DX6: How to set up Crow & Camber on ANY 5 or 6 channel plane 

Best video to show crow set up. I have had crow before on my glider but due to some wiring issues had to start from scratch again your video was very clear

Douglas, this was the best video I've found for this process. Clear and easy to follow. I also was able to set up Crow on my Phoenix 2000. I'm looking forward to trying it later today.

Doug you explained that very well. I nearly had it worked out myself but you have saved me from a trial and error session! I'm going to put it on my Phoenix 1600 that I will use as a pure slope glider. Thanks again.

Perfect, I'm experimenting with a Flite Test Storch, I set it up just as you explained, works Great! The quality of you video is extremely good, the audio is very clear and your voice and diction are excellent. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks.

thanks for posting this video. Six years old but still relevant.

Awesome video. I was wondering how to set this stuff with a 6-channel radio. Nice presentation.

Douglas, thank you very much for your video instruction. It's the best I've ever seen for this matter.

Best explanation and directions I have come across. Much appreciated.

Thanks for posting this video, I have a Roc Hobby V tail glider and love it. however it takes a lot of runway to land as you can imagine it floats forever... there was a new pilot at our club last week with a powered glider. when he showed Crow working I was sold on setting mine up which I have done today thanks to your video... I can't wait to try it on our next day at the field thanks to the straightforward instructions you give...used on Lemon Rx no problem... Great stuff Thank you

I worked this out with you tonight. It works! Thank you for your blue-collar tutorial.

Thanks for the video. Well done. Set up one glider per your instructions. Piece of cake. Now 5 more to do.

Thanks Douglas easy to follow and understand! Nice demonstration

Sir, thank you so much for putting this video out there, I followed your instructions and everything worked great. The only change I made was to use the throttle channel into the crow mix as I don't have a motor so I didn't have to worry about that channel.. This allows me to gradually bring in more crow, versus a sudden impulse. My camber I did like you and put it on a switch.

Great job Doug, I might try this out.

Doug, like Roger I'm using a DX9 and also a Heron. I like this way of doing it since I can keep the throttle on the left stick. Thanks a ton!

omg its the famous Douglas "Son, a friendly word of advice" Snyder

Thank You! Trying this out this morning.

Excellent explanation, easy to follow, will try on my conscendo.

This was an excellent explanation. Thank you. It's exactly what I wanted to know.

-Nice instructional video. 👍

Doug... You are my Hero! Thanx.

Great job Douglas. I will watch this video again and again. Until I have achieved the task.

Thank you for making this video. I subscribed.👍🏻🙂

great job,it works a treat thanks.

Just setup crow and camber exactly same as yours on one three position switch saving one switch thanks for excellent video which gave me the idea I just put it on separate positions on one switch

Brilliant video. I'm getting an mpx heron next week but I can't afford a new dx8 so thanks to you I can keep my trusty dx6! Can you programme full span ailerons or I guess the flaps would have to be plugged into separate channels

great video, well explained

Good Video. Easy to follow step by step... Now just have to see if I can get as3x and SAFE to work with this format. At least it leaves me with 2 spare channels on my NX8 to program gain and as3X switching. If you have a 2 flap, 2 ail config you can program camber and crow on the NX series using the crow feature (flap setup) but even with an 8 channel TX and RX there is only one spare channel and as3x setup cannot be completed.... Unless others know of a work around?

I am intending to try this with a FsFly Ti8 and rad pro very soon

Thanks for this I have a dx9 but only an ar6600t rx so I think this might work for my multiplex heron

Thank You for this video.. What do you suggest for starting settings for aileron and flaps? Thanks...

Is there a way to slow down the crow action like there is when programming the speed of deployment of flaps?

Hi Doug I would like to setup flaperone (up-deflection instead of down deflection) on a V-Tail hotliner . is it possible ?

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, been a few years! AS3X assumes ailerons are on the same channel, how do you address that when putting an aileron on another channel? Disable AS3X or just let it control one wing for it's stabilization? I'm planning to do flaperons on my AeroScout and assumed I would have to deactivate AS3X or hope that AS3X would do its job when only controlling one wing aileron. Also, I didn't see you add the "LAL". Did you do that with a mix from the "RAL"? How are you controlling the RAL using a mix from the LAL? Did it create that when you created the model with 2 ailerons and one flap?

Awesome. Would like to see how you set crow in case of using FMS reflex gyro. Is that possible?! Btw I am using 8 channels so problem in number of channels

Interesting video. The only thing that I don’t understand how you manage to not having the flaps to go opposite direction of each others. Since they are on a Y cable, the left flap go up and the right go down by default for my default flap system. When I put the MIX when I change the Rate value for ON > FLP on flap go up and the other one down (+ or -). Any suggestions?

I am a beginner with a DX6...I just picked up a Pulse 15e low wing ( without flaps / with outboard ailerons ) the plane lands very fast and wants to glide a long way to land .....how can I add a position switch ( to be used on landing ) having both outboard ailerons pop up as spoilers , but still maintain my normal aileron control ( the current Rx is the Spektrum AS3X , but I also have a Lemon 6 channel I could install ).......thanks much

Thanks

I'm trying to figure out how to do this with a 8 channel. It won't give me a flap setting when I have it on powered glider

Excellent video do you know if you can get crow and camber on one three position switch ?

Thanks for the video and the great tips. Can any DX6 transmitter talk? I have a DX6E transmitter. Can I get it to tell me what I'm doing?

I've got the rx channels set up like you said and all 3 of the mixes programmed into my DX9 and I've gone over everything several times but the flaps move opposite of each other like ailerons. Any idea of what's wrong?

Thanks so much setting up a DX6 glider with flaps and lemon RX, one thing is there a way to use the stability of the lemon RX with this setup?

What are your mix setting for the Radian? You said you exaggerated them, but I don't see what they are actually set at.

can I do this with an AR636A?

2024: Now the factory receivers don't have plug ins like this and this function cant be done.

I did everything as you say on this video, but in my E-Flite Turbo Timber EFL15250 with AR636B Receiver it doesn't work weel, it means, In "CROW" Mode the Wright Aileron also MOOVES. YES, i configured Aircraft Type as "2 Ailerons/1Flap", "left Ailereon" on "6", Flaps on "5", "Mixes" as You say and so on..... After you changed the "AIRCRAFT TYPE" from "1Ail/1Flap" to "2Ail/1Flap" did you not change the respective "Channel Assign"? "Flaps" from "6" to "5"? I think so, isn't it I think it's "something" that "is escaping me", could you please help me? Thank you very much
