FUTABA 8UHPS Instruction Manual page 75

The Flaperon mixing function uses two servos to
individually control two ailerons, combining the
aileron function with the flap function. For a flap
effect, the ailerons can be raised and lowered
simultaneously. Of course, aileron function, where
the two controls move in different directions, is also
performed. The up and down travel of the left and
right ailerons can be adjusted independently, so you
can also get a differential effect.
flap travel can be adjusted individually. You can
combine the Flaperon function with the airbrake
function, to get steep descents without building up
airspeed, which is very convenient for small or
narrow fields. To take advantage of the flaperon
mixing function, you'll need to connect the right
aileron servo to CH1 (AIL) and the left aileron servo
to CH6 (FLP).
NOTE: Only one of the three functions flaperon, aileron differential, or elevon can be used at
a time. All three functions cannot be activated simultaneously. The last function activated
overrides the others.
Setting up the Flaperon function
