Mixing elevator to flaps with the 9C
 
Hello!
Searched the manual, here, and on the Futaba FAQ page with no luck. :confused:
The plane is a Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 60 set up with airbrake on switch C per the Futaba 9C FAQ.
I also have full span aileron function on switch H per the FAQ.
Both work properly.
What I want to do is have the elevator lower when I manually lower the flaps using switch VR D. The flaps are already set up on this switch as part of the airbrakes setup as instructed in the FAQ.
I do not have a problem with using another switch for this function but since the flaps are already set up on VR D it seemed logical to use this. :D
Help!
Thanks in advance.

Flap/elevator mix: Solution found!
 
Me again.
Found a solution to the problem that might not be the only or even the correct solution but its working good so far.
My solution:

My solution was to use pmix 6.
Master - aux2
Slave - Elev
Link - on
Percentages are:
full up - 40%
half up - 20%
Center - 0%
half down - 20%
full down - 40%
Same switch as full span ailerons - Switch H
down - on
so that when I flip the switch to activate full span ailerons, the flap->elev mix is off. Turn the full span ailerons off and the flap elevator mix is back on.
I will have to play with those percentages but its looking good so far!
The flap/elevator mix operates in both directions which may or may not be a good thing.
Cant wait to hit the field again and try the new settings.
Maiden flight was this morning and I love this plane already!

Final adjustments...
 
Changed the percentages to:
Percentages are:
full up + 15%
half up + 5%
Center - 0%
half down - 5%
full down - 15%
Plane remains perfectly level when flaps are moved downwards now. Sucker will just drift in for a landing and hops right off the ground during take off.
