Default 9C Flapperon programming question

I'm trying to get a aileron/flaps mix setup on my 9C. Everything seems to be working fine except to activate the flaps I have to turn the VR-A knob. Is there any way to get the flap activation moved to a switch?

Go to your AUX Channel menu and change it from the knob to a switch.
It is in the main menu on the second page.

Thanks, don't know why I couldn't find that before.
To get it to work I had to put the flaps on one of the 3 position switches. When they were on a 2 position switch, the flaps were all the way up instead of being neutral when the switch was in the off position but that's not a big deal.
Again thanks for the help.

No problem. You can fix the two position problem you stated by using an offset.

I'm not sure what you mean by offset. How would I go about getting one setup?

RTN,
The ideal way to do this is: in the auxch screen, assign cahnnel 6 to NULL.

now go to prog mixes, pick a mix you arent using.

master = OFFSET
slave = FLAP
switch - (desired switch and position)
RATE = 100% (for starters, adjust as needed to get actual desired down flaperons)
TRIM (not available)
LINK ON

This will "offset" or move your flaps a preset portion of their total travel.

Thanks for the info
I must be doing something wrong because when I set channel 6 to null, one of the ailerons stops moving. I've been playing with so much that my TX battery is dead so I'll try some more after a charge.

Sounds like you might need to plug your left aileron into channel 5 instead of 6........I had the same problem on my Ultra Stick when I set it up in my 9C, but I can't remember exactly what I did to correct it........

glow, if you move your aileron into you'll need to program the setup separately and NOT use the flaperon function.....
