Default Eurosport:how are the canards mixed to the elevons...

Reuben,
Yes....when you put the locating pin in the wing it will align the wing to the fuse. You may have to sand the wing root a bit to get it to mate with the fuse tight without any gaps. Make sure you add the ply doubler to the fuse and the wing at the locating pin.

Jair,
The canards are mixed to the elevator and are functioning all the time. For initial flights set the canard mix as follows:
15mm Up elevator
10mm Down elevator
Set the elevon throws as per the manual and add in about 30% expo. I now have approx 40 flights on mine and I am experimenting with more canard throw but the above settings are a good place to start. You can also set a mix on a switch so the canard trailing edge drops 5mm for shorter takeoffs but really is not necessary as the plane rotates in approx 150 ft.
Also make sure you follow the canard Mods posted here in an earlier Eurosport thread along with the wing mods.
You will LOVE this plane!
Regards,
Todd
