RE: Exceed FA-18C control problems
Sometimes ( or more correctly quite often ) the connectors are not plugged into the proper RX channels as the plane comes from the factory.
Try temporarily disconnecting the elevator channel lead on the RX, and plugging the ailerons into that, just to make sure that the ailerons are operating correctly.
If that works then try the reverse, putting the elevator lead into the aileron channel, to make sure that the RX is also working correctly.
