dx7 flaps programming
 

Hi,

I have a foam cessna 182 deluxe, it has 1 servo for ailerons, 1 servo for flaps, 1 for rudder.

I have a 6 channel receiver and a dx7 transmitter, I also using a gyro on the ailerons and have the gyro adjustments on the gear channel.

I am planning the to connect the flaps servo into the aux 1 channel.

How do I go about programming in the flaps control?

Thanks for any advice,

Andrew

A gyro on a foam plane? What for?

This is directly from the DX7 manual, page 58. You can get a copy of the manual at

Flap System
The purpose of the Flap System is to set the flap and elevator positions for landing and takeoff. This is
accomplished by selecting values for the elevator and flaps to be activated when the Land Switch is engaged.
Three flap and elevator positions are available. The landing system can also be activated by a preset position
of the throttle stick. Refer to the Automatic Landing Attitude section for more information on how to select the
preset throttle position.
Note: The Flap System is only operational when system is selected under Flap in the Input
Select screen. See page 46 for more detail.

thanks for the help,

got it working.

the gyro is to help learn to fly and allow me to fly in windier conditions.

thanks,

You're welcome.

The gyro won't help you but it will definitely hinder you. You are much better off learning without any of those types of gizmo's on your plane. They only mask problems that will come up.
