Curious question about a flight controller and Flaps

[Derek]

I'm considering taking off the OrangeRX 3 axis flight stabilizer that I have on my Cargo Dropper plane and adding a flight controller with just a Spektrum DSMX satellite rx. I figure the satellite rx would be good enough for this plane because it will only be flown LOS. If the range of a satellite rx is good enough for our mini quads, why wouldn't it work on this plane? I think it will, right?

Anyway, my curious question is this. I have my DX8 (8 channel tx, obviously). If I do this setup with a flight controller, can I still use the Flaps (AUX1) switch to control my flaps? Or is there something else that I'd need to do?

Interesting one Derek:)
