    I just bought the FLYSKY I6X , setup is exactly the same as you describe , except the I6X allows you to assign switches as a channel , which actually makes the setup a little easier , but works so well on my 1.8 meter Piper Cub :) , Cheers Andrew !

      I could use some help setting mine up . I tried for 3 hours today . I have the FS-i6 but mod to 10 channels so it's like the FS-i6x .... I'm trying to put the flaperons on ( C )switch 1,2,3 the other 3 are taken . And I don't want it on the sliders dials . Not sure you will even see this comment. But I thought I would try to reach out , you made it sound easy . Much respect 👏

    I realize I needed mix 3 for the servo on channel 5 but that doesn't change what happened. When I wrote potentiometer 1 I meant potentiometer A. It seemed that as soon as I adjusted the positive and negative that's when trouble started. I want to use the potentiometer but have just 1 battery left and am reluctant to attempt that program again. I think you owe me a battery. Best of spirits!

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  6 років тому

      It's not the mix causing problems Brian. I'll bet you have a dodgy servo, battery or connection.

      You could try again with a 4xAA rechargeable battery pack plugged straight into the receiver.

    • @brianhutchinson7863

      The UBEC provides no ground from batt to Rx but then neither would the average 4AA pack. The battery is an eflite. Quality pack. UBEC is generic but had no problems until I wanted to use the program you provided for potentiometer use. I purchased two new packs but don't want those fried too.

    I have a 2s 120mah 20c into a 5v ubec then onto the FS I-6 Reciever I successfully connected a servo to channel 1 with the first mix being 5 slaved and another servo to 5. I had servo function then I added mix two with potentiometer 1 with channel 1 slaved to that I adjusted the potentiometer and only one servo moved I started to adjust positive and negative to find control for both servos from the potentiometer and the servos started sizzling, trembling and going all over the place. I removed the potentiometer from the mix. After that I found that there was no servo response at all. Re binded the Rx and nothing still. Thought battery was dead and plugged it into the charger. Error response from charger. Looked at battery and noticed it had ballooned a little. Plugged in another battery and Rx and servos are ok. That program you instructed on using the potentiometer for flaperon mixing fried one of my batteries!

    Hi Andrew. I must say that your channel is great, informative and helpfull. I have started to fly RC planes in about half a year ago and learnd a lot from your channel. I have just finished to build Photon from from ExperimentalAirlines by Ed, and as I have FlySky i6 I really like your tutorial how to set Flaperons, which I want to use. Here comes the problem. I have two separate servos plugged in to channel 1 and channel 6 is right aileron. I have settup the radio the same way as you describe. It works... "but" my ailerons are reversed. You mentioned in the video that we should change positive and negative mix to either 100% or -100%. Ailerons are wokring in the separate direction as they should when I set 100%, but reversed. If I choose -100 on positive mix both are up and for my understanding negative mix left aileron should go down, but id does not. If I have both mixes on mix#1 on -100 both ailerons go up. But if I have 100% it works but reversed. Can you please help me to figure out the problem? My goal is to use separate leads for servos, and have flaperons for soaring. I would really appriciate any help and any advice. Thank you in advance. :)

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  6 років тому

      Hi Martin. Photon was my first plane too. I would start from the beginning with your mixing. Just plug in the L aileron to Ch1 and get it working in the correct direction. Select Reverse for Ch1 if it's working in the wrong direction. Then my instructions should work for you. Good luck.

    • @XrossRider
      @XrossRider 6 років тому

Thank you anyway :)

    Hi Andrew, being a man of immense RC knowledge, can you answer a question for me? I would like to program Flaperons on a Volantex G2 but I have a BGL-6G-AP GPS Flight Stabiliser on board. As the Ailerons have to be split using Ch's 1 & 6 on my FlySky I6 Controller, is there anyway around this as the FC gets the Aileron commands from Ch 1 on the controller and uses a Y cable? What do you think?.....Best regards, Pete

  • @worroSfOretsevraH
    @worroSfOretsevraH 5 років тому

    Pretty easy to understand the case when you mix a channel into itself.
    The radio executes commands in sequence, like a flowchart.
    1. take the value of CH2
    2. modify it by the amount given in the mix
    3. write it back to CH2
    4. output the final value to CH2's port, or display it, or whatever
    5. goto 1.
    For example if you set a mix of -100%, than whenever you move the stick, it will always subtract the same amount from it, so it will remain at 0.
    p.s. However I've noticed, that if you add another mix, and make for ex. CH1 follow
    exactly CH2, (a mix of 100%) it will not do so! (will not stay at 0) Actually it will follow CH2's stick movement.

    I am in the process of buying either a Phoenix 2000 or ASW-28 and on your video I have seen that you are using a "Flysky FS-i6" (the same transmitter that I have in my possession),
    Can you please help me to set up the transmitter to these gliders (the functions must be the same for both) and especially the set up of the flaps. Do you run the servo's simultaneously via two cables ending up to one going to the receiver or are the two servo's connected to two different channels? Thanks for y our help, Emiel Driessen.

    Hi again ☺️ I was trying to set up my ailerons into flapperons and i could not get it to work . Is it because my left and right servo wires come together with a (Y) and plug into the #1 on reciver? ..... to make it work does each servo need to plug into a different channel? ... if you get some time I could use some help . I gave it my best for 3 hours today . I was trying to put them in the ( C ) switch 1,2,3 .... I followed your other video and I got the motor safe on ( A ) and the dual rate sport mode on ( B ) and training/student on ( D ) switch. Those 3 work perfectly. I just can't get the flaperons to work . And I'm doing it on a FS-i6 mod to 10 channels . The reciver is FS-iA6B ....do I need a 10 channel reciver? I really enjoy your videos , thank you

    Dual rates and expo are affecting channel 1. With ailerons on separate channels and mixing, channel 6 is mirroring channel 1.
    That way, all effects of dual rates and expo on channel 1 (1st aileron servo) are being repeated on channel 6 (2nd aileron servo).
    So flaperons and dual rates should work together.

    Andrew, main problem with i6 and flaperons is that if you want to have dualrates or expo you are screwed. Mix1 takes raw input from ch1 and sends to ch6, no rates/expo settings applied. the only way to adjust throws remains endpoints. If you know a workaround for that let me know please:)

    how can i add flaperons with my configuration (your setup in the video has each aileron servo on a separate channel) - when i try to do it via your method 2 in this video, my ailerons dont do an "offset" (lowered flaps) - they are always acting against each other.

    Great video Andrew, I have the i6x, and have found a really annoying flaw (Flysky software designers whoopsie moment) in that switch assignments are global for all models, there is no way to configure switches to different assignments on different models...! A real wtf to flysky on that one, it has the potential to be such a great radio, just let down by a hungover software designer.
    Anyway, flaperons are great, much better than cutting flaps into unequipped wings.

    • @AndrewNewton

      On te i6 switch assignments are unique to each model, but if it's not how the i6x works that's crazy.

      @alasdair4161 7 років тому

      It is first run i6x, firmware 1.0 01-jul-2016, I only hope they fix it with a future upgrade, else it becomes another junkbox radio.

    • @alasdair4161
      @alasdair4161 7 років тому

      Well, I updated the firmware to 1.0.38.1413 and guess what..they fixed it! One thing though, despite the 'successful update', the version number displayed in the menu has not changed, and it only displays the first two numbers with a date.. i guess they could do a version update update..
      At least it is a painless smooth process. Thanks for spurring me into it.

    Hello AndrewI am having some problems with turnigy 9xr I bought 3 of them 3 years ago from hobbyking. 2 of them still in their boxes. Recently I noticed that the limits tends to drift ( if that's the word ) so instead of being 0.0 the Alieron Elevator and Rudder seem to self adjust sometimes -34.6 for Alieron 5.6 for elevator -1.2 for rudder. Sorry I hope I have not confused you. What do you think could be at fault? could it be I may have to replace my gimbals. Anyway I opened the other Turnigy 9xr and checked it to find that the throttle when all the way down is not down because timer is counting down and when I apply down pressure on the throttle stick it stops the timer. So out of 3 turnigy 9xr radios I only have one that works.

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  7 років тому

      Why they would drift I don't know but you could recalibrate the radio (If you're using OpenTX) Page 9 in Radio setup

    • @keithmason1613
      @keithmason1613 7 років тому

      Yes even after I recalibrate it does the same thing. I am using frsky DJT telemetry in my radio and frsky D8R-11plus as receiver. I don't know if gimbals could cause it. Maybe I could send radio to you if ok? I am scared to go on using it just incase.

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  7 років тому

      Keith, it's not a problem I have encountered before so I wouldn't know how to fix it. All I can suggest is updating the firmware and maybe replacing the gimbals if you can find them. Not much else you can do.

      Thanks andrew.... you have given me an idea of how to slow down my 2 planes in landing. Actually I was really thinking of it due to I was flying it in a not so large area and I have to descent maybe 20ft. then have to catch it on landing.... the DW eagles 1200 wingspan and the MG800. The eagle is ok but I want it more slower on descent but the MG800 is a little bit agile and descent from 20ft. for about 20 to 30meters away from you is still a little bit tricky to slowdown then able to catch it....

    Hey Andrew, I've tried your method on my FlySky i6-X and only seem to get the vario able to make one aileron go up and the other down. I copied everything exactly and this has me stumped! If I knew what the pos and neg mix did and how the master and slave interacted, I might be able to figure it out :( As it stands, I'm sort of lost.

    • @AndrewNewton

      If the ailerons are working correctly and on separate channels, all you have to do is change the flaperon mix weight values from - to + for the offending flaperon (or + to -)
