I don't know if you are the same. Wonderful guy who did the night vapor video. But once again bro, you are the man. Thank you so much. I'm so more confident getting into this now that you've made it simple. I really appreciate it and i'm sure i'm not alone when I say thank you

[@windscreenrepairmanrich5528]

Topman! I nearly sent the plane back!

[@kenflyergc]

....thanks for the video....despite having/reading the instructions on page 6 of the manual....I wasn't sure which switch was the "gear switch" on my DX6 since all my switchs are labeled with letters....and nowhere have i ever read that the letter "A" switch was also referred to as the "gear" switch ...now I have flaps.....thanks again....

[@Tallguysrc]

Hold left stick down and to the left, Right Stick up and to the Right then toggle gear switch (A) five times

[@TheRyaninspokane]

Waiting for my second one.

[@justfishyyy]

when i did the flap setup thing, the switch toggled the flaps, but instead of both of them going in one direction they go in opposite directions, and this wouldn’t work because the flaps, if toggled like this, would just cause the plane to barrel roll instead of slowing down.

[@HCBR72RR]

you can channel assign your flaps to any switch. My flaps are on switch D.n and it works great

[@Tallguysrc]

Brian, you are 100% correct mine is also on D the tricky part of the setup that has people confused is how to toggle on the flap mixing which is default A or gear switch, I messed up in how I said , thanks for the feedback, love this plane

[@YourAverageJoe1000]

Thanks for this video, I've never had to enable flaperons on an airplane before! One question, is there a difference in flight modes between having flaperons enabled/disabled (ex. SAFE staying on, built-in lower rates, etc.) or is it just a locked-away feature in case a user is flying on a radio with less than 6 channels (despite HH recommending 6+)?

[@Tallguysrc]

Note Gear switch is (A) the flaps on my setup are on (D)

[@RARenfield]

So the switch they refer to as switch 5 in the manual is really switch A? No wonder they don't work.

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

RTFM as the old saying goes. I have a UMX turbo timber, everything works as designed, but is it possible to include the ailerons on the tips to function as flapperons also?

[@Tallguysrc]

On the full sized one yes the umx version no.

[@gobarbless3871]

Can I have Flaperons and SAFE? Or do I need to choose?

[@BillKisel]

How do you like this model? I'm trying to decide whether to get another (it'd be my third) UMX Turbo Timber or the X. Love the UMX TT and now have batteries and plenty of spare parts but also feel the X would be awesome to own and fly.

[@Tallguysrc]

Flys great need to dial it in hope to get out tomorrow and get her all setup

[@old-rcplane-phart]

I finally got mine yesterday Bill K. Maidening it today, at a new field prospect.

[@BillKisel]

@@old-rcplane-phart That's great! Let us know how the maiden went.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

@@BillKisel Like everyone else, my 'flaps' don't work neither. Now I know🤷‍♂️

[@BillKisel]

@@old-rcplane-phart I wound up getting my third UMX Turbo Timber. I'm sure I'd like the timber X also but I think I would get the UMX Pits before I got the Timber X.

[@robgoffroad]

Thanks for this video. I followed your steps and the elevators did the little dance just like yours did. BUT, when I use my switch D (which I also configured in the Flaps area as you did), the flaperons do nothing. I do hear some noise from inside the plane with each switch position, but no control surface movement. I'm baffled. I even deleted the whole profile and started over from scratch and it does the same thing.

[@Tallguysrc]

What radio are you using

[@robgoffroad]

@@Tallguysrc NX8; but I finally got it working just now. I came back and watched your video again, then went back outside. I tried it a half dozen times. No change. I had my Gear switch set to B (which is also my Safe switch). For grits 'n shins, I moved Gear to A (which also moved Safe to A). Then I tried again, and low and behold, IT WORKED. WTF? I dunno who does Spektrum's programming, but they need a slap upside the head. Or at least put that in the manual, SOMETHING.

[@Tallguysrc]

@RobG Offroad & RC I struggled with it too and ended doing a new model to get it right

[@old-rcplane-phart]

👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@franciscoduran3688]

Is there a possibility to use flaperons in an Trojan T-28 1,1m without missing Safe/AS3X on both ailerons?

[@Tallguysrc]

yes, you can but you have to unlock the receiver to do it?

[@franciscoduran3688]

@@Tallguysrc OK, cool thanks!

[@RocketBurn11]

So there's no way to have flight modes and flaps on different switches?

[@Tallguysrc]

Yes you can

[@Tallguysrc]

The gear switch is flight modes, safe, as3x and on mine flaps are on another switch

[@RocketBurn11]

@@Tallguysrc Gotcha, I'm an OpenTX so I'm not used to calling switches by a function like gear or flaps. I thought toggling the switch was assigning it, not just enabling flaps. I got it turned on and programmed perfectly, thanks for your help. For non-Spektrum people the flight modes and switch you have to toggle is channel 5, then flaps are on channel 6.

[@Tallguysrc]

@@RocketBurn11 this one the manual was kinda all over the place

[@old-rcplane-phart]

@@Tallguysrc Amen!

[@Aviation.lover32]

it didnt work
