Default 8103 program mixing problems

I wish to set up the programing in my 8103A transmitter so that the following is possible.

When the elevators are actived up, both ailerons deflect down, and vice versa, (Flaps) in order to achieve tighter loops.
I would like to be able to switch this capability on or off via a switch, and also be able to select how much deflection of the flaps I want.

I have each aileron operated by a separate servo. One pluged into the aileron location in the receiver, and the other into Aux 3 in the receiver.

Both elevators operate from one servo.

Thanking you in advance,

Mooose.

To make it simpler I would suggest using the flaperon function which will tie channels 2 and 6 together for ailerons and also for flaps. Follow the below instructions and you should be all set. You will start off with setting the wing type instructions in the first paragraph below.

System Set-Up Mode

To start with we will open a clear model, so press and hold the up and down keys together and flip the power switch on and then release the up and down keys. Press the + and – keys to go into model select. Press the + key until you get to a clear model. Then press the up key twice to get to the model type. To get to the correct type, press the + key to get to ACRO, if it is not already in ACRO mode. Next you will press the up key to model reset. Press CLR so that it will restore the system to factory defaults. Press the up key to select the modulation of the system. Here you will use the + and – keys to set this to the desired modulation. Press the up key twice, to set the wing type selection. Press the + key to set this to mix wing FLAPERON. Then you can press the up key till you get to the name selection, and re-name the model.
At this point we have set up the system mode for our plane. One important thing to note is the flaperon set-up that we put into the wing type selection. This feature mixes the aileron channel with the aux 1 or channel six, so that they will both work as ailerons, and we can set them up to work as flaps as well. Plug the right aileron in to channel 2 and the left into channel 6.

Completion of Aileron Set-Up

Now we need to remove the flap pot from operating the ailerons as flaps. If you like having this ability, you can continue to the next paragraph. Press the up key till the screen says FLAP POT. Press the CLR button until this says POT. INH. This will eliminate the pot function.

Flaperon/Spoileron Set-Up

For a 3D set-up, we will set up the spoilerons. One good way to set up the spoilerons for harriers and elevator maneuvers, is to mix elevator to flap. An easy way to do this mix is with the elevator flap mix, which will work with the flap mix switch. Press the up key till it says ELEV-FLAP MIX in the top line. This will set it up so that they will work with the flap mix switch in the up position. Just flip the switch up, push down elevator, and press the – key until with down elevator the ailerons both go down. If they go up, press the + key instead of the – key. I use 100% in this mix to help keep the wings from rocking in an elevator or harrier. Now pull up elevator and press the – key until with the up elevator, both ailerons go up. If they go down, press the + instead of the – key. Again, I use 100% here. If you would like to have this on a different switch, or would like to have this function work with the spoilerons be active with the switch in the down or LAND position, follow the mix below. Lets set this up in mix 4. Press the up key till you get this mix. Now press the + key till the first channel says elev. Press the channel key so that the second channel is underlined. Next, you will press the select key until the arrow points at SW. You can put this on a few different switches, but lets set this up on the flap mix switch. Press the + key until it says LAND. This will activate when the switch is in the down position. Now we will press the select key to get back to where the arrow points at Rate. If it says OFF, move the flap switch down to the land position. Pull up elevator, and make the value –100% with the – key. Now push down elevator, and make the value –100% again. This should make the ailerons go up with up elevator and vice versa. If they go opposite of this, change the –100% values to + 100% to reverse it. Of course if you want to set-up flaperons instead of spoilerons you would make the ailerons go down with up elevator and vice versa.

No problem! If you have any further questions please let us know.

Thanks Wayne... Odd that you can make such a big impression with some anodized transmitter sticks. As a side note, they are a new item that we carry.

We were all straight tripping boo at your Bling Bling TX sticks when you shizzowed up at the fizzizzle field with them.

Just keeping it real.......
