Krysta,

Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestions, and still have problems. In the original post I did try each of these cases separately. Each was tried with all the others off. So now lets break this up into individual cases and look at each one separately.

For Airplane, 2 aileron flying wing, normal tail type. RUD-AIL feature works as expected, but RUD-ELE feature does not.

Here is what I did:
1 - Re-select Airplane model type, 2 aileron flying wing type, normal tail.
2 - Data reset - All Model Setting (now everything is cleared).
3 - RUD-ELE MIX activate and enter a % for rate A and B
-- No elevator response on either surface to rudder stick inputs.

This mix will not work, as your Elevators are now Ailerons per the wing type you chose. You must select the Rudder-Aileron mix for this.


(this is exactly what I did for RUD-AIL mix and it worked fine)

4 - RUD-ELE MIX “Link” activated.

Again, Rudder to Elevator will not work, per the wing type..

-- Still no elevator response on either surface to rudder stick inputs.
(Link was not needed for the RUD_AIL mix to work)
So your reply for this question in the above posting does not get it to work ??


For PROG.MIX Throttle to Aileron, and Throttle to Elevator.
Activating the “link” feature as you suggested in the above post did fix the throttle to aileron response. Both ailerons now move with throttle stick input.
However the link feature did NOT help throttle to elevator. Still absolutely no response by either sruface to to throttle stick input. This is again, because your radio is recognizing the Elevator as Aileron because of the wing type chosen.

Regarding the mixes below, again this all falls on to which wing type was chosen, you will need to mix Rudder or Throttle with Aileron, not Elevator.

I guess I am confused here as to why, if you are getting aileron movement out of both servos in the Rudder to Aileron mix, why you are wanting to do a Rudder to Elevator mix. You elevator is now your second servo per the wing type you selected.


Here is what I did:
1 - Re-select Airplane model type, 2 aileron flying wing type, normal tail.
2 - Data reset - All Model Setting (now everything is cleared).
3 - I even verified RUD-AIL and RUD-ELE are both inhibited after the data reset.
4 - PROG.MIX, activate, assign throttle as master and Aileron as slave, set slave Link +, enter a % for rate A and B.
-- All good. Both surfaces respond with aileron movement to throttle stick input.

5 - Then go into that same PROG.MIX and simply change slave assignment from Aileron to Elevator.
-- No response by either surface to throttle stick inputs.

Start over and try it again:
1 - Re-select Airplane model type, 2 aileron flying wing type, normal tail.
2 - Data reset - All Model Setting (now everything is cleared).
3 - I even verified that RUD-AIL and RUD-ELE are both inhibited after the data reset.
4 - PROG.MIX, activate, assign throttle as master and ELEVATOR as slave, set slave Link +, enter a % for rate A and B.
-- No response by either surface to throttle stick inputs.

I think something else is going on here ???
