So the setup is that I have two servos in the wing.
RX is a 5chan with chans 1-5.
Flaperons are ON and second Aileron servo is set to Chan 5.
In Param Chans 5 & 7 have no switch assigned.

Ailerons work just fine. One goes up, one goes down, just like ailerons should. 8-)

I'd like to use the ELV-FLP function to lower the flaps by a % when up Elev is applied.

No luck. ELV-FLP function does nothing (it's not INH and it's set to 50%) regardless of if I set it to a switch or just force it ON.
Flap trim knob also does nothing.

Are these functions not available if the Flaperon function is in use? They were in my old FP-7UHP.

Thanks

Barry

Check the instruction. Flaperons eliminate the elevator/flap mixer.

I needed the 5 chan RX in another model. So I replaced it with a 6 chan.........Guess what - - - - If you place the second aileron servo on channel 6 all the mixing functions return. I can now have my ELV-FLP function on a switch and it moves both ailerons just as it should. Snap flap works as long as you leave the second aileron servo on the default channel 6.

All the best

Edit - don't forget to ENABLE FLAP TRIM and set it to 0% - 0% or the TX channel 6 knob will work one aileron. That would be drastic if used in the air.

Now I am trying to use my ailerons as flaps as well using a 6 ch reciever and the function of flaperon. I am trying to get the ailerons to work as ailerons as well as when I turn the nob on my 7cap, I would like both ailerons to move their center position up or down depending on which way I turn the nob. Is this a function that I should have no problem with or is this an idea that requires a special mix or something. The problem that I have now is that both ailerons move up and down when I move the stick to the left or right and they will not work in opposite directions. Any help with this?
Thanks Steve

Move the aileron stick to the right. I'm going to assume that they both go downwards.
Viewed from the rear of the plane - with a right turn - only the left wing aileron should go downwards, right aileron should go up.
So reverse the channel that the right wing aileron servo is attached to. It will be either Chan 1 or 6 depending how you attached them to the receiver.

Hope this helps.

BTW to have the flaps both go up and down together on a knob you will need to use the FL-TRIM function.
Activate the FL-TRIM and set the % figures to the amount of movement you would require.

Best of luck
