Default 14MZ and dual rudders???

How can I set up dual rudders on my 34% plane using the 5114 reciever and the 14MZ?? If I use the winglet mode I loose the dual elevators. If I use the dual elevator tail I only get one rudder? Please help.

Thanks Joel,
I gave that a try and it seems to be working good, even with 3 dual rate setups.

Select two channels. Program one to be "Rudder", and the other to be "Rudder2". Make sure "Rudder2" has the same control and trim as "Rudder". For best response, use two adjacent channels in the same group. I used channels 10 and 11 on my TX, and changed the original rudder channel to an unused Aux channel.

Thanks Bax,
But that didn't work for mine. I tried using the dual elevator tail and just punching in Rudder 2 for the second rudder. What did finally work was to use Rudder,,Rudder. Then it would run on the dual rates and expos that I programmed. Rudder 2 would not run on the expos unles I used the delta wing dual rudder selection.

Yes, you will have to adjust the "Rudder2" AFR to suit.

Thanks Bax,
Is there any problems running "Rudder,,Rudder" on two differant channels? This seems to work good. Thanks.

No, there are no problems with that.
