Zflyer Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Anybody know if a 4 channel rx can be used to control elevons. (Spektrum gear). Im assuming a channel reassignment is the answer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel R Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Yes, the default elevon setup uses aileron and elevator channel, I believe, just tell the TX you want elevon wing type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zflyer Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Strange thing. I have used the elevon type in the wing set up. The elevons work, however they do not work in the correct stick movement. Up and down gives left and right, whilst aileron stick gives up down. I have tried swopping servoe leads around, too no avil and I can not reassign the main control surface channels. It works fine on one of my other models but not this one. The other is a six channel rx this is a 4, but there should be no difference. Suggestions anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Z Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 If up > left and down > right: reverse you right servo output. Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilco Wingco Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 All the models I have set up on my DX7 with elevons have been with 6 channel receivers. Channels 2 and 6 for left and right aileron. Set the 3 way switch to "manage" the direction and amount on movement with elevator offset to smooth out ballooning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have come across that problem with some of the cheaper radios ( ? ) I have always got over it by swapping the two servo leads over, or even programming them on a V -tail set up,,, 'or' you could use two servos that don't turn the same way or a servo reverser on one of the servos,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Before we had computer radios, if the mixed controls were wrong, this list of variations would fix it. Working down the list in turn & testing after each step until its right: 1. Clear all reverse settings & try the controls. 2. Reverse the first servo 3. Clear reversing on the first and reverse the second servo 4. Reverse both servos 5. Swap the two servo plugs in the receiver and go through the list again. One option will definitely be right!
