Futaba T10J / R3008SB/FHSS Flap setup with two servos
Hello guys
I have been trying to set up flaps on my plane for at few days now, but i can't figure it out.
I have the following configuration :
Transmitter : Futaba T10J
Receiver : R3008SB/FHSS (mode 1 / eight channel configuration)
Plane :Multiplex Fun Cup
1 Servo for Elevator
1 Servo for Rudder
1 Servo for Tow release
2 servos for Alirons
2 Servos for Flaps
1 Throttle
I have everything working but the flaps, so any help getting it fixed would be welcome 8-)

Hello again
What i am trying to do is to set up flaps with on two channels and bind them to a three way button (E)
I have one servo in channel 6 (this is working as supposed, and i have the second one in channel 5 (Would like channel 5 to mimic channel 6)
I hope this make some sense.
I am comming from a Multiplex evo 9 and the way you do things on the Futaba is very different.

Hi All,
I am trying to set up for flaperons. I have set up by plugging the left aileron into ail ch 1 and the right into aux ch 6.
I then went into the T10J and activated the flaperons and then designated the flap switch in aux 6.
Everything works but the functions are reversed. The aileron stick operates the flaps and the flap switch operates the ailerons.
I tried swapping the aileron plugs but that just reversed the aileron direction. (right roll to left roll)
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Thanks for the hit Bill.
I wish it was that easy. It's not the direction of travel that's the problem. The switching is reversed. The aileron stick is controlling the flaps instead of the ailerons.
I've gone through pages 106 - 107 and have hooked and programmed everything as directed. It mentions nothing about my problem that I could see.

OK, I need a little more info. Exactly how are you controlling the flaps. You mention a "flap switch". Describe exactly how you are doing things.
The flaps should be controlled by the knob (VR) in the center front of the TX.

From what I understand, the flaps are controlled by the VR rotary knob if the flaps are separate from the ailerons. In my case, I am using the ailerons also as flaps so they are electronically mixed together. The left aileron is plugged into ch1 and the right aileron is plugged into ch6. That enables me to activate the "flaperons" so that the ailerons function normally but they both can also vector downwards to create the flap effect but while they are down, they can still work as ailerons.
I am using Mode 2 so the ailerons are operated by the right stick gimbal going left and right. The flaps are being operated by "Switch C" which is the 3 way switch just above the aileron stick.
I hope that makes sense.

Then you are using Flaperon+Air brake. The adjustments are then done in the air brake menu. Both Flaperon and Air brake need to be active. If using just flaperon alone you use the VR knob to adjust the deflection down. Then you do the adjustments in the flaperon menu.

I don't know why but the airbrake mix gives me only 2 choices. Either INH or Off.
I did make some percentage corrections in the flaperon screen. Flap 1 was at -100% and I changed it to +100%. Flap 2 was already at +100%.
Also, both ailerons were at +100% left and +100% right. I changed aileron 2 to -100% left and -100% right.
Now, everything is working as it's supposed to. I don't know why it's working with the airbrakes mix on INH but that's the only choice it gives me other than Off.

I made most of the adjustments in the Flaperon menu. The only one I made in the Airbrake menu was the switch throw direction. I needed the Airbrakes on switch up and the flaps on switch down. It was opposite at first. Thank you for your assistance!
