RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
Hey sctcrash.
I also have a 6exap radio. Your rite you can't turn off the mixing with a flip of a switch while flying. I am refering to mixing of the elevator and the flaperons. I didn't want that situation either. So I opted for another mixing setup. With the flaperons you have control of the flaperon position using the flap knob on the upper right of the transmitter. That is all well and good except I don't use it much myself because if you do the position of the flaperons becomes ambiguos unless you take your eyes off your plane to check the position of the flap knob. Not a good idea when the plane is in the air. But what I do use is the mix having the landing gear switch turn on and off the flaperon position. You can either set it up for the LG sw to raise the flaperons so you have spoilerons. Handy for harriers and landing situations. Or you can set the mix set in reverse so you can turn on and off the dropping of the flaperons to a down flap position. You make ch 5 (gear) as the master. Then set ch 6 as the slave. Then you can flip the gear switch on and off moving the flaperons to a preset mixed position. Flaperon mode must be previously set up for this to work. If your ucando is set up more tail heavy you don't need to have flaperon/elevator mixing as much as if it were nose heavy. This is the only short coming of the 6exa radio I can see. For a low priced radio it still isn't bad.
