RX 6004FF Connections
CH1 (AILE) = Left Aileron AIL1
CH2 (ELV) = Elevator
CH3 (THR) = Battery
CH4 (RUDD) = Right Aileron AIL2

TX 10CP Connections
CH1 (AILE) = Left Aileron AIL1
CH2 (ELV) = Elevator
CH3 (ARBK) = N/C
CH4 (RUDD) = N/C
CH5 (AUX1) = N/C
CH6 (FLAP) = Right Aileron AIL2
CH7 (AUX2) = N/C

FLAPERON
On these settings, only AIL1 will adjust anything on the plane, and you will need to adjust the PMIX1 to set AIL2.

OFFSET
This is particular to your application, one thing I will say is FLAP will not work, you need to adjust the RUDD rate to move AIL2. I use this to set the camber settings for my various flight modes.

CAMBER MIX
This function appears to not work, even with a mix from FLAP to RUDD only AIL1 will move. So the luxury of having adjustable camber is achieved by a couple of PMIXs (PMIX7 & 8), camber adjustment by moving VrD (left side knob).

BUTTERFLY MIX
This function appears to not work, even with a mix from FLAP to RUDD only AIL1 will move. So set your AIL1 movement and use PMIX5 to set the other AIL2 deflection.
AIL1 61%
FLAP 0%

B.FLY-> ELEV MIX
This function will only work if the BUTTERFLY MIX is enabled, as usually set your elevator compensation under crow here.
MID -16
END -30

ELEV->FLAP / SNAP FLAP
This function doesn’t work properly and will only operate AIL1, use PMIX6 to adjust AIL2 deflections
RATE -23/-23

CONDITIONS
These are the flight modes I have programmed, distance is my thermal mode, start is my launch preset and my normal mode (no condition) is my cruse settings.
