MikeMayberry,

Why does the 9 channel receiver have 2 antennas, and the 7channel receiver only have one?

For redundancy; It's not a necessity.

I remember hearing this same argument during the transition from horses to the horseless carriage. Keep your buggy whips cause horses are coming back as soon as folks realize that things like AC, heaters, GPS, satellite radio and CD players are just gimmicks that you don't need.

LOL!!! You remember this? [X(]

On the elevator mix to the flap. If you use a P-mix you can adjust the speed of the slave servo. I would set it up in P-Mix 6,7, or 8 which have 7 point curves so you should be able to get it exactly how you want. I think that is something we need to add to the airbrake mode... I'll put that on the firmware upgrade list.
Mike,

I will try the P mix mode (again) and see if I can make it work for me. I only want the elevator to be slow as it moves during flap/elevator mix when the flaps move up or down. In all other situations it needs to move at its regular speed. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Also, you might want to take a close look at the JR (9303/12X) flap programming screen because I really think they got this down and it is so intuitive and easy to use. The one screen lets you program flaps in three positions (up - half - full down) and all adjustable, flap servo speed can also be adjusted on the same page, and you can add elevator mix on the same page and the elevator mix speed is married to the flap speed that you choose. It can be done via switch or flight mode. I would sure like to see the A9 flap page incorporate something similar. You can do all of this on the high end Futaba radios but, it is not nearly as easy or intuitive as the JR. Take a look and see what you think.
