hi,

on your video at 2:00 - flaps suppose to go down, in your configuration they are called spoilerons.

Yeah..I found that out on another forum..
All pretty new to this,should of checked out how flaps work before I gorilla glued them in.newbie mistake.:oops: ... So now I'm waiting on a reverseing module  to make them go down , as I'm using the landing gear switch on my DX5e which you cann't not reverse the gear channel on :(

Slipso is a fast pylon racer type model, (depending on what motor you use), might be an idea to fly a slower sport type model first  :?:

there is another way around - "reverse" the switch , not the servo
(you may need to replace pushrods).

#1 disconnect pushrods from the servo/wings
#2 flip the switch to a "flaps up" position
#3 trim the flaps level
#4 modify the pushrods to match the new positions of the servo horn and a flaps (I guess, you will have to make them shorter)
#5 install the pushrods back

get it ?
