Default 14MZ Setting up for Elevons?

Just received my 14MZ so I am just learning how to use it. For my first model I set up a funfly model. After scanning the manual, it took me all of 10 minutes to get the basics set up. I am very impressed with how easy it was to set up. This is one cool radio.

Now I am setting up an aircraft with elevons. Everything worked fine right off except the elevons move the wrong direction. The aileron move the correct direction. Rudder and throttle work fine as well.

I beleive I have carefully followed the set ups. This ship uses elevons with a single rudder. I selected the correct configuration in Model Setup. The servos are plugged into the channels as indicated in the manual.

On page 40 of the manual it says that when tailess wing models are selected they use elevator-camber mixing and that this funtion function cannot be performed at initial setting.

I have done some fiddiling around in the ELE to Camber screens but no luck.

If you could tell me how to reverse the elevator direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

John B.

You can reverse the way the elevator function works by going into the AFR (dual rate) menu and reversing the slope of the elevator curve. Just select one endpoint and move it from 100 to -100. Do the same to the other endpoint. You've now reversed the elevator movement. Your aileron movement will remain the same.

Bill,

I think I was trying too hard. That was easy to fix.

Thanks,

John B.
