How to set up trims in Elevon mix setup?

Post by RcRyder »

Hi!

I have just recently built Mikey FPV V3 plane, that is a kind of delta biplane with rudder.

I was able to create elevon mix prety easily using this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvlCbs1NeC4

Movement is perfect, trims not :?

Here is my setup:
Inputs
Thr 100% Thr
Rud 50% Rud E30
Ail 100% Ail E30
Ele 100% Ele E30

Mixer
CH1 100% Thr
CH2 100% Rud
CH3 50% Ail (left wing)
50% Ele
CH4 50% Ail (right wing)
- 50% Ele

So when I use trims . Rugger works perfect, Aileron also works perfect, but elevator only results as movement of left wing, right remains unaffected.

So how can I set up the radio to have both elevons up or down at same rate when using elevator trim?

With kind regards,

Matjaž

Hello Matjaž,

maybe you have accidently set "Include Trim" to "No" in the 2nd mixer line of CH4 (- 50% Ele)?

I don't know much about OpenTX 'cause I'm using er9x/ersky9X, but:

Can you please post a eepe file of your model?

... and I'm shure the OpenTX experts would like to know which version of OpenTX you use ;) .

Hi!

After "triple checkin" - you were spot on. My mistake. :?

Thanks again,

Matjaž
