Default Programming switch "C" on a 9C ?

Hello Bax,

I'm trying to set up flaps by using the three-position switch "C" on my 9C (I'm not using flaperons).

I'm using channel 1 for right ail., channel 7 for left ail., channel 5 for left flap and channel 6 for right flap.

This particular aircraft requires a mid-flap position of 1 1/2 inches, and a full-flap position of 3 inches. By using the electronic trims, I was able to attain the neutral (full-up) postion and the full-down 3 inch position. It's that center (switch) position that's driving me nuts.

I just spent about 2 hours looking through the 9C manual with no results. I can find no way to set (or adjust) that center position to attain a 1 1/2 inch mid-flap setting. When I position the switch to the center, both flaps wind up at 2 3/4 inches down. I haven't got a clue why they drop to 2 3/4 inches.

I also skip through this Futaba thread from time-to-time and remembered you may have already answered this same question, but I'll be darned if I can find the post. From what I remember, you mentioned something about a primary mid-switch mechanical position ???

Most likely it's something small I'm overlooking. Can you help me out ?

Thanks,

Joe M.
