Unhappy Aileron and Elevator problem on Fut T6EX


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Trying to get ready a newly converted glider into powered electric rc model for it's maiden flight but something weird is going on with Aileron and Elevator controls. When pulled stick for up elevator, servos travel is less but ailerons servos move also at full travel!. Then when aileron input is given, elevator servo also moves as if both are mixed together.

Upon checking the Pmix 1 and 2, both are off, Flaps r off but El/N is at 50%....

Now i turned off the system completely couple times hoping this would clear up the problem but it's still doing it.

Anyone knows what is going on here, i have checked all external switches but nothing is eliminating this issue or operating ailerons separate from elevators...

If this problem can be solved tonite, then tomorrow will do maiden of this converted foamy glider into rc pusher model...

ELVN Elevon mixing (ACRO only)
CH1 CH2
*If necessary, use the Servo Reversing
function to achieve the correct direction of
servo throws.
Intended for tailless, “flying wing” models such as delta wings and flying wings,
elevon mixing mixes channel 1 (aileron) to channel 2 (elevator) allowing the
elevons to operate in unison (as elevators) or in opposition (as ailerons). This
function requires that each elevon be operated by a separate servo.
To activate elevon mixing:
1. Connect the servo in the right wing to channel 2 (elevator) in the receiver and
connect the servo in the left wing to channel 1 (aileron) in the receiver.
2. Enter the programming mode. Access the “ELVN” screen with the MODE key.
You cannot set “Elevon” mixing when “Flaperon” or “V-TL” mixing has already been set. In
order to enable “Elevon” mixing, you first need to cancel both “Flaperon” and “V-tail” mixing.23
3. Push the DATA INPUT lever upward for 0.5 seconds. This will cause the flashing “INH”
display to change to a flashing “ON” display. Now the mixing is on.
4. Next you set the left wing to channel 1 (aileron) setting. Press the SELECT key to display
the “CH1” and flashing “%” sign. Use the DATA INPUT lever to set the percentage of elevator
travel rate from -100% to +100%
5. Next you set the right wing to channel 2 (elevator) setting. Press the SELECT key to display
the “CH2” and flashing “%” sign. Use the DATA INPUT lever to set the percentage of rudder
travel rate from -100% to +100%
6. Once this mix has been activated, move the servos to their full extremes to make certain
they are not overdriving the controls. If necessary, adjust the linkages to achieve the correct
control throws.

Thanks Todd,

I went into the menu and turned off the ELVN off, this solved the problem.....

If the weather is good tomorrow, i will do the maiden otherwise it will wait till it's nice clear and low breeze out side.

Re: Aileron and Elevator problem on Fut T6EX

If I remember correctly the first step in all Futaba manuals is to clear the settings before programming.
