RE: JR 11X STICK POSITION SWITCH
Todd, While you can have the snap function operational for all flight modes, it is not a safe condition. As the manual states, when using the position switches, the snap should be tied to a specific flight mode so you can turn it off. The original manual is not clear on how to set the position switch. I have forgotten how the version one software had it but if it is the same as version two you can’t simply dial in a value. Instead you have to hold the stick to the position you want but it must be beyond the 50% point. A STO message will appear in the lower left corner of the screen. Push the button next to the message to store the value. Allan

RE: JR 11X STICK POSITION SWITCH
Todd, I’m unclear why you want to use a stick position switch to change flight modes unless it is to change something other than the aileron, rudder and elevator rates. With version 1 software it is not possible to change flight modes with the normal, general-purpose stick position switches. With version 2 (XG11) software, it can be done with custom flight modes. For both software versions, the SNAP ROLL menu has its own stick position switches that will cause the aileron, rudder and elevator to deflect a predesignated amount when one or more sticks are pushed passed a given point(s). This can be done without regard to flight mode or it can require a specific flight mode. I’ve used this function in place of a snap switch. Allan

RE: 12X Alarm Volume
Check menu 98 in the system list. If it is in silent mode, the warning alarms will still work but there are no other audio signals. With the silent mode off, you will still have to set the Down ALM to some interval in the timer menu to have an alarm when the count reaches zero. Allan

RE: 12X Question (Glider Mode)
There seems to be various versions of 12X software out there. It is easy to duplicate the brake menu reverse stick option by using a couple of normal program mixes. Set up one mix of #SPO -> FPRN and another of #SPO -> FLAP. On both mixes, set the Offset to -170 or a lesser negative number (e.g. -140) if you want some dead space. Set the upper rate of either Pos0 or Pos1 to some value and leave the lower rate zero. In the Brake menu, you can still use the elevator compensation but verify the flap and flaperon rates are zero.

RE: 12X Question (Glider Mode)
Unless we have different transmitters, you are in the correct screen area but high light the item to the right of SPOI. See attachment. I just checked the 12X manuals and the pictures there don't show the reverse stick function in the brake menu. I had my 12X upgraded to have momentary switches and the balance in ACRO work correctly. I don't recall anything about the upgrade affecting the GLID programming. But it may have. Possibly you should give Horizon a call. Allan

RE: programming a 12X for powered glider
Phil, What I like to do is to use a switch in conjunction with a slider to control the motor. The switch is used to arm/disarm the motor. The slider is used to modulate the speed if I don’t want full-on, full-off operation. With the slider set low, it also serves as a secondary safety switch. Most often I set the slider to full-on and use the switch to control the motor. Doing this, the motor channel speed should be ramped up and down slowly to avoid excess stress on the propellor. Use menu 24. SRV. Speed for this. If you are using flight modes, each flight mode has its own set of servo speeds. You may have to set the motor speed for each flight mode. The only way I’ve found to access menu 16., MOTO. Hold, is to use the spoiler stick for the motor. If this menu were available with the motor switch, it would be a simple way to disarm the motor. As it is, I use two normal program mixes to accomplish this task. Currently I’m using a 11X for my full-house motor glider. I haven’t completed the programming for it on my 12X yet; but, here is what I’ve done so far. Start with the default settings for the GLID configuration by doing a MDL Reset. In the DeviceSEL menu, if you are going to use flight modes, I would set the AILE/RUDD TRIM to COM. Set the [OUT] for all the auxiliary channels to INH. The first four channels in the list on the right should read: MOTO: MOTO SW INH FLAP: FLAP LV ACT AUX2: SPOI ST INH AUX3: AUX3 LV INH The settings for rest of the channels don’t make any difference as they will not be used. In the Wing Type menu, #22, Dual Mate the Flap to AUX2, not to MOTO. With this set up the motor will be controlled by the MOTO SW and the AUX3 lever. The Flap and camber control is with the FLAP lever. The braking system is controlled by the Spoiler stick. Even though three of the channel outputs are inhibited, the devices designated for them will still come into play. In a normal program mix, mix AUX3 -> MOTO. Set both Pos0 rates to +100%. Leave the Pos1 rates as zero. Leave the Offset as zero. Verify that all the select switches are off. Now if you go to the Monitor menu, you will see that the motor channel will be controlled by AUX3 slider. Thus far, the MOTOR SW is not doing anything. In another normal program mix, mix AUX3 -> MOTO. Verify both Pos0 rates are zero. Set both Pos1 rates to -100%. Set the Offset to -170. Set the MOTO select switch to 1. Now whenever the MOTO switch is pulled back to position 1, the motor will be cutoff no manner where the AUX3 slider is set. This mix when added to first mix makes the AUX3 signal go low. The offset has to be set correctly to -170 for it work. You can play with the offsets and see what happens. The motor end points and direction can be set by menus 12 and 13. Changing these will not affect how the mixes are set up. If you want the motor to be held off with some other flight modes, such as LAND or CRUISE, you can set those mode select switches to 1 as well. Just don’t AND the switches. From this point on the set up will be the same as an unpowered sailplane. And this leads to one last comment. The flap lever and all the menus that depend on flap movement will not work until you have entered some values into menu #69, FLAP Rate. The default rates are zero. Setting the flap rate to zero for a flight mode is the way you inhibit the flaps for that mode. Allan See my post #8 for another way

RE: programming a 12X for powered glider
Here is another method to control the motor on an electric-powered glider using a switch and slider than the one I posted in reply #4. It takes only one mix. It is set up so the motor/gear switch turns the motor on and off while the AUX3 lever (the left slider) sets the motor speed, much the same way as before. Its limitation is that a flight mode or another switch will not completely disable the motor switch without adding another program mix. In the DeviceSEL set the motor channel and AUX3 channels to: MOTO: MOTO SW ACT AUX3: AUX3 LV INH In a normal program mix, mix AUX3 -> MOTO. Set the upper Pos0 rate to zero and the lower rate to +100%. Set both Pos1 rates to zero. Set the Offset to +170. In the switch select portion of the menu set MOTO to 1 and rest of the switches to 0. I use this mix on my electric RES. As there are no flaps or ailerons for camber, I need only two flight modes, power and glide. The motor sw does double duty as the flight mode switch. So there is no need of having a flight mode to inhibit the motor. Allan

RE: 12X Question (Glider Mode)
To reverse the stick action on menu 71, in the lower left corner of the menu between START and 100 it probably reads NORM. Highlight NORM and press the roller bar to change it to REV. Leave the Pos. 100 setting at or near 100. The 100 represents the rest position be it at the top or the bottom. Decreasing the number gives more dead space before the stick comes into play. Now if this is on a motor glider and you are using the left stick for throttle as well, The reversing will also take place on the throttle action. You will have to reverse the motor channel to get it back to normal. If you use the Motor Hold function, it will have to be set at +100% instead of zero for normal motor off. Allan

RE: programming a 12X for powered glider
Phil, I suspect there may be a slight difference between your 12X transmitter and mine as I cannot use the L3P (FLAP/MIX) switch for the Launch flight mode group unless I rename the flight modes. That switch can only be used for the Speed group of flight modes. That aside, the Brake System should work the same for both of our transmitters. The Brake System menu operates in the same manner as a program mix*. The POS1 rates are use if the SW SEL. condition is true. Otherwise, the POS0 rates are used. I’m going to assume that you have set the POS0 FLAP rates to zero. Take a look at the SW SEL submenu in the Brake System. If both CRUISE and LAND select conditions are 1, then the brake system will be active for whenever CRUISE or LAND flight mode is selected. Only LAND should be set to 1 if you want the brake system active only for landing. The rest should be 0. Allan *I should mentioned the analogy to the program mix applies to the selection of the rates. The brake system's BRAKE START is not similar to the Offset in in a program mix.

RE: Bird of Time on JR9303 2.4
Dennis, If you are using the ACRO configuration, use the program mix offset to set the point where the mix kicks in. Take a normal program mix, say mix #6, and mix THRO -> ELEV. Move your throttle stick to the position where you want for the mix to kick in. Select the Offset in the mix menu. Look at the legend in the up left corner of the screen. As you increase the offset from zero to some positive value, the small bar to right of the legend will switch from its bottom position to its upper position. The offset number where this occurs marks the position you have place your throttle stick. On my transmitter, for what I approximate to be 60% throttle, the offset is +50. If you want the mix full time, enter a mix ratio for the upper value of the Pos0 rates. Leave the lower value zero. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, enter a very small value initially. The value will have to be larger than if the offset were zero. Use the Pos1 rates if you want to use a select condition for the mix. Allan

RE: programming a 12X for powered glider
For many years I flew both pattern and thermal duration sailplanes. With my first venture into electric thermal sailplanes, I programmed the left stick for both throttle and braking. When I mentioned this on either this forum or another, there was a chorus of dissenting opinions. While the program worked satisfactorily, the more I flew with it, the more I came to realize there was no particular advantage in using the spoiler stick for motor control. To do what you want requires the spoiler stick to be used in reverse fashion and the programming is a little convoluted. If you still want to go with using the spoiler stick for both motor control and braking, let me know. Allan

RE: JR9303 issue
While there may be a very remote chance you have a hardware problem, the overwhelming odds are that you have a programming situation. It is not serious enough to call it a problem! First let me expand on Rich’s comment, "It is better to use Mate, when possible, rather than using a Pmix." The reason for this is that the 9303 ACRO program mixes don’t carry the master channel attributes, such as trim, to the slave channels. This holds for all the flying surface channels. The Throttle channel is the only exception. When you are pairing ailerons, elevators, rudders, or flaps, use the Wing TYPE menu. With this menu when you select an optional wing type, enable the V-tail or dual/mate a channel, the master channel attributes will apply to the slave channel. No other way will do it. Andy is most likely correct in diagnosing your problem. You have stated that you are using AUX1 for your second aileron channel. This is the default left aileron channel if you have chosen the flaperon wing type. I’m willing to bet this what you have done. If so, make certain your flap switch is in the middle position. If it is in either the upper or lower position and you haven’t reduced the FLAP SYS values, you will not be able to adjust the travel of either of the ailerons in one particular direction. This is because you have used up all the aileron travel in the direction the flaperons are pointing. If you have dual ailerons and don’t wish to have flaperons, the correct programming is to use a NORMAL wing type and dual/mate an inhibited channel to the aileron. It is sloppy programming to use the flaperon wing type and then turn around and inhibit the flap channel to get rid of the flaperon function. You can get away with it on the 9303 and 12X but the newer 11X will not allow it. Allan

RE: Anything new for 2012 JR ?
Vince, There isn’t much experience with the DMSS here in the US yet. Except for the few that were imported by individuals from a foreign source, it has yet to be sold in here. From a little bit of descriptive literature provided by JR and Horizon, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between DMSS and DSMX but just enough to make the two incompatible. The XG series uses a SD card which can be used to store models or for upgrading the transmitter software. The series uses LiFe batteries instead of NiMH. It works on 6v so it is lighter. And there are rumors that JR is planning a super top of the line model. You can get a sense of the difference in programming between the XG series and your 9303 by comparing it to the JR 11X 2.4. There are many things you can do with the 11X mixes that are not possible on the 9303. In general it is simpler but more versatile. The XG series across the line has advanced the 11X programming format somewhat. The XG8 is almost as capable as the 11X 2.4 is in some areas and more advanced in others. When Horizon upgrades the 11X 2.4 to the XG11 level, it should be equivalent in programming power. JR has already done this for the 11X counterpart sold to rest of the world. The 11X works on DSM2 and DSMX so your receivers won’t have to be replaced. If you want telemetry, you can get it now with Spektrum add-ons. It is more expensive and won’t be integrated into the transmitter. If you can, you should wait until more field experience is accumulated for the new transmitters that are coming on the market before making a decision. Allan

Some of JR’s XG series are already posted on the Horizon website. While not exactly new to rest of the world (except for the XG11), they should be available here sometime this year. As Rich wrote, they use JR’s DMSS protocol so they are not compatible with either DSM2 or DSMX. Aside from having telemetry, the programming of each is an improvement over their non telemetry counterpart. Allan

RE: JR stick condition switching
Based on my experience with the 9303 and its similarity to the 9503, I would say no in the strictest sense of your question. The 9503 lacks stick position switches for the rudder, aileron and elevator sticks. It does have a stick position switch on the throttle stick that could be used with program mixes to change the rates on the other three axes after the throttle passes a given point. Only the 12X can change flight modes and subsequently the rates by a stick position switch and that is only in the ACRO configuration. If you want variable rates as a function of the stick position, the simplest way is to use exp rather linear rates. Another way is to use the curve program mixes, but it is only good for two axes as there are only two curve program mixes. Allan

RE: 10X/12X battery cycling
Brian, Your comment about Eneloops jogged my memory. I should modify my comment about always charging the 12X battery inside the transmitter. I should have said that I always charge the battery without removing it from the transmitter since I’ve stopped using the supplied charger. I had one of the first 12X’s. The charger that came with it would cook the battery and raise its temperature something awful. If your charger does this, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to remove the battery from the transmitter while charging it. The original pack had a solid state device embedded in it to disconnect the pack when the battery temperature raised above a given point. I believe the problem was not so much with the charger but this component was defective. One of these days I hope to run tear the original pack apart and run a temperature test on the component. When you go to Eneloops, you will probably use a different, low-rate charger. With that there is no problem with charging the battery in the transmitter. Allan

RE: Need help programming 9303
Andy is right on when he said your problem is using the GLID programming for your 3D foamie. I don’t believe there is any way on the 9303 in GLID to have independent throttle and butterfly at the same time. You could use flight modes and in one mode have the throttle stick control the throttle. In another mode have it control the Butterfly. But is that what you want? In GLID, the only activating device for GLID’s Butterfly is the throttle stick. You should follow Rich’s advice and program in ACRO. The Horizon’s article, "Programming Guide for the JR XP9303 for the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick" found at http://www.jrradios.com/ProdInfo/Files/JR9303UltraStickProgramming.pdf will work if you have independent flaps and ailerons. You’ll also need a seven-channel receiver. The last paragraph, Flap to Aileron Mixing, is the setup for the Butterfly when the flap switch is all the way back, LAND. Allan

RE: Bird of Time on JR9303 2.4
I’m glad you got the curve mix working. I was in the process of writing a very long reply to your previous post. I would say based on my RES, I would recommend halving all the values. A mix with too high of the rates is worst than having no mix at all. I’ve found from bitter experience that you can get into a lot of trouble if the mix rates are too high. Depending on the mix, sometimes it takes only a couple of percentage points to compensate. The preset failsafe is an undocumented feature of all but the earliest AR7000 ‘s. I don’t know why it has never been put in the instructions. Just try it and see if it works. I have it on both of my AR7000 receivers. Allan Reflecting on some of my experiences with mixes into the elevator, I would recommend you cut the mix down by much more than half. The elevator is very sensitive. I would initially set the highest rate to no more than 5 and set Point-3 to 2. Inhibit the rest of the points. With too little mix compensation, it will be quit natural to manually make the correction with the elevator stick. Make a test flight with the spoilers fully open. Land and adjust the top rate and change Point-3 for half that rate. When you find the proper top rate, then you can adjust the intermediate points.

RE: Bird of Time on JR9303 2.4
We are not exactly on the same page. The way I originally described setting up the channels was (using the receiver nomenclature): THRO ESC AILE Open or rudder ELEV elevator RUDD rudder or open GEAR open RFLA(AUX1) right spoiler LFLA(AUX2) left spoiler There is no reason that you can’t use the gear channel for the left spoiler. If you want to do that, then inhibit the GEAR output in the DeviceSEL. Ignore my comment of using AUX3 for the left spoiler. AUX3 requires an eight-channel receiver. I’ve taken some pictures of the menus where the GEAR channel rather than AUX2 is used for the left flap/spoiler function. Note in the DeviceSEL menu, the GEAR OUT is INH. The flap device is set to FLAP LV which is the left slider. The FLAP OUT is set to ACT. The FLAP TRIM has been left ON. The flap trim lever is the spring loaded switch located just left of center on the top front row of switches. This trim will move both flaps/spoilers in the same direction. For spoiler use, it not of much value and I should have set it to OFF. In the WING TYPE menu, the GEAR channel has been mated to the FLAP channel. The third picture is the 9303 Monitor menu with the left spoiler on the LFLA (a.k.a. GEAR)channel. I don’t know how you got both the FLAP SW and FLAP LV to control the spoilers. If you set up your DeviceSEL and Wing Type as I have, only the FLAP LV will control the spoilers. The way to coordinate the spoilers is to use the function list’s Sub Trim and TRVL ADJ. menus. The way I did it on my RES motor-glider was to use the Sub Trim menu to get the spoiler servo arms positioned nearly the same. Then I used the TRVL ADJ to set the closed and fully open positions for each spoiler channel to be identical. Unless the linkage geometry for one spoiler is really different from the other, not much adjustment will be needed. One thing I didn’t cover is a throttle kill switch. The 9303 lacks one but it is easy to set up using the function list’s THRO CURV menu and if you disable the throttle trim. Without the throttle trim disabled it is possible for the motor to turn on if the trim is pushed forward. To disable the throttle trim, in the system list’s TRIM STEP menu set the THRO to 0%. Then in the THRO CURV menu just below where it reads "[THRO CURV] >" there will be either Pos.0 or Pos.1. The default is Pos.0. The graph to the right show the curve for Pos.0. Leave it as a straight line. Next highlight and select the Pos.1 curve. On that graph change all the points to 0.0%. If you haven’t inhibited throttle trim, you will notice that Point-L can be changed by the throttle trim lever. Last, go to the SW SELECT and select one to be the activation switch for the Pos.1 curve. You can use the GEAR SW as it was inhibited from controlling the GEAR channel in the DeviceSEL menu. Allan

RE: Bird of Time on JR9303 2.4
I’m going to assume your Bird of Time is just rudder, elevator, spoilers and motor. As this is a RES sailplane that has been motorized and you want to put the throttle on the left stick, there is not much reason for using the GLID configuration programming. The benefit of using GLID is you can more easily change the wing’s camber (which your plane isn’t capable of doing) and you can use the throttle stick for landing control (which you don’t want to do). I recommend you set it up like a powered plane in ACRO. Put the ESC on the throttle channel. That way you can control the motor with the left stick easily. I’m assuming you are flying mode 2. If you want both the rudder and elevator on the right stick, put the rudder on the aileron channel. Use the flap channels for the spoilers as ACRO has no preset mixes for spoilers. In the DeviceSEL, set the outputs for AUX2, 3, and 4 to INH. The easiest way to proceed is to use the flap system as you can use the FLAP SYS menu in the function list to set up the spoilers and the elevator. The disadvantage is that you have only three spoiler settings, closed, partially open, and fully open. Most sailplane pilots would want more control over the spoilers for precise landing. If you go with the FLAP SYS, just leave the flap channel output in the DeviceSEL as SYS. Pick either of the 3-position switches (FLAP SW or AUX2 SW) for the controlling device. If you want to have to have proportional control over the spoilers, set the FLAP out to ACT. Then pick which side slider you want to control the spoilers. The FLAP LEV is the left lever. Next go to the WING TYPE menu and mate the FLAP channel to AUX2. If you used AUX3, you will get the added trim function option which allows you to set the position of one spoiler in relation to the other. I don’t think you will need this. Now if you are using the FLAP SYS for the spoilers, you should go to the FLAP SYS menu in the function list and set the spoiler and elevator positions for the switch positions. The default flap positions are Norm - U100%, Mid - 0%, and Land - D100%. If you leave these settings and adjust your spoiler servo arms so the spoilers are closed in the Norm setting, you will get maximum spoiler action. If you set Norm to 0% and Mid to something like D50%, your spoiler servo travel will be lessened. The elevator settings will have to be found by trial and error when flying the plane. Don’t be surprised that you will have push the nose down some when the spoilers are partially deployed but have to pull the nose up when the spoilers are fully deployed. If you are using the sliders for spoilers, then you will have to use either program mix #1 or #2 so to have a curve mix. Mix either LLVR or RLVR, depending on which you chosen for the FLAP channel device in the DeviceSEL menu, to ELEV. Here again, the curve will have to be set up by flight trial and error. As sailplanes are very capable of flying out of sight without the pilot’s assistance, set up the receiver failsafe in case you fly beyond the transmitter’s range. With the ESC on the throttle channel, you could use smart failsafe to turn the motor off. A better solution is to use preset failsafe so you can set the failsafe positions for all the channels. Unless your AR7000 is a very early model, it should have preset failsafe as an undocumented feature. Preset failsafe is set by putting the receiver in the bind mode. Before you turn on the transmitter, remove the bind plug from the receiver. The LED’s will continue to flash. Position all the transmitter channels to their failsafe settings before pressing the bind button while turning the transmitter on. Use the transmitter's Moitor menu and wiggle the sticks to see how the channels are allocated. On the Monitor, the function in the upper left corner is channel #1 on the receiver. Below that is channel #2 etc. Allan

RE: Jr 9303 pcm9x11 crow brake switch position question
The PCM9XII and the 9303 programming are not exactly the same. The manual I have for the PCM9XII doesn’t go that deep in the details of programming the GLID flight modes. On the 9303 if you activate the LAUNCH flight mode switch with the SPEED inhibited, you will then get the option of reversing the launch switch. I am aware that the two transmitters prioritize the flight mode switches differently. So this may not work on yours. On the 9303 there is no special significance to the flight mode names until you start using them for select switches. They are just empty labels. If all else fails, you might just switch the names in your mind. Allan

RE: JR 12X vs 9303 Module
Instead of hacking a $100+ module, why not buy an integrated case, SPM6817, for $9.50? Allan

RE: PCM9x device select in glider mode?
Take this for what it is worth from a person who never owned a PCM9X and only knows what has been written on the Internet, but it may be possible you don’t have a Device Select menu in the glider configuration. My understanding is that there was a major change in the programming between the PCM9X and the PCM9XII. Much of the change was in the glider configuration. Sherman Knight’s article was written for the North American XP9303. The PCM9XII programming is very similar to the XP9303. I’ve read at one time that PCM9X was being converted free of charge to PCM9XII. If that still holds, you ought to investigate. On the 9303 there is a Device Select menu for all three model configurations. Allan PS. As the PCM9X channel assignments are the same for both ACRO and GLID whereas on the 9303 they are very different, I wonder if the changes you make in the ACRO Device Select carries over to the GLID configuration.

RE: Should it be re tuned
The ground range will depend on the environment at your field and your plane setup. My experience is that the 30-pace requirement with using a JR receiver with a 9303 is very lax. Normally my ground range is twice or three times more. Even when the transmitter antenna is collapsed there is still one section inside the case that is functional. If it were my receiver, I would send it back to be re-tuned. Allan

RE: Momentary toggle switch for 9303?
Just to reiterate, to use the button as a momentary switch, the button has first be made the input device for either the GEAR or AUX4 channel in the Device SEL. GEAR and AUX4 are the only two channels that can have the button assigned as their inputs. Then the channel is used as the master in the program mix. If instead BUTN is chosen as the master in a program mix, the button will act as a push-on, push-off switch. I can’t find a way to have a momentary program-mix select switch on either the 11X or 12X, much less than the 9303. If you have a problem finding a lever, momentary switch that can replace the gear switch, you might try contacting Horizon. If memory serves me right, the HELI version of the 9303 uses such a switch instead of the button. Horizon will probably want to install the switch themselves rather than selling you one directly. Good luck. Allan

RE: Momentary toggle switch for 9303?
If the purpose of the mix is to add the output of one channel to another, such as aileron -> rudder, then a hardware modification is warranted. The program select switch options don’t include the snap/trainer button. If the purpose is just to change the output of a given channel then the button can be programmed as a momentary input by designating it as the input device for a channel in the Device SEL. menu. Then using that channel as the master in a program mix, you can momentarily change the slave channel. I’ve been using this technique as an IC engine kill since the 9303 came on the market. Allan

RE: Momentary toggle switch for 9303?
In other words, you want two momentary switches as you already have one on the 9303 in the form of the trainer button, if you program it properly. Allan

RE: Help with Jr11x zero
Rich’s suggestion of using the mating function on the Wing Type menu is the quickest and easiest way to couple two channels so they have common trim, rates and expo curves. The 11XZero programming is not entirely the same as used with the transmitter sold in the US. On mine it is possible to use the program mix to have the same dual rates for two channels through sub menus. When the throttle, rudder, aileron, elevator or flap is selected as the master channel, a submenu will pop up asking which include functions are to be transferred to the slave. Expo is one of the possible include functions for the aileron, rudder and ailerons. If your transmitter programming doesn’t do this, you will have to use the Wing Type mate function. Allan

RE: slider sw
The 12X has side sliders. Only the 11X has back sliders. You didn't specify which configuration, ACRO, GLID, or HELI, you were inquiring about. On the 11X in ACRO any channel other than aileron, rudder, elevator or throttle you can use the sliders as the primary device. If you use program mixes then all the channels can be manipulated with the sliders. Allan
