Elevon programming trouble
[:@]I have just completed a Delta foamie that requires elevons. I followed the directions for the Tx and RX (DX6i Spektrum/orange 4ch) . Right servo to elevator, left servo to aileron on RX. The results are: evevator works correctly, ailerons are reversed. I have tried reversing the aileron function and end up with up going left, down going right, right going down, and left going up. This is very wrong. I tried reversing the elevator and ended up with only one surface working at a time resulting in roll left or right depending on up or down, or left or right. I really don't understand this. How do I get the ailerons to work correctly?

If your elevators are working properly but the ailerons are reversed, just interchange the ports the two servos are plugged into, that will make them work as you want.

RE: Elevon programming trouble
Thanks guys. The DX6i elevon setting is only on or off, no tinkering. The switching of leads did the trick. Either the book is wrong (same instructions in the DX5e book) or the radio is dislexic. Now if the wind will die down some, about 20mph for last 3 days, I'll try that little sucker out!
