Elevator Problem..
 
I just finished cloning my E-Flight Funtana 300, Made it out of BluCor. Anyways, My Elevator was working fine with up and down input on the stick. I went to taxi it around and now it doesn't work. I can trim it, reverse it, Mix it.. but no input at the controls. I unplug it and it actuates.. I plug in a different servo I have spare and it does the same thing. The Elevator is connected to the #1 chanel, Correct?

The RX is this one but, in 72mhz

the radio is a Airtronics RD 6000 Super..

The elevator was working fine until I plugged in the second aileron to the 5th channel.


Thanks for the help

Sanwa TX = Plug Servo in #ch For: Elevator#1, Aileron #2, Throttle #3, Rudder #4, Gear #5, Flap or 2nd Aileron Servo #6, Battery #B or any spare ch.
Sanwa TXoperates ch5 as the gear channel, accordinglysuspect a mixing conflict. Try using a Y harness for the ailerons using ch2 only and if all AOK, reset that model memory (or try on spare model memory) with flapperon mixing using channel 2&amp;6 as per manual.
E.P.A - A.T.V - Dual Rates differences, cautions may also assist.

Ok, after doing what ministeve2003 over at Wattflyer suggested of resetting my TX, it worked.

I had to fiddle with the channels caused they were off. So, I set my right aileron to #2 channel and the left Aileron to # 6th Channel. Set my radio to Flaperons and while disconnected from the control surfaces..centered them and 30 minutes of fine tuning.. Walla.. Every thing is a go.

Set up 2 Ailerons, Elevator and Rudder, all centered and fine tuned.

Thanks Steve and CHELLIE, ministeve2003 and A.T
