4. Now you'll set the flap knob's travel direction. This is similar to the reversing menu, but it
reverses the response of both flaperons if flaperon mode is active.
Pressing the key one time causes the large sign in front of the number to blink. You

may reverse the travel direction by selecting the minus (–) sign.
5. Pressing the key again moves to the flap travel setting number (the percent sign
CURSOR
should now be flashing). The 30% default value produces "reasonable" travel for many models,
but you must try it out on your own model to be sure. A 100% setting causes extreme travel and
is not recommended. You may want to set it to a smaller number, say 10% for starters. If you
wish to return to the default 50% setting, press both the (+) and (–) keys simultaneously.
