Hi John
I believe the problem you are talking about is the V-tail glitch that was fixed with a modified chip. This caused one side of the ruddervator to have no compensation is Butterfly. I have never heard a problem with flaps in Butterfly.
The untold secret is the OFS function that allows you to change the center of the servo electronically giving you 90 deg. flap travel. You can read about this on my 9C set up page which was graciously published for me on the Soaring index.

Subject: [RCSE] Futaba 9C
I've had a 9C for two years now and I've always struggled to get full flaps
in Butterfly. I've had all kinds of workarounds involving offsets, longer
servo arms, travel volume, etc.
I finally called Futaba to ask about the situation and they told me to send
the radio in; there is a software update that fixes the problem. I was
surprised! Anyone else hear of this?
