• Twin aileron servos are a very beneficial set up
which allows the modeler more precise control
and adjustment of the aileron response of the
model, as well as providing “flaperons” — the
movement of both aileron servos in the same
direction at the same time to act as flaps.
• Plug the right aileron servo into channel 1 and
the left aileron servo into channel 6. Notice
that moving the aileron stick moves only the
right aileron servo.
• Activate the flaperon feature with dip switch #9.
Note that both aileron servos now move with the
aileron stick. Check the servo direction for both
servos and adjust as required.
• The two aileron servos now operate in unison,
creating flap action when the flap knob is turned.
This feature is always active, so take care not to
move this knob accidentally in flight. See page
19 for instructions on using the flap control lever.
• This radio cannot support two aileron servos on separate receiver channels AND a separate flap servo at the same time. If your model
requires both twin aileron servos and flaps, you must use a y-harness to drive the two aileron servos. Also note that this radio cannot
support a flaperon-to-elevator mix. If you have flaperons active, the flap-to-elevator pot sets up aileron differential, not a mix.
