I have been trying to set up the radio for my ef yak and am getting some weird results. I am using a JR 8103 digital trim heli radio with a airplane program. The heli version has different nob locations, but should have the same programming.
I will start with the elevator. I set a prgramable mixes
prog.mix5
aux3-aux3
-100
-100
sw: on
offset
0
prog.mix6
elev-aux3
+100
+100.
sw: on
offset
0
From what I understand this will make the nob that turns for aux3 useless so that when you press it it doesn't effect your elevator. The problem is that one elevator moves more than the other. In order for the elevator to move equally I have to set
prog.mix6
elev-aux3
+73
+60.
sw: on
offset
0
Those numbers are close estimationsby eye and would like to have +100 on both sides for them to be the same.
The aileron is
prog.mix3
pot6-flap
+100
+100
sw: on
offset
0
prog.mix4
elev-flap
-28
-31.
sw: on
offset
0
Now how do I fix this mess so that I disable the switch nobs and have them move the same distances with 100%

Go to Horizon Hobbies, look up the 8103 and there is a artical by Danny Snyder on how to set up duel elev. servos with this radio.. Thats what I did.. I have 3 planes programed that way in my 8103.
Good Luck

I looked over the guide and that is exactly what I am doing except that I am using aux3 instead of aux 2. I disable the nob the same way and and use the mixes the same way. I even tried it the same way with aux2 that the link had and one servo is still moving more than the other. In the stick monitor screen on my 8103 it even tells we that the servos are moving the same distances, but I can clearly see that they are not.
