- Want flaperons on your airplane? Me too! In this video I'll show you how I set up two-position flaperons on the Flysky FS-i6X radio and FS-iA6B receiver.
It's a bit of a process, but I think the end result is pretty sweet. (If you know of a simpler way, please let us know!)
FS-i6X: amzn.to/2W2CfNH
In case you don't need the step-by-step version, I've written down the key info below (let me know if you find something that doesn't make sense!):
*******FS-i6X FLAPERONS SETUP GUIDE:********
👉 Remove propeller(s)
👉 Bind tx/rx (if not already done)
👉 Plug servo into Ch1
👉 Plug other servo into Ch5 (or whichever open servo channel you want to use. For this example I'm using channel 5) (my servos are each pointing out away from the fuselage)
👉 Reverse Ch1 SERVO as needed to achieve normal aileron movement for that servo. (roll right, control surface goes up) HOLD CANCEL TO SAVE.
👉 Turn on Aux Channels (in system settings menu) . HOLD CANCEL TO SAVE.
👉 Set Ch7 (AUX 7) to SW C (the 3-position switch). HOLD CANCEL TO SAVE.
👉 Make sure Ch5 SOURCE is set to NONE (because that's the channel for the servo)
👉 👉 Set MIX 1 (Ch1 controls ch5) (this mix is to make the servos function as normal ailerons)
Master: Ch1
Slave: Ch5
Pos. Mix: -100%
Neg. Mix -100%
Offset: 0%
👉 👉 Set MIX 2 (Ch 7 Controls Ch1)
Master: Ch7
Slave: Ch1
Pos. Mix: -40%
Neg. Mix: -40%
Offset: -15%
👉 👉 Set MIX 3 (Ch7 controls Ch5)
Master: Ch7
Slave: Ch5
Pos. Mix: -40%
Neg. Mix: -40%
Offset: -15%
👉 Hold CANCEL to SAVE
👉 Check for correct movement
👉 Adjust percentages as needed to make physical aileron deflection and neutral positions match each other
👉 Done
👉 Set up other control surfaces, failsafe, throttle hold, etc. as needed.

Thanks, i've been having a problem trying to program differential throttles, ( i'm 78 ) , your video helped me very much !
Thanks for the help appreciated now I can mix my own
Good work Adam, your videos are just awesome.
Just purchased one of these to complete an Avios Grand Tundra setup, and your videos show the sheer capability and versatility of this beginners TX. Have not flown models for quite a few years and getting back into it, and have been worried about all of the hours, days or weeks likely spent on programming it. Your videos mean It'll spend more time in the air and less on the ground, keep it up man 😎
That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback!
Very informative video for new RC hobby enthusiasts. Look forward seeing more such videos in future. Great work. Thanks you for your time.
Absolutely brilliant mate I’ve just got a new plane and I’m using the fly sky controller and I didn’t think I would be able to get flapperrons working as it’s a semi glider and floats a lot in ground affect when landing well done thank you🙏
Thank you, thank you so much I been so tired of mixing ailerons thank you very much
Thank you from there France, finally I got there the first time ... Great!
nice tutorial mr adam..respect
I don’t usually comment but this video has saved my life thsnkyou!!!!
Super! Thanks for commenting!
Thanks Adam! I've been looking for the answer to this question for the flaperons on my Eclipson Model C and you've explained this perfectly in a simple and concise manner.
I am finishing a model C as well but for some reason, one of my servos will not move as far as the one I mixed it with. Works fine with a split. Did you have any issues?
@@dkh10 No issues with mine. Have you checked the End Points setting in the Functions Setup menu to see if the end points are correct (mine are at 100% for all channels). Also, check the Mixes setting for the mix on the flaperon master / slave channels (I have both the Pos. mix and Neg. mix at -100%). You could also check that the Subtrim settings for the flaperon channels are entered
....You could also check that the Subtrim settings for the flaperon channels are *centered
Thanks for the clear explanations ! 😁 I hope it also works with fsi6x....
I usually use a spektrum dx8g2, but wanted to play again with the flysky 😉
Alain, France
thank you so much very helpful
Dude you fing rock Bra!!! Thanks man, Cheers & Flysafe.
You helped me a lot, thanks
These are also good for sailplanes by having the ailerons reflexed to reduce drag, and then lowered to add camber and increase lift. I think you might have helped me to figure crow setting for flaps and ailerons.
Thank you so much!!
Well done 👍
Great video, subscribed!!
Thanks Kevin!
I have the fly sky fs 16 but this video help me so big.
Thanks Adam!!! That really helped, now i have flapearons for my Pitts Bi....
Yay!
Tnx for great video
I need to adjust physicaly flaps position to be perfect,go to revese vervo flaps ....etc....figure out on mix channel ....at the end it worked like the way it should be ....Thank bro. Ready on air
Excellent info, i thought this would be configurable / supported on the i6X, with 1 servo per side / flaperon. It's a fairly elegant solution.
Think i will use a variable knob to get various degree's of flaps. Small flap offsets for slower / greater lift ie student flying, and larger flap offsets for take-offs & landings, or similar.
Hopefully, i am not too limited on the number of pre-programmed flap offsets with the variable knob v config, though i get the knob gets you no flaps to max flaps if you want. Super!
Help so much w 1st plane thanks
Glad it helped!
Great video, Adam. What you’re working with on a flying wing is elevon control. That is, mixed elevator and aileron. Flaperon control applies to conventional airplane and sailplane wings for wing camber changes. 👍🏻😉
YEs, that's a good point. I was just using a flying wing as an example of a normal aircraft wing (I didn't have any true aileron airplanes at the time).
RCwithAdam Exactly. I assumed that was the reason! Great video! 👏🏻⭐️
He mentioned that in the first part of the video…
Subscribed & Liked!
Thanks allot ❤
It is helpfull sir
Great video for helping me to learn what flapperon is, but I can't set the elevator to work for all 3 mixings, please help when you have times.
Do you have a template to cut the board for the flaps on that wing? Would really appreciate it if you shared it!
Thanks
Yes very Awesome
Glad you liked it!
Hey adam, thanks for the video! One question that I'm left with after this I'm hoping you can answer.
I'm running a 4ch micro reciever. Im using the i6 with stock firmware(I dont have the cable to upgrade) The setup on the plane is left aileron into the aileron channel and right aileron into the rudder channel. Elevator into the elevator. I've set up flaperons like in this video and all of the aileron and flaps functions works great on the right stick. Problem I'm having is that the left stick still has independent control of the right aileron (and its reversed so if I use it the plane will do the opposite). Is there a way to tune it out so that the stick has no function anymore? Or do I just have to learn to ignore that stick?
Hope you can help, thanks for all your informative videos!
At abit of a loss here man, thanks for the video btw it helped alot! But i do have a question; i've followed the video step by step, all settings and even servo positions are the same. When i flick my right stick wich is my elevator and aileron controls, my rudder rapidly moves left to right. Also, my flaperons only work on my right side, left wont move with it for some reason.
I have to go right now for abit but once i'm back i'll completely redo it and are what happens, as for right now i havent been able to find any differences whatsoever. Running the FSI6X with the FSIA10B.
Thanks in advance!
can you do a cannards setup?
Hi Adam, this may be a longshot, but is there a way to do they flaperons on the flysky i6 but have one of the mixes with down elevator to correct for ballooning?
im trying to setup a glider i guess is what u would call it. this is my first time dealing with an rc plane cause it was always out of my budget to buy one but in the past couple yrs ive gotten into 3d printers an decided to take on building my own. i have the plane built have all the electronics an the i6x transmitter an ia6b receiver but im not 100% sure how to go about setting everything up, i have the rudder an elevators working or i think thats what they are called, the small wing at the back with the flaps they move up an down to pitch the nose up an down are elevators i think, and the rudder is the upright fin or wing ( i dont know the technical terms) an it moves left an right to turn the nose left an right. but when i go to setup the big wing up fronts flaps i can only get one servo to work when i need it to control 2. if that makes any sense. i feel like this is something that might help me get it working but at the same time im not sure cause im clueless with this stuff an trying to learn. ive had more luck just watching videos on stuff that im not even looking for and finding the answers when it comes to this stuff im so far off on what to search for when i run into an issue.
I was watching the video on flaprons very helpful but why do you need to use chanel 3
Can it be set up using a Y-lead as well? My co-pilot system only has one channel for ailerons
Am I able to have these settings for the FlySky and have differential thrust?
works perfectly!
i wish there was a built in thing for flaperons the way there is for elevrons and a vtail, kinda annoying having to use up so many channels and all the mixes but i guess it is a cheap radio lol
Excellent! Yes, me too!
Can we get more than 3 mix. I can only get flaperons but I also need some down elivator mix with throttle
I setup the same, but if I have flaps on the servos has delay or performing not reliable. I use the 10 Channel receiver. Do you know why?
Could I set flaperon if the 2 servos are in the same channel?
is it possible to turn my servo the full 180 degrees? I'm not building a plane, just trying to turn servos wirelessly, so is it possible to fully turn my servo?
Can I use this for, trust vector ,I build trust vector prop
gracias ¡¡
I’ve had a problem where everything works, but my right aileron won’t go all the way down when changing offset/positive and negative mixes or even making roll inputs on the stick. Looks like somebody else in the comments had the same problem and just reset the model. I’m gonna try that later
I followed you directions to a T. I still can not get flaperons on my Flysky FS I6 X to work. the ailerons still work but only one flap works.
Did you fix death roll?
At the end of that video you should add short flight video.
No, still troubleshooting. 😣
I've got a flying wing set up with elevrons that work on the right stick correctly. Is there a way to change the aileron function to the left stick and keep the elevator function on the right stick?
Yes, but you'll need to create a custom mix (or maybe two). But I haven't actually tried it yet.
Thanks very much for this tutorial! I used it (almost) successfully with my Conscendo Advanced. I noticed I had to set pos. mix and neg. mix at 2 times the value of the offset to have the expected behaviour.
I said "almost successfully" because it was the first time I experienced flaperons, and I crashed (and repaired) because I didn't compensate with the elevator. Is there a way to do so automatically? The problem is that there is only 3 mixes on this tx :( I wanted to use the "normal/sport" dual rate system, binding it on switch C like the flaperons (it works), but this system doesn't allow to change the elevator centering, only the rates :( Is there a solution to automatically compensate the flaperons with the elevator? Thanks.
Hi! Glad I could help! I think the only option to automatically add elevator would be using a mix.
@@RCwithAdam1 Yes of course, but the 1st mix is for the ailerons (cause they must be on distinct channels), the 2nd and 3rd are for the flaperons :/ So I'm afraid it's not possible with a FS-i6(x)... Unless FlySky patches its firmware and give us some extra mixes...
If you turn flaperons on, shouldn't the plane go up because it generates extra lift? If yes, then how did you crash?
hello, I am new to rc stuff and would like to know how to get 2 servos for pitch, snd two servos for roll in opposite directions. do you have a video explaining this?
Hi! Do you mean the two roll servos need to rotate opposite each other, and the two pitch servos need to rotate opposite each other? Basically, you could do that either by either 1. physically mounting the servo/control arm so that the movement is opposite the other, or 2. reverse the channel direction of the servo. Here's a video that might help about reversing channels: th-cam.com/video/-xNJZd9CGNg/w-d-xo.html .
@@RCwithAdam1 hi! Thank you I was able to use a signal reverser to make my servo rotate In the opposite direction along with a y harness.
7:00 is when actually starts guide
Been having this random problem where when I set the transmitter for mixing I would only get 50% of throw even though I set it to 100!? Wtf but then I reset the model on the transmitter do the same thing again and it worked? Is that just cause it’s not like exactly the best or what? Lol also I’m using the fly sky fsi6x transmitter and turnigy AFHDS receiver.
Interesting! Did you start with a brand new model profile (no old mixes or modes)?
does this work for the 6 channel version of the transmitter ?
i think it should but i am working to simply get the ailerons to work with independent servos (one servo per aileron) and that it proving to be difficult. Not sure it should be this hard but so far it seems the AUX 1 which is channel 5 only wants to see the two knobs (those are the only two options when going into Function and Aux channel setup. ) Any thoughts are appreciated.
I realize this is 2 yrs ago, but I was able to do it on the older FS-i6 radio.
Instead of selecting Aux ch7 or 8 to SwC....
Set ch6 to SwC (I'm not using ch6 for anything else.)
Mix#1 Master is ch1 and Slave is ch5 (pos & neg mix is -100%)
Mix#2 Master is ch6 and Slave to ch1 (pos & neg mix is 40%)
Mix#3 Master is ch6 and Slave is ch5 (pos & neg mix is 40%)
My offset was the same on all 3 mixes (+15%)
I hope this helps others with the older 6ch radio!!
Will this work on a warbird? I have a P-51 Mustang from harbor freight that I’ve upgraded to brushless and flies great but comes in hot on landing and looking for a way to slow it down.
Hi! It really just depends on how the servos are wired to the receiver. If they are connected to the same channel port with a Y-connector, it will not work. Also, the receiver on the plane needs to be a flysky receiver for it to be compatible.
RCwithAdam gotcha... i plan on ditching the single aileron servo setup and installing a servo on each aileron. And yes. I have the same transmitter and receiver as you in the video.
Just wondering if it will work on a P-51 :)
Btw... i have an Eagle A3 super 3 gyro installed. What should i look out for?
For a fishing boat is good?
Hi! Not sure. I haven't tried it on a boat yet.
I hope I don't buy another remote
👌👌🌹🌹💖💖
My girlfriend only likes missionary position how do I change that?
Have you noticed that when you enable the flaps on the wing it will send your aircraft into a nose dive.
Yes only a dumb will use flaps on a delta wing because it will be nothing more than an elevator pushing nose down ...
Helpful video, but so annoying you can't take the protective covering off the screen of your i6X!
Talk about how to bug your viewers
I'm having an issue where my slave servo does not move the entire range of the one it's mixed with. It goes all the way in one direction but is limited in the other. If I reverse it, it limits the other way. Any help would be great!
th-cam.com/video/MsEoqg0t3Lg/w-d-xo.html
All I would try is checking if the endpoints for channel five match those of channel one.
Why the heck would someone need flaps on a Delta wing ........those will work like elevator lol .
it is just an example man... chill...
Ohh then it's good . I take my words back
