Help with 9c programming please
Just got the radio and have it 90% setup. I have a few questions if anyone can answer. FYI this is on a Cap 232, dual elevator and dual aileron servos.
1) I am using the FLAPERON mix with channels 1 and 6 I believe. I have FLAP-TRIM set to Vr(E) and when I move the slider up, the flaps go down and vice versa. No big deal as I can always move it the other way but when flying I'd rather equate up movement to ailerons up (spoilers) and down movement to ailerons down (flaps). I tried reversing channel 6 (how I fixed this problem with another brand Tx) but it only affects one aileron and it affects its direction with respect to both flap and aileron input. Is there a way to get this switch to work the other way? I'm aware I could setup a mix for this but I'd rather not waste a mix on something there is a built-in function for.
2) What is the normal operating Tx voltage range? On a overnight charge (8hrs) it read 10.9v and has dropped to about 9.9v after 2hrs of constant use. Granted this is the first charge so I'm sure things will change. I'm wondering what the peak voltage should be after a full charge and at what voltage level I should no longer fly the plane (and if anyone can give me an approximate time it takes to get there with their tx).
3) According to the manual AIL-DIF function is not available if the FLAPERON mix is used. Conversely, you can not use the ailerons as flaps if the AIL-DIF function is used. So my first thought was that I either get the flap (or spoilers as I'll use them) functionality out of my ailerons or I can have axial rolls. I decided to use the FLAPERON mix and noticed that I can adjust the level of UP and DOWN independantly for each aileron half. If I'm correct, isn't that the same thing as AIL-DIF? This way I have the down travel set at about 70% of the up travel.
Thanks for any input you guys may have.

1) simply reverse the percentages in the flaperon screen under flap.
2) Your output is perfectly normal for a first charge.
3) Yes. please read your manual in detail. it explains that you can't use the built in "ail-diff" function which uses channels 1 and 7 at the same time as you use the flaperon function which uses channels 1-6; however, you can create differential iwthin flaperon as described in detail in the flaperon section of the manual.
