[. . . ] Any trim that you set while your model is in flight by use of the Digital Trim keys will automatically be stored in memory for that specific channel and model. The Trim value in % that you set during flight is shown on the TRM screen for each Channel. In addition, there are bar graph indicators on the screen at all times that visually show how much trim has been set for Elevator, Aileron, Throttle and Rudder channels. 3 POSITION FLAPS (FLAP SWITCH) Using channel 6 as a flaps only channel, you are able to adjust the 3 flap positions. Up 0% flaps, 50% flaps and 100% full flaps down. By starting in the default screen, push the function CH+ key to move the curser to the right untill you reach the P-F. All of your flap adjustment is done with the CNT and EPA. You will be using your EPA and servo centering to change the persentages of how much flap you would like. First move the 3 position switch to the middle postion. This will position the servo to its center position. With out using the servo centering feature, install the servo arm so the arm is as close to 90 deg as posible. Now move the 3 poistion flap switch to the up postion and setup your linkage so your flaps will be at 0%. After your linkage is set you can now move the 3 position switch to the middle. This will move your flaps down to the 50% position. Moving the 3 position switch to the last or full down position will give you full 100% flaps down. With the 3 position swtch in the mid position, you can adjust the amount of flaps down in this position with the servo centering feature. changing the servo centering will change both up and down end points. Besure to readjust both end points after you change the servo centering. After adjusting the mid flap position, you can now adjust both the up and full down positions with the EPA feature. 38 FLAPE (FLAPERONS) The Flaperon function can be used to obtain two separate aileron channels with a servo in each wing. It can also be used so that the strip ailerons act as flaps and deploy in a downward direction to create both lift and drag. In the following example, the ailerons will be programmed to act as flaps that are controlled by the Flap/FL-EL switch. Press the (CH ­) or the (CH+) key to select "etc" on the Channel indicator. Next, press the FUNCTION down key several times to see the following screen. Now, press the INC +/YES or the DEC -/NO key to set the FLAPE function to Active. The aileron stick will now operate two servos on receiver channels #2 and #6. [. . . ] Same as CP3F but Elevator ball is located in the rear or back. The Elevator ball joint is located at 90 degress from the Aileron ball joint. The Elevator ball joint is located in the front. The same as CP4F except the Elevator ball is located in the rear or back. The following drawings illustrate the various types of CCPM available with the RD8000. 72 CHANEGING FLIGHT MODE 1 and 2 Switch Locations From the factory flight mode 1 switch is on the right top toggle and flight mode 2 is on the left top toggle switch.
