    Find the flaps section of the menu and you may find the flaps are inhibited by default. This is done for the people who commonly use the 2 channels for aileron servo setup to prevent accidentally altering both ailerons up/down at the same time.
    FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

    current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

        You are using the default setting for the flap switch. You must tell the TX that you have "aircraft type - 1 AIL, 1 Flap" in order to open up the flap menu. In there, you will see the column where you can select elevator compensation.

            It's likely that you've got cross current contamination in the control board or double check to make sure all plugs are seated correctly in their proper slots. You should separate out the flaps and hook them directly to the RX.
            Oh, do the retracts actually deploy or do you just see a small deflection on the monitor?
