camera trickery or faulty elevators? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90qcYnCLIoA forward to about 25 seconds, the elevator halves appear to be moving in opposite directions....

You can use that mix as said above...but look closely and the vertical stab seems to be moving too.....perhaps it's a bit of mix and reflection of the covering from the vibration of the engine......

I'd say that was a camera effect, the same as what was happening with the prop.
The ailerons were not moving or being moved significantly (to my eyes at least) but the elevators were moving, so I call the vibration of the elevators was being picked up and smoothed out like the rotation of the prop, they look like they are moving smoothly when in real life they are actually shaking like crazy....
A tip to watch out for is that the elevators stop moving when the prop stops moving, section 45sec - 56sec shows this very clearly.
Very interesting to see just how much shaking is happening back there

it must take balls to use a mix like that

Your right!! My buddy has his mix set up so that the elevators operate normally until both the rudder and ailerons are activated with at least 50% input. When flying on low rates, the mix doesn't activate at all, and when flying on high rates it doesn't activate as long as the stick inputs are gentle, but when he decides to get crazy, it gets crazy!!

Dead on! This is nothing more than a function of the frames per second meshing with the frequency of the tails vibration.

You can't be serious!!!! If his elevator is vibrating that bad, he better not fly it!!



But, they seem to do very well with what they program into their radio systems, don't they.
