RE: New to RC flying
Ted,
I use a Spektrum DX7. It has a "delta wing" configuration within. And the manual (for the DX7) instructed exactly how to set it up.
Im at work right now and its been since mid summer since I set it up, so I dont really recall all of it at the moment.
But in short...the mixing basically separates the signal for elevator and aileron (which is what is called "elevons").
I run my radio to have the aileron function (left / right motion of the right stick) move the elevons in opposite directions to make the plane bank left or right. Then, I have the elevator function (up /down motion of the right stick) move the elevons in the same direction to make the plane climb or dive.
Works just like any other plane when flying.
