Default RE: Ch5 as second elevator servo using F9


ORIGINAL: RCKen

This is from the Futaba FAQ on the 9C. You can find the answer here: [link]http://futaba-rc.com/faq/faq-9c-q512.html[/link]

or, here is a reprint

Use channel 7 for the second elevator servo instead of 5.


Radio System FAQ
I want to set up two servos to operate a single surface, but not use a preset feature like flaperons or ailevators to do so. How can I do this with a mix?
You can use a free mix to set up the twin elevator servos, or any other two-servo combination by simply doing a pmix of the primary channel to the secondary channel at 100% with trim on and link on, offset off and switch assignment NULL so that the mix is always active. Here is an example of mixing 2 to 7:

A. Standard mix from 2 to 7 to work twin elevators:


___ Press Mode (twice if needed) to open Advanced Menu
___ Dial up or down to a free Programmable Mix and press Dial to select
___ Cursor Down twice and turn dial LEFT to activate mix
___ Cursor Down and turn Dial to select channel 2 (elevator)
___ Cursor Down and turn Dial to select channel 7 (Aux1)
___ Cursor Down and turn Dial left to turn Link ON
___ Cursor Down and turn Dial left to turn Trim ON
___ Cursor Down twice and confirm switch position is NULL
___ Cursor Down, pull positive elevator, and turn Dial Left to -100%
___ Push negative elevator, and turn Dial Left to -100%
___ Press End twice to close Menu

B. Turn off default control of channel 7 in Aux-Ch screen so VRC does not affect the second elevator servo.

___ Press Mode Button (twice if needed) to open Basic menu
___ Turn Dial up or down and Press to select Aux Ch
___ Press Cursor Twice and then turn Dial left until reads CH7 NULL
___ Press End twice to close Menu

Ok I have a 7 ch hitec 2.4 with 9C radio
I want to use channel 5 as my second elevator. I used this and set it up using 5 instead of 7 it worked but the ch 5 elevator is lagging until full travel is obtained.
I tried switching to channel 7 on the elevator using that mix and set up 5 as the other aileron. Only now both ailerons move and one elev move with them.
I am so confused I wnt to slit my wrists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
