Assign the channel to the 3 position switch.
Set the flaps up so that your servo is centered, the switch is in the center and the flaps are where you want that first click of flaps to be.
Then set the one end point for full up without binding and the other end point for full down and no binding. I would start with very low end points before you power it up and increase them till you get them where you want vice starting with 100, that way if they bind you dont break anything.

Hi, Barracuda,
I'm afraid I didn't exaclty understand what to do... Could you translate your post into something real stupid proof? 
Thanks a bunch in advance!

Hi, Bruce!
Well, what I wanna do is to move flaps half way down on one switch position and move it fully down on the second switch position. Let's say that if the switch is "down", the flap is stuck on the wing. If the switch is on its center position, flaps are half way down and if switch is on its down position, flaps fully down. How to do it?
Thanks!

I didn't look in the book but I dont see how Dual Rate would help you.
Put the 3 position switch in the center and rig the flaps for half down.
Set the flap channel end points to 0.
Flip the switch up and raise the end point till the flap stops where you want it to.
Flip the switch down and raise the end point till the flap stops where you want it to.
If up switch = down flap and you want it the other way reverse the flap channel in the reverse menu.
Fly and enjoy.
