Guys,
Thanks for the help. I understant that I could use one channel for the flaps. But then I would have to use two channels for the alerons.
No you do not have to.
Just use "Y" adapters for both the flaps and ailerons.
CGRetired's solution works very well.
At very worst you can also use something like a "matchbox" to reverse a servo's direction if need be, or better yet buy a matched set of servos, one normal servo and one reversed servo.

Etiher way I have a six channel reciver and severn servos. Throttle, rudder, elevator, 2-flaps , 2 alerons. So I have a y on the alerons and have to mix the flaps.
No there is no need to mix the flaps.
I though you were trying to get some additional functionality, as I've done in my Giant U-Can Do.
On my Giant UCD I have both ailerons on seperate channels, both flaps on seperate channels and both elevators on seperate channels.
I've used mixing to be able to have the flaps act as innner ailerons.
I have switches set up to perform the following
3 Position Switch
UP - Flaps operate as inboard ailerons, both ailerons and flaps use differential.
Middle - Flaps operate as flaperons, amount controllable by knob, differential used
Down - Flaps operate only as flaps, amount controlled by knob
2 Position switch
Up - Pitch to Elevator mixing
Down - Normal Elevator function
I may also add elevon mixing for the tail at some point.
Needless to say it was fun getting all of this to work properly... it taught me a lot about the TX software.
