"Ailevator" function on JR PCM 10
Anybody come across this feature which is part of the Dual elevator capability??
Cutting a long story short, I have two servos attached to elevators, one is mounted on the fuz about a servos width higher on the left side of the fuz, and the opposite mounted on the other, thus don't interfere with each other.
Because of this, one servo arm is high, the other low, meaning the pushrods are differing lengths. I can't explain why but mechanical advantage creeps in meaning at the extrem of up and down, one elevator will be about 5mm higher than the other, and when fully down, the opposite elevator will again be about 5mm further deflected.[:@]
The dual elevator function should allow me to manage this...... I think, and the phrase ailevator in the manual seems to suggest it will, as it talks of loops and twisting, which is of course the effect you would get.
However nowhere else on the TX or in the manual can I find a reference to ailevator.
Confession is that this is a prop plane[X(], but I will be using dual elevators for jet models, so the need to know is just as important. Please forgive me!!!

You should be able to plug one servo into an aux channel, create a mix, and then set the travel on the other channel to even them up, or use the offset at less than 100%. Think that will work. Any other ideas. Bob

just go into Func select 17
and activate the dual elev function
Plug one servo into 3 and the other into 8-then you can use ATV and subtrim
The Tx ele trim will operate both servos...

I got everything confused, pressed buttons added mixes, worked it out not, and then thought, I know, RCU!!!
