As far as I can tell this simple transmitter has no programming capabilities. For most sport models you will not need to mix rudder to aileron to execute a turn.

Just what kind of "coordinating"did you have in mind?
Which park flyer do you have? Multiplex makes several versions.

As Bruce said, I think that there is a "terminology" issue here. Are you saying that both ailerons do not move when you move the stick on the radio?? One aileron should move up and the other should move down. Is that your problem?

when i pull to elevate i have to pull down and to the left to get both ailerons to raise and push forward and to the right to decline and it does'nt matter what servo i have plugged into the receiver it remains the same (futaba 114 receiver)

What tail configuration does it have?
No actual ailerons but "tailerons"?
You have us working in the dark still.
Picture ? Link to picture? Something?

Is this the plane you have? If so, it uses elevons and requires a transmitter with mixing capability to mix the elevator and aileron functions. The Futaba Skysport 4VF does not have these function.
Where you wanting to use Micro Jet RR to learn on? If so, it'll last all of about 5 seconds. Its a plane for experienced pilots, and you need to consider a basic trainer to learn on with proper instruction.

I've been taken for my money, I PURCHASED THIS PLANE AND A F-16 HORNET THAT I know I can't fly and now I need new controls also any suggestions ?

I'm gonna have to disagree with Hogflyer here. The Tower add doesn't indicate any special radio or mixing needed and in fact only calls for a very basic radio.

It's also a very inexpensive plane overall but I can't tell how difficult it would be to fly. It is very unfortunate that Tower failed to include an instructions link on their page.
MAGTF - if you purchased this from Tower call their support line for help. Otherwise contact Multiplex at http://www.multiplexusa.com or 1-858-748-6948
I'm betting it's something simple.

Here's the manual for the Micro Jet RR
http://www.multiplexusa.com/Support/...s/microjet.pdf
From what I can see, it has elevons. On page 9 of the manual is the first mention of "elevon" in the servo hook up. It's a poor manual written in multiple languages. I think Tower just skimmed through the manul and got some basic info from there. There is bottom view on page 18, and graphics on pages 15 through 18. I don't see any other way to control the plane as it doesn't have separate elevators and ailerons.

This plane requires the elevon mixer, Tower has one for the Super Slinger that he can use.
There is nothing deceptive about this... merely a "user error".

It's cheap.

I purchased this plane at hobby house in North Royalton, Ohio. I called the manufacturer and yes it does need a mixer, I'm going to start all over. I'll keep this plane for future use. Thanks to all of you for your responses, two heads are better than one!
