Default Unwanted differential DX6i

I have different throws on UP & Down ELEV ch. Subtrim set to 0. Expo 0.

I have this problem on 2 different planes, which leads me to believe it is in the TX not the servo. I haven't found a differential setup in the menu tho... can anyone help?

Thanks
V.

How much difference ?

Did you look at travel limits ?

If you have a two servo set up one on each elevator make the adjustment for them to match in the travel adjust function in your transmitter.

Are you sure that your mechanical linkage is correct? This could also cause Differential Throw.

Another thing to look for is the servo arm being as close to 90* as possible to the servo at neutral. If it's a little off, you can adjust it before you hook up your control linkages by using your subtrim.

Throws are set at 100%, just one servo for the elevator.

I can see the servo arm not moving enough in one direction, as if there was a differential dialed in.
I don't think there is a DIFFERENTIAL function on Dx6i, is there?
