Hi Dave,

You would need to go into the REV and change the servos direction there as there are no rates in Flaperon to change.

I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.

Sincerely,
Krysta

i also had this problem a few minutes ago programming my Fun Air 40 with the EXA, i learned that the control horns on the servo's must be facing the same way on both ailerons, like both to the left, or both to the right, and then just tinker till you get it right,

also remember that the LEFT aileron gets plugged in channel 1 and the RIGHT goes into channel 6

Are you sure mudsurfer? The manual says the RIGHT wing goes into channel 1 and the LEFT wing goes to channel 6. but if you are right, that might take care of my problem. I also tried setting mine up last night and experienced problems.

I had to turn the dial to the middle for flaps to be neutral. If I turn it clockwise, they go up. If I turn it counter clockwise they go down. I thought all the way one way would set the flaps to neutral. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks Krysta,

I just went to the website and read the manual. If I read it correctly, it still says the RIGHT wing goes to channel 1 and the LEFT wing goes to channel 6. Please let me know which is correct.

Thanks,
Allen
