Tim Kearsley Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi all,Justy joined this site and very new to R/C fixed-wing flying (been flying helis for a while).I've just built a Multiplex MiniMag and taken the option to add aileron servos. Firstly, am I right in thinking that in the radio (a Spektrum DX7) I have to set the wing type as "Flaperon"?I did this and, sure enough, the aileron servos both move as expected, except that I notice that both servos only move a small amount in one direction but the full amount in the other. It's as if half the Tx stick travel has no effect.Is this "normal" for this scenario?Sorry if this is a really daft question but I really am a novice in fixed-wing!Many thanks,Tim.

Colin Hostler Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yes Tim this is normal because the sero`s are doing two jobs thus they have to be limited.Colin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Darnley Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Ah, this is an easy fix.On Futaba(only radio I've worked with) all that needed to be done was increase the % of the mix to 100%, that way you get full up and full down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Murray Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi Tim, When you program the DX7 for Flaperons, make sure that the Flap switch is in the Centre off position.If it is not, the result will be more movement in one direction than the other. Hope this is of some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
