Default Noob question - Futaba 8JA Tx/R2106GF Rx question - sailplane setup

Hello,

I am a total noob to RC. I am building a Dream Flight Libelle unpowered DLG http://dream-flight.com/products/libelle-dlg . Dream Flight recommended the Futaba radio setup as in the title line. I am following the Dream Flight directions. It informs me to plug in as follows:

Ch 1: Right aileron
Ch 2: Elevator
Ch 4: Rudder
Ch 6: Left aileron

I put power into Ch 3.

I have it set to ACRO which I think is correct.

Moving the sticks:

Right stick forward and back, I get movement of the elevator - CHECK
Right stick laterally: Right aileron
Left stick forward and back: Nothing
Left stick laterally: Rudder

Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks so much.

You really don't say what the problem is, but you need to have the ailerons plugged into channel 1 and 6 in order to have them work if you're using two servos.

You won't get any movement when you move the throttle stick because you only have a battery pack plugged into that channel.
