Simon Warran-Smith Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm building a Graupner Junior S and it calls for 25mm up aileron, 12mm down and 35mm spoileron. By following the Futaba 6EXA instructions I can get ailerons to work correctly and the flapperon functionality but only a tiny bit of up aileron (ie spoileron). My 6EXA is the 35MHz one with a rotary dial for channel 6 and works great for flapperons but I just can't get enough movement upwards to work as spoilerons. I tried all the trims etc but all that seems to do is reduce the amount of flap/spoiler movement.Any idea what I am doing wrong, or is it not possible to do spoilerons on this transmitter (I guess that's possible as the manual only refers to flapperons)?Thx Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hmm, I think you're right Simon, may not be poss on the Tx although I fly the model and never feel that spoilerons are 100% necessary. The prop acts as a good brake too at low throttle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Warran-Smith Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Actually, a fellow forum member Peter White sent me instructions and although I'm not entirely sure what I ended up doing (it kept doing really strange things with one aileron stuck up in the air etc!) I have now managed to achieve pretty much what I wanted - although the throws are all a little less than the manual as I'm only a novice less throw will be good!I'll send Peter a pm thanking him, but if you're interested I'm sure he'll post the same instructions here too for everyone... It's a really lovely looking plane - I can't wait for my expert friend to fly it for me (I'm going to build myself an Easystar to practice on before I attempt to fly the Junior)Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
