Default Programming help

I have a Futaba 6XAS, and need some help programming it. What I am after is a way to program my 4 control surface servos, 1 for each aileron and 1 for each stabilator half, so that when I give left aileron, the left stabilator goes up, and right one goes down, just like the ailerons; but when I give up, or down, input, the stabilators move in the appropriate direction in unison. I know someone in this forum has done this before, and probably answered this very question. I just am too inept to find it.

Waiting for your input.

Try the Futaba forum. AMC or one of the gurus there should be able to help_bob

I believe you will find this is asking too much of the 6X.

This is the "ailevator" function that is found on the 9C

The 6xas will not allow you to do that (you would need 4 channels just for that). You can seperate the ailerons and possibly use a v-tail mixer (Wattage has these). If you were to go to an 8U,9C, or 9Z it could probably be done through the radio. I have not played with my 9C in that manner yet, I do have the elevator haves on seperate channels though as well as the ailerons.

I wanted an excuse to move up, anyway! Thanks for the input. I was really afraid that would be the answer, but needed confirmation.
