Flaps Setup - DX6i and AR500 using Flap Switch instead of gear switch 

Thanks a million!! And having the flap switch not go as far the as the gear switch, gives you dual rates on the flaps! Cool!

Well set tutorial, nice !

Thanks man! I was having trouble cuz I'm thinking of adding flaps on my model but now I definitely will cuz of this awesome dual rates! Thanks a million!

Wow amazing I would have never figured this out on my own. Thanks. Now I can fly my b-17 with all of the functions avalible :)

I did exactly what you said to do and it works, however, I have no clue what exactly I was doing! Lol thank God for RU-vid!

wooooonderful you just solved a problem i was having thanks man!!!

If you want to get the most throw on your flaps, go into the TRAVEL ADJ setting on the DX6I and set it to 125%.

Thank you for posting this!!!

Thanks, useful.

Ok - this setup is if you don't want to unplug your flap servos from receiver's Ch5 (gear) and plug them into correct Flaps Channel (Aux). What I don't get is why there is a separate Flaps menu item in the DX6i setup, in addition to the Travel setup for Aux channel. Always been hard getting clear "why's" of the DX6i setups - the manual certainly doesn't explain things well. It tells what you can do, but not why. I am always seeking better explanations.

cheers mate

Lets see if you are still out there? I have an E-flite Valiant and a DX6i. the Valiant uses a AR631 with Safe and AS3X. The flaps move when the plane initializes but after that I can't get them to work. Can you have flaps with safe and AX3x (and the DX6i)

where did you put flap servos ? is it on the gear channel? or aux channel ?

@15jwilli - you'll have to use the roller and click it on the "thro" word. then roll the roller until it shows what you want. Does this help?

Hi how about allowance on the elevator when flaps are downRegards

Im using the 1 position flap setting with flap switch because i have retracts on my cdorsair which i use gear switch for..Is there a way i can do a 2 position flap setting on dx6i ?

Now hit your gear switch and the flaps will go all the way down with or without flap sw on al

OK.
