons on your field aircraft? I know with JR radios you have to adjust the flap switch to 0 in both directions. Then you may have to change the direction of your aileron or flaps.

Rajul on my JR I assign 2 and 6 and it works great. What radio are you using?

Hi Dion, I'm using a Futaba 9C. The channel assignments in the JR may be differrent, but the principle is the same.
