Santa gave me a Picolario and installing it in a glider controlled by a Stylus has me partially stumped. The Picolario needs to be installed on a receiver channel that can have three positions, +100%, neutral and -100%, either proportional or a three-position switch. I canât find a way to control channel 7 or 8 (spoiler and gear) with a three position switch. Any of you Stylus gurus out there able to give me advice?

 

Worst case Iâll install it on the rudder channel with a Y connector. Not perfect, but workable.

Actually, it only needs two positions.  You can plug it into channel 7 and use the flap/spoiler stick to interrogate it.  I set it up to automatically announce altitude every 60 seconds in normal flight mode.  A quick blip of the flap/spoiler stick will give you an announcement at any time.
 
When a 3 position switch is used, the 3rd position is used to silence the unit.  Of course this is not necessary, since you can simply switch off the walkie-talkie unit if you don't want to hear it.
 
 
Good luck,
Lenny
