Default Flap Programming

I have a JR XF631 that I am trying to program the Ail servo travel, (It has two servos for Ail), I have the right servo pluged into the 2nd chanel, and the left pluged into the 6th channel. (R700 receiver) When I set the Ail throws, The right sets up great, the left throws do not change. The flaps work great, but are not even do to the throws being off. Everything works great, but the Ail are not even close. (The Ail throws are set at 65% down, 125% up)(1 inch up, 5/8 inch down),(The left is 7/8 up and down)
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would a "Y" harness help with my throws? or would I still have to set them up Mechanicaly?

I don't use JR radios, but what I do know is that you have to get the linkages as mechanically matched as possible before you start messing with programming. Set up each servo one at a time on the same channel. Then put the second servo in the slave channel. On some Futaba radios you have to turn the mix on for it to work even if you adjust all the mix settings. In other words, the mix might be inhibited even if you set percentages for it which means it's off.

Well i just dont use JR radios, but in futaba the left aileron is on the 2nd channel and the right to the 6th, and next just select the option flaperon, it is really easy to program, but you should see in the manual of the radio how to make this... I dont even know what radio is... if it is not a computer radio you have no choice I need an Y. Good luck

Goplane
It has been a while since I have done this but here goes.
Turn the flap switch to the off position and set the throws to 0% both ways.
Turn flaperon mix on in wing type screen. Plug Rt aileron in aileron socket left aileron in flap socket. Adjust travel and end points on Rt aileron screen and adjust Lt aileron travel and end points in the flap screen.
Turn the flap switch on and set the down travel desired.

Hope tis helps

I tryed what yoy said about programing, every time I try to adjust the throws on channel 6(flap) both ail move, not just the left one. I dont have a switch to shut the flap switch off, It is either position 0 or 1.

Ask Danny from Horizon in the JR support forum. You'll get a great, authoritative response.
