Default 8UAF flap setup help

My radio system is an FP-T8UAF transmitter with an 8 ch receiver. My model is a GP Piper Cherokee with two aileron servos and two flap servos. I would like to connect the flaps and have them work off 3 position sw "C" with Up = 0%, middle = 50%, and down = 100% flap. The flap servos are installed just like the aileron servos, i.e.; if they were connected with a "Y" connector, they would move in opposite directions.

Ailerons to be either "differential" setup, or just connected with a Y connector to channel 1

I have tried - and failed - to figure this out.

Your assistance is appreciated.

Go to this web address and scroll down to the DX7 Radio Ailerons With Flaps. You also need to hookup your flap servos to aY - connector and this plugs into the Aux1 channel. This works. Dave. http://rcaerobats.net/Spektrum/dx_7_main_page.htm

The easiest way to do this is by using 2 Offset mixes.

1.) Offset as master to Flap as slave, link On, Switch C in the Center position and make the rates +50%.
2.) Offset as master to Flap as slave, link On, Switch C in the Down position and make the rates +100%.

Having Link On in these two mixes will insure that if you are using a mix for two flap servos, they both will work off this mix .

Thanks for the quick response, but I really am a novice at this - I've never even used a mix before. What channels should I plug the two flap servos into?
Is there any other detailed info I would need to get this set properly?

I appreciate your help.
