<DIV><FONT size=2>F03 number 10. I must have read your mind, its exactly
as I've been practicing.. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>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></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Maybe if there is interest, I'll do a short "10 step"
procedure on setting up a pattern plane with the 10X.</FONT></DIV>
