Ok...I am either not thinking clearly, having a senior moment. I am restoring my Ultra Stick Lite to flying shape and am just about finished. This past weekend, I got the final electronics installed along with the G-26 power plant and began testing the set up. All surfaces move properly and in the right direction. Now i just have to adjust travel. When testing the ailerons, I noticed that both left and right were a little low. So I switched into sub-trim and even though they are operating correctly when I move the sticks, the sub trim for the left aileron moves the right one...and the right sub trim moves the left one. So I reversed the servo leads from the wing to the receiver...same thing. I am using an AR600 receiver, but I can't see that would make any difference.

What am I missing?...I feel a Duh moment here.

The servo lead going into the AIL slot in the receiver is assigned LAIL when you activate dual ailerons. RAIL is the Aux channel that you mated.

If you swap the servo leads then you should swap the sub trim.

+1 ... do have the airplane program set up to use Dual Ailerons, or are you manually mixing aileron to another channel?

I will check the answer to both questions. I originally had a 72mhz receiver in the plane and swapped it out for the AR600. I then plugged in the leads and went through the binding process. I will check the servo leads and the AIL programming for the correct settings. It could be that both items are the issue.

Will let you know what I find.

I got it all checked out. No Aileron Mixes, but thanks for the idea to check them Jim. Barracuda has it right, I reversed the aileron plugs on the receiver and it all works fine now. Both the ailerons and sub trim work on the correct surface and in the right direction.

Thanks for your input guys.

no worries,,, I thought you'd said you swapped em and that didnt fix the issue.
(Andy knows his stuff ) I've had a DX8 for almost a year and haven't needed to even look at sub trims yet...
think I'll do a little playing with it again tonite.

Jim,... Yes, I did say I switched them, but may have put them back in the same place. I didn't pull them out of the receiver, but unplugged the extensions from the wing leads and replugged them in. It had to be that since this time I reversed the servo leads on the receiver and it worked. It wouldn't be the first time I thought I was changing something only to find out I set it up exactly the same way twice. I am already electrically challenged without doing something like that.
