David,

Interesting programming problem. Let me help get started, I have a Yellow F-15 that has flight conditions linked to the flap switch .. I have 0 flap, 15 degrees and 45 degrees for flap travel. The same switch also gives me 3 flight conditions, and I vary the taileron mix by condition.

Start by seting up the elevators as ailevators, and on the programming screen (AILEVATOR on the model menu) you'll see setting for percent elevator travel and percentage aileron travel.

You'll also see the flight condition name on the same screen. The default is for all the programming to be the same in all flight conditions, and you have to go into each screen where the flight condition will change something, and tell the radio which things will change when conditions are switched. You want to do this for the AILEVATOR funxtion. Notice the "Group" label on the right hand side of the screen. You need to change this to single (SNGL) to tell the radio that the settings on this screen can change with conditions. Then (presuming you have already created the conditions and linked them to the flap switch), you move the switch to each condition, and separately program the %elevator and %aileron. For one condition, you want aileron function at 0%, for the other, a non-zero amount, maybe 20-25%.

As you flip the switch that changes the condition .. while on the AILEVATOR screen, you'll see the condition name change on the screen, and the settings will flip from the amount you programmed on one condition to the amount you programmed on the other. May sound complicated, but I think you will find it simple with the radio sitting in front of you.

On my F-15, in normal flight, the ailerons are quite effective, so at 0 degrees flap, I have 0% aileron function. But at low airspeeds, the ailerons get a little mushy, so for the condition that is corresponding to 15 degrees of flap, I have 20% aileron function and for 45 degrees flap, I have 25%. This give me progressively more "taileron" function as the plane slows down. I started by experimenting with a separate switch for flaps and flight conditions, but found it convenient to make the one switch (SC in my case) do both.

Next, your aileron question. I have not tried this but let me suggest something. Go to the function menu and change the group setting .. look for the button labelled "Gr." and set it to SNGL just like you did on the AILEVATOR. For one flight condition, set the aileron so it does nothing .. change the "J1" in the control column to NULL ... in the other flight condition, leave it as J1. This turns aileron control on and off for the two flight conditions.

Next set up an offset pmix (on the PROG MIXES screen on the model menu, push the "mode" button to change to an offset mix .. that is, a mix with no master ... only a slave) .. and then go into the mix, set aileron as the slave, and set the offset percentage as desired.

I believe this will do the trick .. let me know how it goes...
