Default Programming flaps

I hope this is the correct forum. I recently purchased a Futaba 9CAP Super. I am having a problem with programming in flaps for a BTE FlyingKing. I had managed to get the flaps working with switch C, but made some other changes and now, no flaps. Servos are working, correctly pinned together. I have Flaperons active (if not, only 1 aileron works).I tried going to Program C which controls flaps and elev. I understand I want a bit of down E with flaps. That makes sense. I have flaps on CH 6 as directed in the manual. No activation. I have been playing with many combinations....I have even "rebooted" the said plane under 'execute' and tried starting over. No luck. So, if anyone out there has a solution to what I am NOT doing or what I am doing WRONG it would be very helpful. Please e-mail a response to me: [email protected].
Many thanks.

Default RE: Programming flaps

I would make sure you have the flap switch assigned to the right channel. I use the V-E switch for it here, so I can get them with my finger without taking thumbs off of the sticks. Go into the Aux-CH program on the 2nd page of the basic menu, and make sure that you have channel 6 assigned to whatever switch you want to use there. That should make the flaps work regardless of the flaperon setting.

Then one of the P-Mixes in the advanced menu can be used to trim the elevator when you use the flaps. You will just have to make sure the right channel number is entered in the mix. (sometimes it will say flap for say chan 5, but youre really using it on 6, have to make sure) However, I would fly it first before setting up the mix, as some planes dont need it.

Hope that helps....
