Radio System FAQ
How can I get my gear doors to open and close delayed to the movement of my gear?
The easiest way to do this is using two additional conditions and a slightly unusual single switch setup. With this set up, the gear doors will open rapidly and the gear will lower slowly when gear is lowered; then when the gear is raised, the gear raises rapidly and the gear doors close slowly behind them. If you use the base condition, both gear doors and gear will move at full speed.
Get everything else operating exactly as desired in the base condition. {Note, in this example, switch E the 1 position is the base condition which we will not use in flight (but is required for proper operation of the radio), the 0 position is the DOWN condition and the 2 position is the UP condition. Alternatively, the base to gear down condition could be caused by a switch, slider, or knob positioning after the radio is on, then a 2-position switch could be used to create the up/down scenario.}
Note that the gear and doors now move slower any time you are in the appropriate condition; however, in our case we are only moving them when changing conditions, so it is not important.
| Set up everything as desired in the base condition except the gear up/down and gear door operation. |
| Copy the base condition into 2 other conditions, one called 'down' and one 'up'. | See instructions on creating and copying conditions. |
| Set the servo slow action in both conditions. | With switch in 0 position, open ATV and set gear channel delay to 100%. | O B F R J M |
| Move switch to 2 position, set door delay to 100% | O M M N R |
| In the gear up position, offset mix gear 100% | With switch in 2 position, Select and activate Pmix1 | O B I F A F |
| Offset, switch null, 100%, gear | D F P I N C I O M N N |
| In the gear up position, offset mix aux2 100% | Select and activate Pmix 2 offset, switch null, 100%, close the menu | O B I G A F D F P I N C L O M N N N R |
