How can i get flapperons [ch 1 & 6] to work on a slider so that when the slider is full up- the flapperons are at NEUTRAL [currently they go up beyond neutral], and when the slider is full down they are in the full [or whatever percentage is specified] down position? I need to do this on both my 9c, and 9c super. Thanks Steve

You can move the flaps function to the slider, but we don't know of a way to have the flaperon mixer work the way you want. You can only get the flaperons at neutral with centered slider. They'll go up when you move it one way, and down when you move it the other.
The problem is that you can set a slider so that from the middle to one end, you can get the flaps to move, and from the middle to the other end, they will stay at their center position. Can't use the full throw of the slider. When you do this, you lose one of the surfaces as aileron...it will only go in one direction from center, and not the other.
When we try it with a p-mix, we again get one surface that only moves in one direction from center.
Our solution would be to put a bigger detent in the center of the slider's movement so you had a good, tactile "feel" when the slider is in the center position.
