Default RE: Spektrum DX-7

This thread is so old I cannot remember the original question.  I think it was as follows.

I want the ailerons to act as ailerons, however I want the elevator (its split with each half a flying stab) to mimic the aileron movement, as in the F-14.  In addition to this, when I pull back for up elevator, both split stabs should give up, and up front, the ailerons should come down.  Pushing the stick forward should result in both split stabs providing down elevator, and the ailerons should move upward.

Actually, I have this set-up in one of my 20 year old designs.  It is acheived with mechanical mixing and works really well.  Axial roll is that of an arrow.  Loops are extremely tight, both inside and outside.  Once we get a break in the weather, perhaps I can get one of my "Photo" buddies to capture some flight video and I'll post.

I think I posted waaaaay back a question as to how all of this could be electronically programmed.
