Default Programming help

I have a Futaba 6XAS, and need some help programming it. What I am after is a way to program my 4 control surface servos, 1 for each aileron and 1 for each stabilator half, so that when I give left aileron, the left stabilator goes up, and right one goes down, just like the ailerons; but when I give up, or down, input, the stabilators move in the appropriate direction in unison. I know someone in this forum has done this before, and probably answered this very question. I just am too inept to find it.

Waiting for your input.

Try the Futaba forum. AMC or one of the gurus there should be able to help_bob

I believe you will find this is asking too much of the 6X.

This is the "ailevator" function that is found on the 9C

1.connect left aileron and left elev to 1
2. connect right aileron and right elev. to another
3 connect these (2) y's to the 3rd and plug in the aileron slot in yur reciever.

The 6xas will not allow you to do that (you would need 4 channels just for that). You can seperate the ailerons and possibly use a v-tail mixer (Wattage has these). If you were to go to an 8U,9C, or 9Z it could probably be done through the radio. I have not played with my 9C in that manner yet, I do have the elevator haves on seperate channels though as well as the ailerons.

Default 9C

I wanted an excuse to move up, anyway! Thanks for the input. I was really afraid that would be the answer, but needed confirmation.
