O.K. Gang I'm confused:

I just finished a Four Star 120. Went to set up "Flaperons. I use a Futaba
6DA. Instructions says, Plug Right aileron into #1 the left into #6 then
switch on the #9 toggle in the back "its labeled Flaperon. Here's what
happens. Right stick the right aileron goes up the left does not move. Move
left stick the left aileron goes up the righ does not move. Move the flap
knob they both go down as expected. That can't be right HUH ???

any ideas ??

Sounds like the end point adjustment for Chs. 1 & 6 are not set properly...

Bill thaanks for the suggestion

Yeah it does: however I would think either aeilron would at least move a
little in the other direction:

But however the are both set to 100%

watcing the ATV screen.

Check the aileron differential also. It sounds like maybe the flaperon
function has dialed all the "down" out of the opposite aileron.

Well, that sure compensates for adverse yaw. ;)
