Default RE: Nitro Models Kangaroo Mods - Sheeting

OK! New radio is Awesome! It has a couple options for using 2 servos on 1 surface. There is a dedicated function for it, but you cant use that and the Elevon function at the same time, so I used a P-mix on the elevator. Actually, 2 mixes; one of the elevator servos is slaved to the elevator part of the elevon, and the 2nd elevator servo is slaved to the first. I made some paper protractors to get them lined up properly. I also have the nosewheel steering servo slaved to the rudder channel. that way I can trim it individually using the sub trims, and it turns off when the wheels retract. This not only saves a bit of power, but makes it so the nosewheel cant turn as the wheels come up if I hit the rudder. If the wheel turned much, it would jam going into the body. (I know because it already happened )
