V Tail trim on 14MZ
First I'm using a 14MZH and just notice that when I set the Trim for the elevator on T3 "which I always use for ease when flying as then there is no need to take hand off stick" I notice that only one side was moving, elevator, so I set the Rudder trim to T3 from T4 and nothing? How do I set elevator/rudder trim on a V Tail so both move at the same time with ONE trim tab movement? Have I set up something wrong in the beginning as both that I tried are all setup as V tails?

I checked my 18MZ and seams to have the same dilemma as the 14MZ, can anyone help?

I just played around with several different V-tail set ups. Glider, airplane, 2-AIL/2-flap, 2-ail/1 flap, etc. Changed trim to T3 and everything works fine. I tried an 18SZ, 16SZ and 18MZ. All worked correctly.

Bill,
Just tried a new plane setup also a v-tail on my 18MZ and everything worked out as it should, so the 14MZ was sent in today and we will see when it gets back?

I don't have my 14MZ any longer. But I copied my 14MZ planes to the 18MZ directly so I think it works the same.
One thing I should have suggested is to set up a fresh model on the 14 in case something got twisted in it.
Let me know what happens.
