Bruce,

thats exactly what I did on New Year's eve. Before everyone jumps at what I just said, the idea was to fly on Sunday the 1st of Jan.

I started with mechanically adjusting neutral. First I set everything to 100%, then opened the clevises and screwed them all the way in on the rod. Then I unscrewed them counting the turns as I went along. I got 10 turns to neutral on one and 12 turns to neutral on the other. Then I used the subtrim function to make the neutral adjustment. Next, I set 100% deflection on both elevator halves both by sight and by using a scale- after adjusting both the elevator halves to deflect equally by using the endpoint adjustment, I set the neutral again from subtrim (which finally came out to -8 on the one elevator). Having done this iteratively several times, I found that the deflections were fairly close-within a mm or two of each other. Also, the deflections at the lower throws were checked and minor adjustment to the endpoints (about 1 or 2 units) were made to keep the difference between the elevator halves at low, medium and high throws at a minimum. I think I did a fairly good job. Did the same with the ailerons, though it was much faster to do those after I made the mechanical adjustment first.

My TX doesnt have a 'dual servo' setting. I am using a 9CAP and if I am not mistaken, Futaba treats all 'dual servo' setups as mixes. So 'Flaperon' and 'ailvon' are preset mixes. Earlier, I didnt understand why my elevator was linked to flap. Later, after I realised that 'flap' was just a name for channel7, setting up the thing became much easier.

It was 1.30am on the 1st of Jan before I went to sleep and consequently did not fly on Sunday. I will get to test my settings on the coming Saturday
