Oops - sent last email before it was cooked. It's time to change the
subject anyway. So once you've got the servos plugged into the correct
channels and the flap mix worked out, you can use the 3 pos switch to
set the camber and reflex. Note that camber is only going to work on
the ailerons, as we chose to use the throttle for actuating the flaps.
Set reflex by putting the 3pos switch in the normal position (not the
center position) - and adjusting the aileron and PF CNT (ch's 2&6) for
what you like for reflex. Move the 3pos switch to center and use the
FLAP EPA to center the ailerons - then use the other FLAP EPA to set
camber. I do not like the 3pos switch on the right so I moved it to
the left side and flipped it over so the away position is reflex just
like the stylus. This is the recommended switch arrangement for helis
(3pos on left). Unfortunately, you cannot get a launch preset for the
flaps. I tried using the gear switch and cmix2 G->THR but it only
moves one flap as the mixes are not pass-thru (they mix channel->
channel not function -> function). You can get elevator comp mix for
the flaps using the throttle-> elevator mix. One item you might find
trouble with is the operation of the on-off slide switch on the left
side labeled CMIX1-2,AUX1. I was confused if this switch was used for:

1. Aileron-> Rudder Mix ON/OFF
2. AUX1 HI-> LO
3. CMIX1 or 2 ON/OFF

It turns out if does all 3. It definitely turns on/off aileron to
rudder mix. It also turns on/off BOTH CMIX1 AND CMIX2.
I can't see that it actually activates AUX1 to either high or low but
it does select AUX1 high or low when setting the EPA for ch7. The
switch on the right does the same for AUX2.
Why is this important? If you're using either CMIX full time, you need
to leave the left side switch in the up positon at all times. If you
turn it off with this setup, the slave flap on aux2 goes down.
You can't turn AI-RU mix off without turning off cmixes either. Not
well thought out at all.  Oh well.
So because of the camber and launch setup limitations, this is not
really a useable setup for TD, but is fine for a 2A2FER slope plane. I
plan on copying this setup to use on a full-house electric (using the
gear channel for the throttle).
