Default Info for 9C converted to 2.4

Can you tell me how to get the same flap movement on a 3 position switch (G) chnl's 5&6. I have tried to follow the original manual to the best of my knowledge
with the switch in the down position, the servo arms are at the same angle coming out of the wings, and I have mechanically set the flaps in the UP position, but as soon as I go to the mid point on the switch I get different angles on the flaps (right on chnl-5 at 10 deg's ( left on chnl-6 at 20+ deg's and at full flap, (right at 30 deg's ) and the (left at 50 deg's).
I am fairly sure it is something I have mist, I have checked the servos to make sure they are matched out of the wing and when you operate them independently they are with in 1/2 deg of being the same.

So any help would be great

Cheers Bob T

First off, you have to get the flaps set up mechanically, first. With both transmitter and receiver turned on, put the 3-position flap switch in the center position. The servo arms should be at 90-degrees to the servo case. Remove and replace the servo arm to get it at that 90-degree positioin. You may need to turn the output arms 180-degrees to get the servo arm exactly centered.

Now, mechanically adjust the pushrods so that the flaps are at their 1/2 down position.

Now move the flap switch to the flaps stowed position. Adjust that endpoint so that the flaps are in trail with the wing.

Move the switch to the full flaps-down position. Adjust that endpoint to the amount of deflection required.

You will have to adjust the endpoints as needed so that both flaps move together.
