flap & aileron settings DX6i

I have not had good luck trying to use flaperons and flaps. The single attempt was a real dog never to be repeated. *I* would 'Y' the ailerons and use the flap channel for the flaps. But then folks accuse me of being a stick in the mud.

I would put a Y cable on the aileron servos, connect the flaps to the flap channel on the transmitter.

Interesting, as I've heard in person and read on forums it's better to haev two servos so that differential can be used to help aileron rolls not turn into barrel rolls.

I think I'll just stick with the flaps on the gear channel and 2nd aileron on aux. I used the radio's dual aileron mode. I now have flaps and/or flaperons. And on the flaperons, I can set the amount of flap, so experimenting here can be brought in little by little to determine any bad characteristics. But that's for later. First flights will be flaps only. In fact, the very first flights will be flaps always.

Now I'm just working on getting all the throws correct and even. No rush there as weather is moving in just in time for my days off. Still gotta put in expo.
