Using FLAPERON (ACRO):

The FLAPERON mixing function uses one servo on each of the two ailerons, and uses them
for both aileron and flap function. For flap effect, the ailerons raise/lower simultaneously.
Of course, aileron function (moving in opposite directions) is also performed.

Once FLAPERON is activated, any time you program CH6 or "Flap" (ie. FLAP-ELEVATOR mixing), the radio commands both
servos to operate as flaps. A trimming feature is also available (see FLAP-TRIM) to adjust both neutral positions together

for straight-and-level flight or slight increases/decreases of the flap angle.

END POINT and SUB-TRIM both still adjust each servo individually.

FLAPERON programming.

Where next?

Open the FLAPERON function.

Activate the function.

Optional: adjust the aileron
differential.(Ex: +10%)

Optional: If using a 5 channel
receiver, change AIL-2 from CH6

Second aileron servo (AIL-2): The default for the second aileron servo is CH6 and this allows both servos to work
as ailerons and flaps. If CH5 or CH7 is selected the flap function only works CH6, and the two aileron servos
function only as ailerons except in the air brake (A. BRAKE) function. In the air brake function the flap servo CH6
and the aileron servos CH1 and (CH5 or CH7) work together.
