ORIGINAL: dkalins I'm having trouble mixing channels 1 & 2. I have "elevons" active, but the aileron function moves the wrong direction. when I reverse it, it shifts to elevator. When i reverse the elevator channel, it goes back to ailersons (in the wrong direction.) I've tried all combinations. Anthing simple I'm not doing??? Anyone?
Common problem. If both same model servo, usually fixed by simply swapping the servo leads Ch1<>Ch2. or trying several combinations as follows:
1. Set both servo reversing switches to Normal, and start again with
Left aileron in Ch1, Right aileron in ch 2.
Ensure both horns either face toward the fuselage or both horns face out toward the wing tips.
If not then operating correctly -
2. Swap the servo leads to the opposite pins. AOK = good . NOK>
3. Swap leads back to orignal pins and reverse switch ch 1, if NOK reverse switch ch 2. If still NOK switch ch 1 back to Normal. AOK = good. NOK>
4. Swap servo leads to opposite pins on Rx, retry and then in need, reverse switch ch 1, if NOK reverse switch ch 2. If still NOK switch ch 1 back to Normal. AOK = good.
<span style="font-size: smaller">[ Do not use Hitec servo on one side and a Futaba on other as they rotate opposite directions and can be a PITA to set up as a pairfor elevons.]
