== Mamba 10 with Crow ==
The Mamba 10 is the only PNP 3D foam biplane on the market in this size with four individual aileron servos instead of two servos with interconnect linkages. When the Mamba 10 is shipped from the Factory, it is setup with the Left Ailerons (Upper and Lower) Y-Harnessed together and connected the Aura Port S2. The Right Ailerons (Upper and Lower) are Y-Harnessed together and connected to the Aura Port S3. This configuration allows the pilot to easily setup the Mamba 10 to quickly get the Mamba 10 flying!

For Advanced pilots, the Mamba 10 servo connections can be connected independently so the Aura so can control each Aileron servo individually. By using the advanced features of the Aura AFCS, a simple 6-Channel transmitter can be used to fly the Mamba 10 with the “world famous QQ biplane crow”. Crow is used to slow down lines and helps make amazing short-field landings by simultaneously raising both upper ailerons and lowering both bottom ailerons to increase drag.

To modify your Mamba 10 to fly with Crow, you must:
* Modify the factory Aura configuration using the Aura Config Tool
* Update the Servo Connections to the Aura

In order to fly the Mamba 10 with Crow, you must connect your Receiver to the Aura with a modern Digital Receiver connection such as:
* Spektrum Remote Receiver or SRXL <small>''[[Aura/SpektrumUse|See the Spektrum Use Notes for Additional Details]]''</small>
* Futaba S.Bus [[Aura/FutabaUse|See the Futaba Use Notes for Additional Details]]''</small>
* Graupner SumD <small>''[[Aura/GraupnerHottUse|See the Graupner Use Notes for Additional Details]]''</small>
* JR Mode B, Taranis S.Bus, and some Jeti UDI digital systems have been successfully implemented. <small>''[[Aura/JetiUse|See the Jeti Use Notes for Additional Details]]''</small><br/>

''Note: You cannot setup the Mamba 10 with Crow if you connect your Receiver to the Aura with Traditional PWM Servo Extensions.''

== Convert your Mamba 10 Factory Setup to the Mamba 10 with Crow Setup ==

=== Step 1 - Modify the factory Aura Configuration ===
[[File:Mamba10_Create_Aura_Config_File_With_Crow.mp4|right|600px]]
If you haven't installed the Aura Config Tool yet, follow the instructions to [[Aura/AuraConfigToolInstall|Install the Aura Config Tool]].

You must use at least version 1.1.4.0 of the Aura Config Tool. Follow the instructions to [[Aura/AuraConfigToolReleaseNotes|Check and your Aura Config Tool Version and Update]] if necessary.

==== Create the Mamba 10 Config File Crow ====
# Make sure there are no batteries or power applied to the Aura or Receiver.
# Plug the USB Cord from the PC to the Aura Micro-USB port.
# Start the Aura Config Tool
# Click 'Connect' in the bottom right corner. Confirm the Aura connect is an Mamba 10 Aura with Aura Firmware v1.4+.
# Go to File and chose “New Aura Config Tool File Wizard”
# Name your aircraft if desired, otherwise it will default to an appropriate name
# Select 'Control Template': ''''Mamba 10 Crow - Stock'''' or ''''Mamba 10 Crow - Expert''''
#* ''''Mamba 10 Crow - Stock'''' is the Crow Aileron Setup with the Factory Flight Modes (Gyro Off, Sport, 3D)
#* ''''Mamba 10 Crow - Expert'''' is the Crow Aileron Setup with the Expert Flight Modes (High Speed 3D, Sport, Slow Speed 3D)
#* The 'Wing Type' will be selected as '4 Ailerons' when Crow is selected
#* See the [[Mamba10/QuickSet|Additional information on the Mamba 10 Flight Modes]]
# Select your 'Transmitter Type'
# Select your 'Receiver Type'
# Select your 'Aura Port'
## If you selected a 'Receiver Type' of 'PWM', the Config Tool will force you to choose a different Receiver Type if you have Crow selected.
# Click 'Finish'
# Save the Aura Config File to an easy to remember location on your PC
# Click the 'Write All to Aura' button to write the Mamba 10 with Crow configuration to the Aura.
# After the file is written, click the 'Disconnect' button and unplug the Micro-USB cord.

=== Step 2 - Change the Servo Connections for the Mamba 10 with Crow ===
# Make sure there are no batteries or power applied to the Aura or Receiver.
# Move the Rudder Servo from Aura Port S5 to Aura Port S7.
# Move the Elevator Servo from Aura Port S4 to Aura Port S6.
# Remove the Y-Harnesses from the Left and Right Ailerons.
# Add Servo Extensions to all 4 Aileron Servo Leads. The 4-Channel Aileron Servo Extension Kit is available as [http://www.flexinnovations.com/product-p/fpm327012.htm FPM327012].
# Plug the Lower Left Aileron into Aura Port S2.
# Plug the Upper Left Aileron into Aura Port S3.
# Plug the Lower Right Aileron into Aura Port S4.
# Plug the Upper Right Aileron into Aura Port S5.
