what is the setup for DX6i and 6ch Rx to have Spoilerons and V tail mix?

more precisely what channel to plug the 2 ailerons servos and the 2 V tail servos?

thanks

On page 45 of the manual, it states that you can use a Wing Tail Type of Dual Aileron, Elevon, or Vtail. Since you cannot chose more than one, I would hook up Right Aileron servo to Aileron (Ch2) and Left Aileron servo to Aux1 (Ch6). They would need to be mixed using a Programmable Mixer to be used as Spoilerons.

Choosing the Wing Tail Type of Vtail, you would hook the Right Elevator servo to Rudder (Ch4) and the Left Elevator servo to Elevator (Ch3).

Thanks BB for the help!

I imagine the CH6 (Aux1) is named as "FLAPS" in the Programmable Mix menu (p70)?

And I suppose the "slave" value for the spoilerons would be 100%, or would that be 100% for one and -100% for the other (to go up for both)? Not sure on that one.

For most radios, Ch6 is Flaps or Aux1

You will have to play around with the values in the Mixer until you achieve the correct movement.

BB,
I did the first two mixes OK. Now I have the V tail mix working and the ailerons slaved from ch2 to ch6 (with the mix switch always ON) working as normal ailerons should.

Now i'm lost on how to mix in another switch for the spoilerons to go up for both ailerons.

Can give me a hint what to do next?

For your Aileron mix, you want to set the Switch parameter to None so that you do not accidentally hit a switch and disable one Aileron.

You will probably need another mix setting the ailerons to just go up when you flip a switch.

Got it![8D]

I programed FLAP to go up (-) and then slaved AIL to FLAP... works like a charm!

Thanks Bush Barber

Bush, I'm done with the setup, everything works A OK, except the RUDDER input is reversed!

BUT, since it is a V tail, reversing the RUD CH also reverses the ELEV input.

SO as it is now, I can either have the ELEV correct & the RUD reversed or the other way around[:@]

There must be a way out of this, just don't know how right now...

Thanks
V.

Make sure that the Left V-Tail is in the Elevator Channel port and the Right V-Tail is in Rudder Channel port.
