Crow settings for a DX8 and a Ar8000 receiver


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me where i put the servo leads in the receiver for crow braking
in a Radian Pro or any glider with 2 ailerons and 2 flap wing.

I have the Sailplane update for the DX8 and the Radian Pro setting from
Spektrum site, but have no idea where the servo leads should go into
the receiver, any help would be great.

I'm in a very similar position Fingerless.

Some research led me to the following albeit the setup is for the Tx in acro mode.

Right Aileron servo lead into Rx Ail

Left Aileron servo lead into Rx Aux1

Right flap servo lead into Rx Aux2

Left flap servo lead into Rx Gear

Others with more knowledge/experience than me can perhaps confirm whether this is indeed the case.

Speedster Den did a video of a four servo wing set up here

I seemed to recall from my friends Dx8 though that you can't have throttle on the throttle stick in sailplane mode (it uses throttle stick for crow braking), but that might be because we were doing something wrong. Also his glider had a retract and airbrakes (no flaps) and we couldn't get that to work in the sailplane setting so we ended reverting to acro mode.

I will try this

Right Aileron servo lead into Rx Ail

Left Aileron servo lead into Rx Aux1

Right flap servo lead into Rx Aux2

Left flap servo lead into Rx Gear

like you mentioned, the problem now is what switches you assign all this to on the transmitter, thanks anyway.

You can set the motor to thottle stick, You do it in Wingtype screen, and then make the 1-2-3 Black in next screen , then it Works in all 3 flt modes.

But I would go for thottle in the flaps switch and crow thottlestick

When setting up crowbrake, be sure to set it all flt modes (If you want it) so you dont get surpriced of the crow dont Work if you try to land in another flt mode

 

Thottle on flaps switch with adjustable half thottle

 

 
Good luck
Soren
