9C dual elevator servo programming???
 
I can't figure out how to program my 9C to have a second elevator servo slaved to the normal servo. Can anyone give some pointers on how to set this up?

Go to the ailevator function in the advanced menu and enable it.
THis will slave 2 and 8 together.
Make changes to the mixes to fit your needs

Just an added note, be sure to set the two aileron travel settings to zero in the ailevator function window if you want the elevators to work only as elevators. Otherwise the elevators will function as ailerons when the aileron stick is moved.

I got it working great, thanks for the help.

Just a quick question, why would you setup your elevators to funtion as ailerons when the aileron stick is moved? Is that like a super snap roll?

There would be many uses for the elevator acting like ailerons, the one that I know if is to give or control surface area for roll control.

I think that function's mostly for the jet guys...

Delta wing plane.

Delta wing plane.
No, that would be elevons. Used on a plane with no tail. Elevons allow the ailerons to act as elevators. Ailevators allow the elevators to act as ailerons.

OK, then what is the difference? Three = 3 or 3 = Three..........;)

Read the descriptions again. On a flying wing (delta wing) there isn't a tail, right? Therefore you need elevons to fly the plane. Elevons allow the ailerons to function as elevators when the elevator stick is moved. When Ailevators are set up on a plane with a tail and dual elevator servos, the elevators will function as ailerons in addition to the wing ailerons when the aileron stick is moved. Big difference. Ailevators are used mostly on jets with a tail for better roll control.

I have and I do the functions. I have a Delta set up as elevons and another plane with no ailerons, but setup as ailevators. Both have two servos attached to the ailerons/elevators and both function exactly the same!

In this case ailevators = elevons. If you want to call the control surfaces on a deltas ailevators and tail control surfaces elevons, it's OK by me!

Technically speaking, a plane has to have ailerons and elevators to be set up with the Ailevator option. Elevons are typically what is used when the plane (whatever configuration that might be) has either ailerons or elevators (which ever you chose to call them) but not both. In correspondence to the original post of this thread the correct term would be Ailevators.
