F-90 Elevator set-up

Any suggestions on how to set up the elevators on my F-90. I currently have them connected to channel 2 & 5 with mixing set up on one of the optional mixing settings. I am using a Futaba 9 CAP and when I use the throttle cut the right elevator goes up. I'm not sure why this happens but there must be a better way to set this up. Any help will be appreciated.

If you have 8 channels:

What is the easiest way to do twin elevator servos?
Use the ailevator function, designed for just this purpose.

Plug servos into 2 and 8
Go to AILEVATOR
Make the function active

Test your elevator movement. If one is going the wrong direction, reverse the % for that servo (ie -100%).

IMPORTANT READ ME: Do you want your elevator servos to also act with your ailerons? If NOT, you must reset the AIL3 and AIL4 numbers to 0.

If you cannot use channel 8 for some reason, then you will want to use mix(es) instead.

RE: F-90 Elevator set-up

I have a few planes set up on a 9C the same way you described. I don't have enough 8 channel RXs to go around. The 7 channels work fine on 2 & 5. There must be something set wrong if the throttle cut is affecting one of the channels. Is the link turned on or off on the P mix?

Thanx Dave, now I know I'm not doing something riduculous. I found the prob with the throttle cut. Yes it was the switch.

RE: F-90 Elevator set-up

I'm trying to dial in a dual elevator setup on my Funtana 90 with a 7CAP and really just don't know where to start. I know I have to use one (maybe 2?) of the 3 available mixes, but nothing I try seems to work quite right. Trying to search for help but nothing yet. Any advice? Or will I just have to settle for a Y harness (or Y-reversing harness)? Thanks.
