Don,
<br>This stuff is really helping me to get a better grasp of the radio.
<br>Thanks,

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>
