RE: Programming a Profile, what do you do?
My programming is changing all the time on each plane. I make tuning adjustments nearly every day at the field. I keep changing the way I program switches also. I'd love to have a panic mode switch so that I could cut out all mixes and get to a basic setup. Spoilerons/flaperons have gotten me into trouble on a few occasions as well as ailavator mixes. I have always used the rate switches as high rate in the up postion. In a panic, it's a lot harder to pull them down to low than it would be to flip them up. I have also accidently bumped them up with my fat fingers on the sticks. If I wasn't so used to flying this way I'd change that around. I fly a 9C and use the three position just to the left of aileron DR. Up for spoilerons and down for flaperons. I did it this way so I could remember which was which. Up switch is up ailerons with up elevator, down switch is down ailerons with up elevator. This works great except in a panic, that center off position is tough to hit. Profiles aren't so bad but I had a 25% Giles that was a real beast on high rates and viscious with mixes in.
I'd also like to see what others are doing as well.
