I have a glider that has 4 servos in the wing.
2 for flaps and 2 for ailerons.
Type is set at GLD2FLP ...
alierons are in channels 1 & 7, flap servos ch.5 & ch.6

Alierons function normal ... Flaps are in full down position ...

Question: How do I set up my radio to use the flaps only?
is it possible to have a switch to turn them on then use the throtle lever to control amount of throw ...

or is this only controlled by the channel 6 knob.

The manual is not real clear on this ... I wanted to also have the option to crow my bird.

Would I have less headaches by just using a "Y" connector and use ch.6 for the flaps and change type to GLD1FLP?

Why is the manual so confusing?

or am I just dumb when it comes to programming this radio?

both flap servos work ... and I have flap trim when adjusting ch. 6 knob ... but it only makes the one side more or less than the other. I can not figure out how to raise or lower them together at the same time.

Please advise me of my dumbness ....

Dawg,

You can move the flaps to the throttle stick by using two mixes. Mix 3->5 and 3->6. This puts them on the throttle stick. Adjust the %'s as necessary.

Turn off the knob per the FAQ:

Let me know if this helps.

DD, if you use butterfly/crow/airbrake ,then your flaps can easily be moved on the throttle stick.

Your channel 6 dial is setup to only move the channel 6 servo. you can turn it off as listed above.

to put the flaps on a switch, do an offset mix(master OFST) slave flaps, link ON, and assign to your desired switch.

If you look at the FAQ for the ultrastick it will tell you how to do this type of setup in acro mode, it should be helpful in clarifying things for you.

I finally figured it out ...

But not as easy as I would of liked ...

I did get ahold of a book wrote by Don Edberg on programming the "Super 8" and it seemed to help get me to the point where I understood the "Advanced Programming Techniques" a little clearer ...

I should of saved my money and got a 9C ... instead of two 8 UAPS ... but ... now I see the light ... I am glad I have both.

One for my Power planes and the other for my Glider horde ...

Thanks again.
