Default futaba t8j

I am using channels 5 and 6 for flaps and i need to fine tune flap adjustment while in off poisition (down) I am using switch G for flaps in down position then middle for 1/2 flaps and up for full flaps. I need to fine tune flaps in down position if possible without a manual adjustment. Forgot to add not using Y connector.
Thanks for any help

If the flaps are on separate channels you can use the end point menu for that channel to adjust the full up and full down positions.

I am not clear how you have your flaps set up then. End points should adjust the servo when it is at the extremes of motion, not in the middle.

I set my flaps on a 3-POS switch with the switch full up being the zero flap setting. Switch in the middle is 50% flaps. Switch full down is 100% flaps.

I set the switch to the middle (50%) flap position. I then adjust the linkage to give me the deflection I want. Then I use the endpoints for zero and 100% flaps.

I'm still not clear what you are doing. I adjust the 50% position using the linkage. Then I adjust the Full up (zero flap) and full down (100% flap) positions electronically using the endpoints for each servo.
