Default Radio Programming???

Hi guys I'm having problem to program my 6ch Futaba 6XAs radio, Receiver-R127DF
I have 7 servo's and 2 of them are Y-connected to flaps. Is there a way to use "CH6 knob" for Flaps and how?

The way I understand
ch1=Right Aileron
ch2=Elevator
ch3=Throttle
ch4=Rudder
ch5= LANDING GEAR (but I have to use it for Flaps the Switch E)
ch6= Left Aileron

As you can see guys I don't want to use the switch for flaps I would love to use the knob so I can control the flaps to any position I desire.

Thanks in advance

I just did this setup this weekend with my TT Stick. If I remember correctly, I set the flaps to work with the knob by using the flaperon function. I have mine set with the flaps at neutral when the knob is in the center.

The only problem with using a dial for your flaps, is when you get in the air, how do you know where neutra flaps are? (You might just overturn your dial and get a little spoiler action) The switch is a tested preset flap setting that works everytime. I'd stick to the switch.

I have a three way switch. Up is flaperons, middle is off and down is spoilerons. The flaps work with the ele. I love this set up.

I use the flapperon setup too. Mine is set up so that the flaps can NOT got up. Full rotation of the knob brings them back to neutral so there's no guessing whether or not they are up or down.
