Default SettingJR 9x to handle flaps and ailerons

Hi there I have a problem with setting my JR 9x ...I have a set up where i have 2 servos on each wing...one for flaps and the other for aileron....during normal flight i want both the flaps and ailerons to act together as one long aileron...but on landing i want to use the flap as a flap and keep the aileron working as per normal....what do i do to get this to work ?[]

Oh wow, that's a fun one. Not that it's really much to do with pattern, but I'll try and help anyway.

I have something similar on my CAP 10, where I set up the flaps as coupled flaps (coupled to the elevator, down elevator, up flap, up elevator, down flap) it was a bad idea but the general workings are the same.

I'd use the pmix 5 and 6, and perhaps use flight modes to switch between them. I have mine also set up that for landing I flick a switch and the flaps drop if I'm below 15% throttle. This only works on FM0 so even if I forget it's not to bad. WHy have them activated by throttle as well? if you have to go around, having flaps down can really slow your progress!

If you set it to a specific flight mode, and switch for flaps you should be pretty good. Just set each aileron to to be the master of each flap. It takes a bit of phaffing to get the the point where it's just dialling in, but start with getting your programming right to do what you want, and then dial in the amount of slaved flap you need.


hope that helps.

You will need to have flight modes engaged, I have a DSx9 which I believe is the same as the Jr 9x series.

Once the flight modes are activated you will need to set mixes up so that on flight mode 3 or which ever one you want the flaps will act with the ailerons, and on the other flight modes they act as normal flaps. remember to switch back to landing flight mode before engaging flaps though otherwise you will overload the servo's

Its like 9pm here and I got work in the morning so some kind soul might give you a more detailed step by step explanation, if not I will try and write one tomorrow.

This may work on your transmitter if it is similar to the US 9303. I hope the nomenclature for the two transmitters are the same. On the 9303 the problem with using the flaps as ailerons is that you can’t trim them with the aileron trim control. You can set them up to be trim by the AUX TRIM but that is awkward. Also, this setup uses the 3-position FLAP switch to control the flight modes.</p>

In DeviceSEL set FLIGHT MODE input to FLAP SW. Inhibit the output of two channels, other than the FLAP channel. Use AUX3 as one of the inhibited channels. If you are not using it, the GEAR channel is a good choice for the other inhibited channel. Leave the output of the FLAP channel as SYS.</p>

In Wing TYPE menu set the WING: to NORMAL. Dual/mate the AILE channel to one of the inhibited channels (not AUX3). Dual/mate FLAP to AUX3. IF you wish to use the AUX TRIM as the aileron trim for the flaps, activate the TRIM under FLAP. (AUX3 is the only channel that AUX TRIM works on.)</p>

In the Function List go to FLAP SYS. menu and set up the flaps such that there is no flap deflection for NORM. NORM is also your flight mode 0. Set the flaps and elevator positions for MID and LAND. Leave FM0:, FM1:, and FM2 set to SW.</p>

Go to a linear program mix and mix AILE &gt; FROL. Leave the values for Pos0 as 0%. Set the values for Pos1 to 100%. Leave the Offset as 0. Set only FM0 switch on the bottom row to Pos1.</p>
