ROO
MP7.5 Yes you can use inner surfaces for elevator and outer for aileron.
I have single servo elevon set-up eg x1 servo per wing as this is an option also.... although as mentioned before with the larger KJ66 size turbines I would use X2 servos for control surfaces even if still retaining just elevon mix set-up.

control surfaces
Hi Ocan,if i use use inner surfaces for elevator and outer for aileron,what are control surface travels you recommend.Can they be the same travels as use in elevons set up? and also compare the two set up,are they any different in control response and fly characteristics? Thanks in advance...
Cheers.......
Cheers.......

ROO
MP7.5 Simple answer is max throw on elevator (my ROO has approx 3/4") and minimum throw setting on low rate aileron 1/4" deflection is safe. This is a good starting point as ailerons are very responsive and can catch you out on take off if you are not ready eg forget to switch to low rate.
You could always adjust sensitivity via expotential as an alternative.... I find you cannot have to much up elevator throw on a ROO.
Not sure as to differences between elevon vs aileron/elevator on the ROO as I have only used the elevon style set up. I would say that ailerons/elevator set up would be less sensitive. I would use similar settings though until you log some flight time and get confident...

MP7.5
I used both surfaces on each side as one. The main reason for the Roo2 having two separate control surfaces is to reduce the stress on single servo opting for lesser torque servos plus providing redunancy in case one servo fails.
I installed my Roo2 with two servos on the two surfaces (inboard and outboard) then match them up either mechanically or thru JR MatchBox (MultiBox) and operate them just as single surface like Roo 1.
The instruction manual will recommend you for this configuration and control movements are specified in the manual.

Thank you!
Hi guys,
I've already test flight the roo2+mw54 combo
. Great performance as mentioned before by your guys. Just want to say thank you to all your guys for the useful inputs.....Cheers
