It's a little goofy... and I really wish they would include a better manual with this radio, since some of the mixes ARE NOT very intuitive.


Anyway....


1) Set up your flaps, and ailerons in the wing type menu. (not as a program mix)

2) Use a program mix, and then mix the flap switch to the LAL. That will allow you to raise both ailerons. Also... you can assign this to a switch, to turn the mix on and off.


FYI: If you mix to the RAL, I will make the ailerons go opposite of each other.


I just did this myself, and I had to contact one of the Spektum programmer's to get an answer. I wish they would have just kept the terminology the same as the JR radios, where you mix FLP to FLPRN.

To do crow correctly how do the flaps need to be setup at the start? 0% travel at mid flap?

I don't think I'm understanding correctly.

Really there is no right or wrong... it's how you like it. But, if you set it at 0% at mid flap... then your first notch of flaps will have no crow. Then, from that point on, it will have crow.

This is why I put it on a switch. That way I can decide when I want to use it. AND... it's helpful during the setup flights. (It can be turned off if something bad happens)

Dear Tony,
I already setup my crown.
At the first flap step it has the crown set, at full flap I left it without the crown. I think it will work great. I will try it this weekend and let you know.
Take care
Marcelo

At full flap you want the crow. At half flap, no crow.
