RE: Programming switch "C" on a 9C ?
Krysta,
Thank You very much for your time, but after some tinkering, I came up with a fairly simple fix for my flaps. What I was missing was you must first set Switch "C" to the center position and then mechanically set the center flap position. Once this mechanical (center) position is set, all of the other electrical flap adjustments are very easy.
This is what I did:
1. Turn on the radio and receiver.
2. Set switch "C" to the center position.
3. Position the servo arms on both flap servos to 90 degrees to the side of the servo case (either at a right or left angle).
4. Install the flap servos to the wings. At this time, DON'T move switch "C" to either the up or down position........leave it in the middle. Moving the switch now may cause too much servo arm throw which may cause possible linkage, flap or servo damage (I found this out the hard way).
5. Install all flap linkage and adjust it to where you want the "center" switch position to be. In my case it was 1 1/2 inches down-flap. Again, DON'T move switch "C" to either the up or down position........leave it in the middle.
6. Disconnect the linkage at one end (either at each flap or each servo).
7. Flip Switch "C" up. Using the "end-point" feature, reduce the amount of "up" throw on both servo arms about 75%. The reason I did this step was to prevent too much servo arm throw which may cause possible linkage, flap or servo damage.
8. Flip Switch "C" down. Using the "end-point" feature, reduce the amount of "down" throw on both servo arms about 75%. Again, the reason I did this step was to prevent too much servo arm throw which may cause possible linkage, flap or servo damage.
9. Reconnect the servo linkage (on each servo).
10. After reconnecting the linkage, flip switch "C" up and use the "end-point" function to electrically set the flap up position (neutral).
11. Flip switch "C" down and use the "end-point" function to electrically set the flap down position (in my case it was 3 inches).
If need be, you now can easily adjust the center flap position using the "sub-trim" function, or, the up and down position using the "end-point" function.
Thanks Again Anyway,
Joe M.
