Default Using Futaba 7C with flaps

Hoping someone can help me out here, the book isnt that much help. I have a Futaba 7C radio and a plane that has 4 servos in the wing, 2 ailerons and 2 flaps. I am guessing that I am going to have to use a Y cable for either the aileron servos or the flap servos. Does it matter which way I do it? Can someone explain this to me so I know whats going on?

Thanks

Chris,
Use the flapperon option for dual aireron servos. Right aileron is channel one and left aileron is channel six. Inhibit the flapperon function and use a Y cable on the flap servos. Since you have dual aileron servos, you can program aileron differential to cancel reverse yaw.

This is not going so well. All I need is to flip a switch and the flaps come down and I get some down elevator with it to keep the plane from ballooning. I can get the flaps to drop using a switch but cant get down elevator mixed into it. Any ideas?

You have to use another mix to link elevator to the flaps. Flaps must be the master.
