I have been flying it a little and started to set it up for 3d when I ran into a problem. My radio is a futaba 8uaps. I have the elevators on channel 7 and 8 mixed to channel 2. I did this because when only one was on 7 and the other was on 2 the 7 half was faster than the 2 half. So now they are on 7 & 8 and I can not get them to match up perfectly. They are very very close just not perfect. They other issue that complicates is that the control arm of one servo points up and the other down. I assume it is just the geometry of the situation.

I will be flying it this weekend and I feel that there will not be any huge issues, but I just wondered how every body else does it.

Thanks
Scott

Hey Scott, answered ya in your other post as well. I dont know much about the 8U's hopingsomeone that has one will jump in here. One thing to try is to completly clear the memory of that model and start all over with the set up. I know it sucks to do that but it should make sure that there isn't any "old" mix's or anything like that going on. Do the 8u's have a servo delay function?

If the two servos you are using for the elevators have different speeds or reaction time you can not fix this with the programming. I've seen this even with same model servos. However you can set each servo subtrim and endpoints independently as long as they are on separate channels. This is the way all giant scale pilots do it. You can use whatever channel you have but 8 is common and some txs have a preprogrammed ailevator program which mixes 8 to 2 automatically. Don't use the aileron mixing on this feature as that is really for jet use. set the subtrims and endpoints of each channel independently and you should be good to go.

You can also ask the support people on the futaba WEBSITE.. THEY CAN BE VERY HELPFUL

Thanks Mike I was hoping I would hear from you.

You sent me a while back some info for the graphics for this plane. Would you please send it to me again. Now that I have flown if I am ready to add to it.

That is one fun plane to fly!

We get our graphics cut from either RC Hobby Center (talk to John Nagle) or Blane Miller at Time to Climb Graphics. Both are on the web.
