Just got some final finishing to the Fox now that the last two wing servos have arrived and are now installed. Temporarily I have set it up as a normal aircraft. At the moment the ailerons are Y leaded to one channel and the flaps are on Aux1 & Aux2

If the weather allows soon I will put model together and set up TX to Glider mode and have a go at programming Launch, Cruise and Landing modes. RX channels are completely reassigned when in Glider Mode I have noticed. Still reading manual pages 121 to 146, phew!

At last Phil - But now you have that extra knowledge and there is no point owning a good Tx and not making use of its capabilities. One point before you fly - This programming probably required some default channel switches / operating levers (ch 5 6 7)to be inhibited - Make sure all these changes have been carried out (in the DEVICE SELECT screen - otherwise you might flick a switch inadvertently and see a control surface operate unexpectedly.

I have followed the manual but have come to a stop. i have rewired the RX as per the Manual because the channels change when in sailplane mode. However, I am stuck a little on the "crow / butterfly" settings and also getting the flaps to follow the ailerons. I am only getting partial mix if you will. :( I have probably missed something or a setting.

Other than adding 20ozs of ballast in the nose, two Dumb Blondes for pilots, not far off now for flight :lol:
