Ryan,

This is a most interesting comment.  If you can make a radio do this I would
love to know how. I have seen the ability to address both flaps
independently as a key divider between radio classes.

Radios like the Hitec Optic 6, Futaba 7C, the JR 6102 and now the JR 7202
and the DX7 are highly capable radios that do now support a 4 servo wing.
If that can be overcome via some mix process I would really like to know how
to do it.  Then you could trim them independently AND have the flaps follow
the ailerons for lower drag roll input.

I help a lot of new flyers and this would be very useful in setting up their
planes.

Ed,

I would not go that far.  I read through the DX7 manual, and it has
6 "free mixes".  With free mixes you can do things like manually
setup dual flaps or manually setup aileron to flap mixing.  Granted,
it might not be as functional from a contest glider perspective as
something like the 9303, but I suspect you could run a 6 servo glider
using this transmitter.
