SD10G Quad Flap Setup on an UltraStick

This video demonstrates how the control surfaces will operate with a quad flap airplane, using an Airtronics SD10G radio.

Aileron Rate Switch 7, 8, 9
Switch 9 - low rate dual ailerons
Switch 8 - high rate dual ailerons
Switch 7 - high rate ailerons coupled with flaps

Flight Mode Switch 10, 11, 12
Switch 10 - normal flight mode
Switch 11 - flaps with set position
Switch 12 - crow

In flap and crow modes, the elevator is slaved to flaps, and provides 10% (approx) down elevator. Since the normal mode, flap mode, and crow mode each store separate elevator trim settings, the plane can be leveled out in flight for each of these 3 modes.

The dual or quad flap aileron settings are operative in all 3 flight modes, as demonstrated.

Flap Flight Mode
Flaps go down a fixed percentage, but the ailerons continue to operate normally. When the aileron rate switch is moved to position 7, the ailerons and flaps move together when banking in a turn.

Crow Flight Mode
As above for Flap Flight Mode, but the ailerons are reflexed upwards. When the aileron rate switch is moved to position 7, the ailerons and flaps move together when banking in a turn as above, but with the ailerons biased to a reflex position.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with the Eclipse 7 and do not know the extend of mixing functions it provides. You might try to reach out to Hitec to see if they have a programming guide to cover how to do the UltraStick.

I actually don't fly the UltraStik very often. However, I use never use FLAPS. I use CROW sometimes when diving to slow down and flare to a quick landing. I always use the ailerons ganged together for highest roll rate.

Leckert123... Thank you for an excellent video... Need your help in setting mine up... I've got the same plane but the Hitec Eclipe 7 radio. Any help will be welcomed.

Flaps are soo over rated I had a ultra stick 40 with just solid alerions landed just fine. Its all about power management.

so, which feature/setting do you use most often?

CRAP, you gotta have a memory like an elephant just to utilize just SOME of the features of this awesome radio!
