Default Strange problem with RC controller

Hello.

I have encountered a very strange problem with my Radio equipment for an RTF Sky Pilot by Hobicco.
The plane comes with a 3channel controller by Futaba transmitting at 27Mhz

Here's what is going on: By moving the control stick for evelator and rudder there is a movement of both elevator and rudder simultaneously! Regardless of whether I push the control stick to the right or left (for the rudder) or up or down (for the elevator) , the result is always the same-both servos move at once.

I though the reason was some malfunctioning on the receiver/ESC, but since I got a new one and the problem persists I concluded the reason was the controller. So, is there something I can do to fix that? I have another 4 channel controller by Futaba (Futaba 4YF 4-Channel FM Radio System); is there a possibility to make that one work for the particular plane by using the appropriate frequency crystal? That would be the best option if it is possible...

I appreciate your suggestions.
