RE: 9C Super Flap set up
Hi Bax,
Thanks for responding. Sorry if I was a bit vague but I haven't set up flaps before and the stuff I've read about offsets and links etc is all new to me ... and not intuitive to me.
Basically, I would like to set up my 9C Super so that I can put flaps on Switch C and drop them to three predetermined positions (eg. zero flaps, say 15% flaps and say 30% flaps for starters). Could you give me the step by step steps to do this so I'm sure to get it right?
I'd like to use whatever mix (or set of mixes) for 3 position flaps on any planes that will have flaps, which would be either warbirds or sailplanes. For a full house sailplane, I would also want to do crow and butterfly but I'd be using one of the glider setups for that plane. Hopefully whatever you suggest for the 3 position flaps could also be applied to the glider modes?
With that in mind, let's assume I have the following setup:
Channel 1 Aileron 1
Channel 2 Elevator
Channel 3 Throttle (my sailplanes would be electric so I'd still be using the throttle stick)
Channel 4 Rudder
Channel 5 Gear
Channel 6 Aileron 2
Channel 7 flaps - either with a 'why' or somehow linked to channel 8 so I could get individual servo adjustment from sub-trim
The only other variation I could see right now is, once flaps are set up, is to put a master-slave arrangement on a switch that slaves flaps to aileron movement to make full width ailerons. Ok, I guess there's a few other things that could be done too, but know how to do these things will set me up for anything else I'm sure.
One last indulgence: For the above 3 position set up, could the 'flap trim' rate be set up so I could adjust it from one of the dials? (I read earlier that the Flap Trim menu setting only applies to flaperons, which i have working on my sailplane now).
Thanks for your patience.
Dave
