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. |
