<DIV><FONT size=2>Excellent Idea. This is totally awesome! I'd
probably tie max elevator and ailerons to rudder, since I like to do stall turns
on high rate rudder. If you wean me off of rate switches I'll
definitely buy you lunch when we meet. I am going to see if I
can do it on the 10X, although not as direct, that is.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=956413003-28052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
ended up purchasing the Futaba ZAP over the PCM10X of a number of reasons. My
main reason was the Futaba allowed me to activate a flight mode via any of the
4 primary channels i.e. thr-elev-rud-ail. The JR only allows flight modes to
be activated by switches.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

have basically set-up a flight mode to activate on either full up or full down
elevator. This flight mode activates high rate ail - rud. This solution works
well for me especially in the P03 and F03 schedules. No need to flick switches
during the flight any more.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Georgie,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm really sorry you are having difficulty with
programming, I'll be happy to show you next time we see each other.
Never having done airbrake before (if you mean both ailerons up
like when landing), I just turned it on and programmed it with the
following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>W</FONT><FONT size=2>ith the airbrake coming on at low
throttle like when landing, here are the following steps (assuming you
have wing type set to flaperon):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Pick a mix (I used 51) select throttle --->
flap. Go to "ORIG". then page back and hit the offset (I normally
give it two clicks of throttle) then enter the percent mix (that you want
the ailerons to go up). Ooops, wrong direction ailerons are going
down, just hit the "turn" button. Done! Want to turn it on/off
with any switch? Just hit the page button and select one. BTW,
"ORIG" is used so that if you have to make trim changes to
throttle, it won't effect the mix, just takes the raw stick movement.
Norm, is normal stick and trim and INCL adds in everything you have tied to
it (like mixes). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Don't want associated airbrakes with throttle stick
position? Then just do the same 51, and mix gear to flaps (or any free
channel to flap), and you're there. Bump up the % to where you want
it. Done. In fact you can assign this to most any (gear, aux
2, aux 3, aux 4, aux 5) switch/lever by assigning therefore, and then
going to your favorite code 17, disactivating the (master mix
channel).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Switch assignment- mixes can be assigned to any of your
switch/lever of choice (E-F, MD, LD, MX, AU, GR, SNP, and stick
position).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Its harder to describe than to just dive in and program
with the touch screen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The 5 flight modes that are available can be used for
different setups (if you want to experiment trying different combinations
during a flight for example) Its an incredibly potent radio. BTW, To
get the extra two rates, go to your favorite function 17 and select "extra"
and you'll see FM3 and FM4 appear in your Dual Rate/Expo (Code
13).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've set up 5 flight modes before. For example on my TOC
plane I have normal flying (F0), 4 roll circles (F1), One roll circles (F2),
3D/ Freestyle (F3), and alternate 3D/ Freestyle (F4). Note for the
back right switch, it gives you F0, F3 and F4, so you can always go back you
your baseline F0 with just one switch movement. Transmitter beeps if
you turn it on and switch rate position is other than F0.. Useful if
you don't want to take off in 3D mode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I will say, however, its up to personal preferences.
For example, on my pattern plane, I prefer just one switch (the aileron D/R)
for changing all (Ail, elev, rudder) rates from low to high. I make
the centers the same (double expo on high) so I can switch rates during a
maneuver, in fact even during a (loose) loop radius, and it will have the
same feel and not "jerk" when I change rates. If I could get by with
just one rate and no switches at all, I would. Chip does. Some
pattern plane designs are already there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>BTW, still have the double moose can muffler (as a
spare)that I made from your great idea in case the multi $$ ES pipe
fails.</FONT></DIV>
