You need a radio with elevon mixing or you need an elevon mixing board, like this...

The left elevon should go up when you push the stick left, both elevons should go up when you pull the stick back...

What kind of radio are you using?

Some have built in Elevon mixing and some don't. And they approach the set-up differently.

So you get the proper for the aileron action?

If you go left stick, does the left aileron go up and the right one go down?

If not, reverse both servos and see if that does it. If not, remove the reverse.


Now, switch the two servos. That is, swap what slot the are plugged into in the reveiver. Now try it. If it is still not right, reverse both again.

You usually have to play with them a bit till you get the right combo of reverse and receiver slot. Be patient.
