Default Polk’s Tracker III Programming Question

A friend of mine is having a problem programming his Polk’s Tracker III transmitter to do it what he wants it to do. We could use your help.

He has a Horizon Hobby Mini Ultra Stick with four servos in the wing. Two are on the outboard ailerons and two more on the inboard flaps. He wants to get the TRACKER-III Tx to operate in a "QUAD FLAP" mode in this aircraft. That means he wants, at the flip of a switch, to have the outboard ailerons reflex upward slightly, while the inboard flaps drop down somewhat. The effect is like “crow” in that the plane can be greatly slowed down in flight and yet not stall. He hopes to do "harrier" type hovering maneuvers in this mode.

TIA,
Ken Myers

If you can not get an answer, call Polks. They are very helpful. They helped me out with some programming difficulties with my Tracker II.

Thanks Campy but that avenue has already been tried. They (Polks) are not interested in giving my friend help, even though he's very well known to you all and been a HUGE supporter of the Tracker series of radios since their introduction.

That doesn't sound like Polks. Every time I have called them they have been extremely courtious and helpful. Maybe a new guy or someone having a bad day ???

John Gill was the contact at Polk's. As I understand it, he's the one who would know or have the ability to find out, if anyone there knows.
