Default RE: Dual Servo Delta Setup on 12X?


ORIGINAL: uk-heliman

Hi,

Just getting to grips with my new 12X and wondered if I am doing something wrong or perhaps this new set does not support what I am trying to do with an inbuilt mix.

Basically I want a delta wing with dual servos, the manual says that dual servos are available, but when I select wing type delta it will only let me select RUD or FLAP, AILE and ELEV are greyed out??? If I select a nother wing type they are un-greyed, am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Sean
Sean,

You are not missing anything obvious because the 12X (surprisingly) does not support dual servos in the Delta wing type. I went through this process a few months back with the assistance of a JR rep. We eventually came up with 4 program mixes in conjunction with Delta wing type to accomplish the task. Here's how:

Select DELTA wing type. Plug the left wing servos into Ail and Aux 4 and the right wing servos into Elev and Aux 2. Program the following mixes:
Ail+ to Aux 2 pos 0 L +100 R +100
Ail+ to Aux 4 pos 0 L +100 R +100
Elev+ to Aux 2 pos 0 D -100 U -100
Elve+ to Aux 4 pos 0 D +100 U +100

You will have to experiment with the throw directions depending upon the direction your servos are installed. The "+" behind the master channels means that they will trim the slave channel but each servo can be sub-trimmed independently to get them matched up.

Of course you could also just use two matchboxes!

Hope this helps.
