I would like to set up flaps that move a certain percentage when I flip a switch to center, and then move more when I flip the same switch full down? Can you help me?
Yes, we'll start as if you had nothing set up yet.
- The first thing you would need to do is set up your model as 2Ail+2Flp.
- Now go to Camber mix and make this active.
- Cursor over to your RATE and set Ail as +100% on Rate 1 and Ail2 as +100% on Rate 1.
- Hit RTN to back out and cursor to FLAP, press RTN and set your flaps as you did in the above step.
- Press RTN and then tap MDL twice.
- You can now go back in and set any Elevator rates if you desire.
We need to go in and create two Offset mixes with both of these on the same switch but with different rates.
- Go into your Prog. Mix menu, scroll down to Mix 1, and tap RTN, use your finger to scroll to the 2nd page and activate this mix.
- Now scroll down to Master and select H/W Select. When you do this it will take you to the Switch Selection page. For reference I used Switch G for my mix.
- Once you have selected the switch that you want to be the "master" of this mix.
- Scroll down to Slave and select Flap. To the right of the slave channel you will see the word OFF, you will want to highlight this and using the cursor, change this to a plus sign (+). This is your Link option and what this does is it tells both flaps that if this switch does something to one flap, it needs to do it to both flaps.
Now go back up to the top of this page and to the right of your ACT selection, you will see two dashes (- -), tap RTN and go into this menu.
- This is the menu where you will select the On/Off selection for the switch you chose for your flap operation.
- Simply scroll down to the 3 position switch of your choice (for our use, we set ours to SG) press the RTN button to select the switch, then cursor over to ON/OFF. Tap RTN once and you will be in the screen to select the switch position to activate the flaps. We chose the Center Position as On.
- Tap MDL twice to take you back to the Model menu.
Okay, now we have the switch and its action selected, let's go back to the first screen and set the amount of percentage that you want the flap to drop at the first of the switch positions.
- Using the Cursor, go back to your first page and at the very bottom you will see LINEAR v +0%. Leaving this as Linear, scroll over to the percentage and tap RTN. You may now use the cursor to change the amount of flap drop that you want.
- When you are done tap RTN again and then tap S1 and RTN to take you back to the Prog. Mix page. And let's create the next mix.
Follow the steps above to create a 2nd Offset mix, but this time you will do this in Mix 2, instead of Mix 1. And when you get to the point of selecting your switch position, you will want to set this to the "down" position.
- In this 2nd Offset mix, you will want to set the Linear rate to add more action than the first Offset mixes rate. For instance if you set the first rate to 50% you would want to set the second to 75% or 100%.
When you get these simple Offset mixes done, what you will have is normal action on all controls. With the use of your switch G, you will have 50% down flap in the Center position, and 75% down with switch G in the full Down position.
