The glider mode is way cool on the E7 transmitter but I now have a nice large electric sailplane and need the throttle.

In the acro mode; Can I program the flaps down a certain % and the ailerons
up a certain %, at the same time? (crow). with one toggle switch.

Or, as a trade off for the variable throttle control will I be left using
flapperons instead? Both ailerons down, same switch.

I think the acro is the way to go as I will need variable throttle.
Thanks for any help from the radio gods!

You can't get Crow in ACRO mode. :(

So is there a way to get a decent throttle control in the Glider mode and still be able to crow?

I have the eclipse 7, and in the acro mode under the "land" feature, the manual indicates that if my model has a single flap servo on channel 6 then the flaps will be dropped. I guess I would have to y-cord both flaps on this channel. But, at the front of that chapter it's indicated that the L. aileron goes to this channel. The gear switch is on channel 5, is this the one I need?

Where do the flaps hook up on the receiver in the acro mode?
I have a glider with 6 servos and a motor, using a Super-Slim rx.

I would like to use the land feature to throw the flaps a certain amt. along with the elevator, but after I flip the land switch to initiate this. I will also be programmed for flapperon mixing which should allow me to give both flaps up and make the glider crow.
Will this work?

That should work using two switches in that configuration.
