Don't know if this applies, but your e-mail reminded me of this
document I received from Airtronics:
RD8000
Procedure for Obtaining Separate FLAP and AILERON Servos with
CROW for Sailplanes:
First select the "etc" Channel using the FUNCTION CH + key. Press the
Function \/ Down key to scroll
down to SPOIR (Spoiron) and make it ACTive using the INC+/YES key.
Aileron output will be on
Channels #2 and #6 servos. Elevator is on Channel #1 and Rudder on
Channel #4 servo. Press the
END key once to return to STW in the "etc" Channel at the top of the menu.
Press the Function \/ Down key and select C-MIX 1. Use the INC +/YES
key to set MAS to TH
(throttle). Press the Function \/ Down key once and set SLV (Slave) to
GE (Gear). Press the Function
\/ Down key and set T>G mixing to +100%. Note that this value
determines the throw of the Channel
#5 Flap Servo. Place the C-MIX 1 Switch located above the Throttle
Gimbal to the ON (upper) position
and leave it there at all times. Press the END key once to return to
the STW screen.
Use the < CH – key and select the G (Gear) Channel. Place the Landing
Gear switch which is located on
the top supper left of the transmitter towards you, and leave it there
at all times. Press the Function \/
Down key to select EPA. Check to see that it reads –125%. If it does
not, set it using the DEC-/NO key.
You can use the Gear Servo REV(Reverse) to reverse the direction of
Channel #5 Flap servo.
Press the < CH – key and select TH (Throttle) EPA. Place the Throttle
stick at the extreme LOW
position and set a value of 100%. Move the Throttle stick to HIGH and
set a value of 100%. Note that
these are starting values. The Throttle EPA determines the throw of
Channel #3 Flap Servo. You can
use the Throttle servo REV(Reverse) to reverse the direction of the
Channel #3 Flap Servo.
Press the END key once. Use the CH +> key to select the "etc" Channel.
Next use the Function \/ Down
key and scroll to CR:LA (CROW Left Aileron). Set a trial value of 50%
using the INC+/YES key.
Press the Function \/ Down key once and select CR:RA (CROW Right
Aileron). Set the same trial
value. Press the END key once. Setup is complete. Fine-tune your setup
using the C-MIX 1 screen, TH
Channel Screen, and Servo Reversing as necessary.
can be used for Tow release, or Retracting Landing Gear on a scale sailplane.
