It is a good idea to use +/- 30% initially, and then adjust the curve to suit the servo and
linkages with the model powered up. This ensures that the servo will not be driven
beyond its mechanical limits, which would overload the servo and lead to failure. The
curve midpoint is edited to achieve the surface neutral position.
Example 2: Flap1
In a similar way the Flap1 channel can have a 'Flap1Lim' curve assigned to it. In addition,
Slow Up and Slow Down could be set to 1 second, so that the flaps move to the new
position slowly.
Note that Flaps normally require a large amount of down deflection for effective braking.
To achieve this large downward deflection, you can sacrifice some of the upward
deflection when making the linkages. This means that the Flaps will be in a half down
position at servo center. The three points of the curve are adjusted to achieve the
desired flap up, flap half, and flap full positions.
