RE: DX8 setup question
The best idea I've seen so far is to simply keep it simple. Using a Y connector into the aileron channel is the easiest and probably the safest way to get started with this. Safest because it's pretty hard to mess it up. No mixing, no alternate channels needed, nothing like that. All that needs to be done is to make sure the servo linkage is set up right, connect the ailerons to a Y connnector, plug that into the aileron channel, make sure that the channel is not reversed, then fly the plane.
And, as already said, for the RV9, not much more is needed.
Eventually, if you really want to use mixing and two separate channels, at least you will know that the plane flys just fine with it the most simple setup. Then you can go as advanced as you wish.
But, as also stated, this IS a beginners forum and we realy try to keep things as basic as possible, which is what will get everyone up and flying. More advanced setups are for more advanced pilots that are familiar with both their planes and their radio.
