Okay now I've flown the Spirit Elite, I can share my radio setup. I have a JR 2610 which is the 36 MHz version of the 6210? or 6102?. I've set it up so I have a switch for camber (when throttle is neutral), the throttle does crow when down and reflex when up and a launch mode switch which replaces crow on the throttle.
I have the flaps on channel 1 (with y-cable), right aileron on channel 2, then in order, elevator, rudder, battery pack and left aileron.
Flapperon mode is used and gear and flaps on the right switch.
Everything was then centered and throws set (except differential on the ailerons). Then differential was set to 41% to give the differential in the manual.
[FLAP SYSTEM] FLAP DN 15% ELEV DN 12
[MX1] GEA -> THR
OFFSET 0
0% + 13%
SW ALWAYS ON
[MX2] THR -> FLA
OFFSET - 30
+ 10% -125%
SW ALWAYS ON
[MX3] THR -> FLA
OFFSET 0
0% + 86%
SW AILE D/R
[MX4] THR-> ELE
OFFSET 0
0% -59%
SW ALWAYS ON
The other important settings in [TRAVEL ADJ] are:
THRO
H 14%
L 150%
GEAR
+ 0%
- 0%
Of course the exact settings will depend on you plane. With this the Right switch does camber and the Aile D/R switch switches between landing and launching mode on the throttle. Launching mode hasn't been tested, but crow/landing has, and seems okay.
Some of the mixers may be redundant as well, for example, I can't see how the [MX 1] GEA -> THR could be doing anything (as gear is 0 % 0%). The original purpose was that throwing the right switch would change the flapperon mode, and also gear output, which would be mixed to the actual flaps (GEA -> THR).
MX2 and MX3 give the complex mixing of flapperons (FLA) and the flaps (THR) to give launch flaps or crow, depending on if MX3 is on or not.
MX4 gives elevator for when the crow is activated.
Hopefully this will give some idea how to go forward with this radio. Mostly it is a case of changing numbers in the mixers until you get the behaviour you want. More flight testing is needed though. If anyone improves on this or has an alternative method for this radio, I'd like to hear about it.
Have fun,
Marty :)
