servo for flaps
Many thanks for the helpful responses regarding servos for the flaps options.
The idea of using programmable servos is pretty interesting as well.
So, for single-channel flap support I could:
1) Rig a single mechanical control of some sort.
2) Use a Y-cable and...
2. a) modify one servo for reverse operation or
2. b) attach a servo reversing device between one servo and the Y-cable or
2. c) mount both servos oriented identically (but asymmetrically) or
2. d) get two programmable servos (like Emax ES08d) and programmer (like Emax Servo Programming Card). Program one for reverse operation.
The DXe support 7 or 9 channels, but its capabilities are apparently limited by the DXe's programming software.
I'm still trying to figure out what the software can let it do, and documentation is extremely scant.
One DXe release document I've found mentions flaperons in passing, but I've found no specific selection for it in software or in documentation. That's why I floated that question out there.
As I discover more general stuff about the DXe, I should probably post findings in a DXe thread until I find more flaps/flaperon/mixing information that might be of help.
