Cortex Gyro on elevon only model
I asked a while back if it was possible to install a cortex on a model like this IE a Tams F16. I was told yes it could be done. My question now is how?
obviously each elevon goes into a channel, rudder, then nose steering just because I will have the extra channel. What is different when it comes to setting up or will the cortex just automatically know pitch and roll some how during the initial set up???

Nothing different with elevons vs. traditional tail. Just plug in servos and follow the setup sequence. Read the manual first to lear the directions because sequence is really fast and you don't have time to hesitate then.
I have it on my Sky-E-Master F-15. It has pair of elevons, pair of rudders and nose gear trough Cortex. Then by tilting the plane check that everything is turning in right direction. Heading hold is not usable in jets IMHO.

During the learning process the gyro finds out what inputs control aileron and elevator and rudder. So if you move the elevator and the inputs are on A and B the gyro knows that to correct pitch it needs to move servos A and B, and when you move Aileron if the same servos move it knows to use them for the aileron axis.
Instead of getting wrapped up in the how and why, just plug everything in and do the learning sequence. Then move the plane around and see what servos move
If there's a problem, come back and let us know and we can troubleshoot further.

Any news on this? Did you make it yet? Test-flown the bird?
