Futaba 10J Programming
Plane is Aeroworks Edge 54 V3 35cc DLE ra
Left aileron on Ch.1
Right aileron on Ch.6
There are no separate speed brakes or flaps.
Should the right aileron be on another channel to do the following:
I would like to have the ailerons act as flaps/speedbrakes in a couple of possible configurations.
Switch C - Up is no flaps, Neutral is 1/2 down, and Down is full flaps? (Like the flaps on a full size aircraft.) Speed brake on another switch that overrides all flap settings and activates speed brakes.
VR knob to adjust flaps in a continuous manner. Speed brake on another switch that overrides all flap settings and activates speed brakes.
Switch C so that Neutral is no action, Down is flaps down, and Up is speed brakes.
On landing with flaps down I could then flip Switch C to up and have immediate speed brakes and plant the plane firmly on the ground by cancelling extra lift from the flaps.
Great radio but the Manual is obtuse to say the least. It is a reference manual, not an instruction manual. It should have steps for some simple setups.

My Feedback: (11)
The 10J cannot do all you are asking. What you want to do is very complex, and the 10J does not have that complexity.
When you program dual aileron servos and want to have flaperons, you can put them on a switch, but that will give you full down, neutral, full up (airbrake/spoiler). You can use a knob to activate the flaps, but the knob will act the same way as a switch, except that you'll have full adjustability.
Again, you are not asking for a simple setup, but something quite complex. You could probably get that kind of programming with a 14SG, certainly with an 18MZ.

One of the guys in our club managed to come up with a configuration that uses switch C for airbrake/neutral/flaps down. However trim on the ailerons only works on the left wing.
Can you send me a step by step the way you would do it?
As always, thanks for the help.
Couple of other questions/suggestions:
Simulate the radio programming with an app on a computer or smart phone.
Download/backup all of the configurations.
Download and send the configuration to someone else.
Easily see on the transmitter the configuration - which switches activated on what function and what mixes are in use. It's pretty tedious to navigate between all the options.
