Do the ailerons continue to function as expected with throttle engaged? I assume you have set your wing type to flaperon for that aircraft in the DX7? I use the DX6 as you know, so the setup I'm sure is a bit different. Good luck figuring out your brain-teaser. --Dave Stan,

Ditto on the nice write up and pictorial. I must say... it looks RAPID...!!! Probably more than my eye/hand co-ordination could handle. Glad to see the electronics from the SC lived to fight another day. Can't wait to see the flight video. Need to get with you some day and pick your brain about the "flaperon" setup we are doing with our Spektrum radios. Everything (about the flaps) seem to work... but the minute I apply one click of throttle... the flaps jump back to neutral...??? Can't find any "mixes" that are wrong. So not sure what I'm fighting on that little war. The DR7000 Rx has the standard four plugs (throttle, rudder, elev. & aleron) plus Gear, Aux 1 and 2. Running (as per manual) the left aleron into my Aux 1... so it should be good to go... but NOT. Just another hair-puller question mark. Good luck with the Formosa... hope it has a LONG expiration date. Will be checking back for the updates. Dave…
