Yeah Bill,
<br>That's exactly what I've been doing with all these goodies.I don't
know if you know this fellow personally, but he's a very special individual.I
once was critical of his execution of a specific maneuver and his responce
was to request more criticism. Seriously. How many guys are that big? Not
me, that's for sure. I love this guy!

<br>For the Futaba guys, there is still the delete button, but my guess
is that many folks will do what I do; print it out and place a hard copy
in my "technical" file.

read your mind, its exactly as I've been practicing..</font> <font size=-1>OK,
I still have not picked up the manual so here it goes. Thanks for
having me check this as I now know more about the radio as a result!</font>
<font size=-1>Here is the 3 step process: First, select code 51 and
go Gear(5)---->flap(6). Second, enter the % you want them to go up into-
50% Pos 1, for example. Finally, hit "page" and select "E-F".
Done. Just leave your gear switch forward and the "flap" switch will
turn on and off your airbrake.</font> <font size=-1>Now, if still curious,
you can do so much more as well. recall the "flap" switch is a 3 way switch.
You have the option of having it kicking in any of the 3 positions of the
switch, or different airbrake rates for each switch position- You can tie
to any of the following: E-F is kicks in the center and top position,
MD activates in the top and bottom (which is interesting if you want to
set it up that way). LD is again the same switch but it kicks in
the center and bottom position. You can play around with the rates
for each of these if you want. I figured how to do 4 positions with
combinations of the gear switch and "flap" switch. Have fun.</font>
<font size=-1>BTW, I found a real simple trick to get around the airbrake
need all together. I learned this from the famous champion and one
of my mentors, Von. If you are coming in hot, just add a little rudder
and hold it. Suprised how much airspeed it bleeds off. For more advanced
braking, or, in significant crosswind, do this drill. Tilt the wing
into the wind and then push the rudder stick opposite. You learn
this quickly and as soon as you tilt the wing the correct direction as
long as you just push opposite rudder you never get the rudder in the wrong
direction I once was at about 60 feet high at the runway threshold
and used this technique and dropped it on the runway center without overshooting.
Hint FAI pilots, this also works for inverted rolling circles- push the
rudder in the direction the plane is flying. Troy, this will help
in the one roller from inverted you will be doing for sure two weeks from
Saturday (grin). Before I diverge too much...</font> <font size=-1>You
can select MX if you want it on the "mix" switch (back right), AU is the
front right Aux 2 switch, GR is having it activated with the gear switch,
SNP is having it activated on the snap roll button (another interesting
thing) and STK is throttle. You taught me something that is really
neat. Using the STK function, it kicks in at any point on the throttle
curve (full mix) rather than it coming in a little at a time like in the
offset from the first screen if mixing the throttle as master.</font> <font size=-1>Maybe
if there is interest, I'll do a short "10 step" procedure on setting up
a pattern plane with the 10X.</font> <font size=-1>Don</font></blockquote>
