I've run into a puzzling issue that I can't seem to resolve...

I have the typical 2 channel aileron setup... Wing Type set to "Flaperon", right ailerons plugged into channel 2 and left ailerons plugged into Aux1... I have Travel set to +/- 145 on both channels... On the right ailerons, I am get 60 degrees of travel... On the left ailerons, I am only getting 40 degrees of travel...

All servos are Hitec 5955TG's and the centerpoints & travel were set with a programmer...

Thinking that something may be amiss with the internal Flaperon mix, I set wing type to "Normal"... Then setup a programmable mix from AIL to AUX[1-4], matching travel... Same result... Only getting around 40% of travel on the left ailerons...

Anyone run into this or know of the fix???

When you choose flaperon you should be able to set the travel volume independently on each channel
That's the purpose of flaperon so you can set more up than down travel to compensate for yaw in a rolling maneuver

That's aileron differential you're referring to, which is set independently from travel...

Hope Danny doesn't go ballistic on this one..... but... what I would do is select a "fresh" model memory. Setup just the flaperon function, normal 100 +/- on the channel ATV's and see what you get. It sounds like you have a switch enabled or some mix somewhere that is messing with your current setup. Something in your current setup is creating the mess.

I'm sorry I thought that was what I said

Thanks for the reply...

I've already setup a new model in memory and started from scratch on the programming... Same result...

All switches are set to INH in the model setup...

The issue is that I am getting +/- 145 travel on the right aileron, but no matter what the setup is in the radio, I'm only getting +/- 100 on the left ailerons... To get the travel to match, I have to set the right aileron travel to +87 & -73... Mechanically both sides are identical...

Also, this is off topic, but but has anyone else noticed a radical change in your throttle trims when you setup a programmable mix??? This has happened more than once... I'll setup an airplane with no mixes... Then as I tune the airframe, I'll add a rud-ail or rd-elev mix... As soon as I enable the mix, my throttle trims are way, way off...

Yep.
Offered the best answer I know.
Have NO clue about the throttle trim change thing; have never seen it.
So..... no need to clutter the thread.

Simply passing through-----I don't see where you've inhibited the Flap switch and the Flap Trim----Did you?

Nevermind. You said you did.

What is happening on the servo monitor? Are they moving the same there? If so, it is something in the model/servos. If not, it is in the programming. Make sure you have centered the servos properly (either inhibit the flap in device select or make sure you are in the true center position on the servo monitor before centering the servos.)
