Regarding 8103 programming, I figured something out over last weekend that I was
baffled by at the time. This is a full house glider with dual flaps, so I
enabled that in the model select mode (hold up & down keys while turning it
on). Then in the regular menus, I disabled all the flap trim pots. I used the
Butteryfly menu to set my landing mode: adjusted my flaps to go down, my
ailerons to go up, and my elevator to go down with the spoiler stick. This all
worked great.
Then I wanted to do a launch preset - a specified amount of down flaps on the
flap mix switch. When I engaged the flap down switch, I got 45 degrees of down
flap and for the life of me I could not figure out how to change this. I
expected there to be a menu somewhere that would let me select the switch and
the amount of flap travel, or maybe a flap offset, which is used in other
menus. No such setting exists!
I finally stumbled onto the answer: use the flap travel adjust to set the
amount of down flaps for flap mix down. (You can also set the flap up travel to
go with the flap mix switch up for preset reflex). This didn't make sense to me
as it implies you are limiting the amount of flap travel. But you are only
limiting it for the flap mixing switch. The spoiler->flap mixing on the
Butterfly menu overrides this setting when you go into landing mode (Butteryfly
switch forward at 0). Go figure.
Now, 8103 masters, suppose I want my ailerons to do the same thing as my flaps?
In other words, I want full TE camber with my launch preset. How do I get the
ailerons to droop the same amount as my flaps when I hit the launch preset (flap
mix down) switch?
