I was really struggling with my flaps setup until I watched your video. Thank You Much. You really saved me a lot of time.

Love your series. Thinking Of The Draco, How about a video of config on TX16
with or without the Spectrum Rx. Particularly need the reverse option, but want to use my TX16. I Don't need another Spectrum radio.

Impeccable timing, this afternoon I took a scalpel to my Radian wings and made flaps...

[leonardcooper]

I'm not sure why you used offset to switch to make it the opposite direction and didn't use negative values on the weight. Appreciate the work and effort to help us!

[Tallguysrc]

Thank you so much again learning new stuff every day

[gestoge]

Thanks to your instructions I finally managed to set flaps on my TUNDRA . Is there a way to make them unfold a little bit less ? The first stage looks acceptable but at the second stage they stop right under the wings.

[geoffdell]

Thanks for the video. Very useful. One question....how to do set the flaps on the same SE switch but have the zero flap position back toward the front of the transmitter, the opposite position to the way set in the video. I've tried reversing the servo but that doesn't seem to work. I'd really appreciate some guidance. Thanks

Just purchased a TX16s mk2 running Edgetx 2.7.1. Followed these instructions and can only get 2 positions. Flaps up and half. The third position is dead? I am new to this radio and edgetx. What am I doing wrong? Great video series by the way. Cheers from NZ

Great tutorial, helped me a lot. Thank you very much :-) Happy flying :-)

[afilos]

Nice! How would you set it up to adjust flaps on the fly with the throttle trim buttons on different flight modes when you are using flaperons setup?

[brownie]

I was wondering if it is possible to set up a trim of the elevator only when deploying flaps. Then everything goes back to where it was as soon as the flaps are back up. This would be awesome for maidens.

[spartan]

Thanks so much. I had blindly done about the same thing, but I didn't understand the mechanics so it took a long time fiddling.

Hi i have the futura 64mm edf jet its states wing type is 1aileron and 1 flap how can i set this up on the tx16s ?

[williamcox]

Nice information to know. Thanks for the great snippet. Good work John.

[larrycung]

Your video was very informative, but I am still unable to set up flaps correctly. My flaps would just become slightly delayed when I try to slow them down. I was also unable to control how much they travel as they would only go from neutral to max throw. Any tips?

[tavila]

Was wondering if you may be able to help me out? I'm running a Flysky FS-IA6B receiver with a TX16s transmitter. My FMS T28 has the ailerons and flaps wired with Y cables. How do I get my flaps to go in the same direction? It works for my ailerons but obviously not for my flaps. I will watch the video again, but any help would be appreciated. Also, I can't flip or install the servo any other way without doing some modification.

[NormanLedoyen]

John, in the configuration you are showing here can you put both servos on a Y harness yet configure each servo separately before hand?

[proprotornut]

Excellent tutorial. Very easy to understand. Thanks. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[vaamorais]

Thank you for the video. Always a pleasure to listen to your explanations. Good idea to use sliders to adjust flaps on the fly if you want.
I will try that to fine tune the Gyro gain of my heli during the maiden flight.
Maybe you know another way to achieve the same?
Thanks

[jerryzito]

Thanks for the great video. Is your flap setup based on separate servos or Y harness?
