Hi
Now for a new challenge.I need the three position switch to switch a fy 30a flight stabilizer too 3 positions.so there are no rates involved but some how sends a different signal at each switch?? If you look at the setup for the stabilizer what I am trying to do can be seen.I have followed the above for flaps and have made this work in the past but cannot get it to activate the stabilizer.Any suggestions.I have tried setting the rates to 100% on both switches but no luck. I don't profess to understand what some of the above mixes are all about I just copy them as posted
Thank all
DT

Trying to figure out 3 stage flaps with retracts. Searched but could only succeed in getting 3 stage flaps using gear mix, which works fine except it reverses the flaps channels when gear is deployed.

Using all 8 channels:
1: aileron 1
2: elev
3: Throttle
4: Rud
5: gear
6: flap 1
aux1: aileron 2
aux2: flap 2

Has anyone figured this out, or is ER9x the only option?

Set up the 3 stage flaps as described earlier in the thread. Go to the Aux-Ch menu again and set Ch5 (if that's the Rx channel you have the gear servo plugged in to) to "gear". The front RH switch on the top of the TX will cycle the gear servo. Reverse if you need to.

In regard to the 3 stage flaps, if you want the flaps up with the 3 position switch in the default position then set the switch in mixer 1 to "ID2" and in mixer 3 to "nor".

Great guide but could someone give me a hint on how to use two servos for flaps where one of them must be reversed?

They will be on two different channels, say 5 and 6. Simply reverse the one you need to.

Thank you. Sounds simple but I'm not sure I understand the basics. The instruction is to use channel 7 for both the servos. Using two channels I need to have the TX to understand that they're linked together in the mix. Sorry for my newbie questions.

My preference is to use 2 channels so that the trims can be altered easily by the Tx without needing to mess about with the linkages.

However, there a several ways to reverse one servo when 2 are joined by a Y cable and connected to one Rx channel. You can reverse the orientation of the servo in the wing if the model can accommodate that. You can buy a device that inserts in the cable that does it. You can take the servo apart and reverse wires inside.

There's a thread here I noticed that discusses options http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5074&PID=202347#202347

Thanks again. In this case it's a Bixler 2 model and one of the servos for flaps need to be reversed. I could carve out some foam to flip the servo around but I'd rather reverse it in my TX. If it's possible to use reverse in TX I guess that would be a smarter solution than buying the signal-reverse-cable.
