I have a 2s 120mah 20c into a 5v ubec then onto the FS I-6 Reciever I successfully connected a servo to channel 1 with the first mix being 5 slaved and another servo to 5. I had servo function then I added mix two with potentiometer 1 with channel 1 slaved to that I adjusted the potentiometer and only one servo moved I started to adjust positive and negative to find control for both servos from the potentiometer and the servos started sizzling, trembling and going all over the place. I removed the potentiometer from the mix. After that I found that there was no servo response at all. Re binded the Rx and nothing still. Thought battery was dead and plugged it into the charger. Error response from charger. Looked at battery and noticed it had ballooned a little. Plugged in another battery and Rx and servos are ok. That program you instructed on using the potentiometer for flaperon mixing fried one of my batteries!

Hi Andrew. I must say that your channel is great, informative and helpfull. I have started to fly RC planes in about half a year ago and learnd a lot from your channel. I have just finished to build Photon from from ExperimentalAirlines by Ed, and as I have FlySky i6 I really like your tutorial how to set Flaperons, which I want to use. Here comes the problem. I have two separate servos plugged in to channel 1 and channel 6 is right aileron. I have settup the radio the same way as you describe. It works... "but" my ailerons are reversed. You mentioned in the video that we should change positive and negative mix to either 100% or -100%. Ailerons are wokring in the separate direction as they should when I set 100%, but reversed. If I choose -100 on positive mix both are up and for my understanding negative mix left aileron should go down, but id does not. If I have both mixes on mix#1 on -100 both ailerons go up. But if I have 100% it works but reversed. Can you please help me to figure out the problem? My goal is to use separate leads for servos, and have flaperons for soaring. I would really appriciate any help and any advice. Thank you in advance. :)

Hi Martin. Photon was my first plane too. I would start from the beginning with your mixing. Just plug in the L aileron to Ch1 and get it working in the correct direction. Select Reverse for Ch1 if it's working in the wrong direction. Then my instructions should work for you. Good luck.

Hmmmmhhhh.....I don´t understand how it works...... And where do You connect the servos ??? This vid is just what I looked for ! I`m just assembling a new Multiplex indoor funnycub, and it needs just those flaperons. Thank You very much !

Pretty easy to understand the case when you mix a channel into itself. The radio executes commands in sequence, like a flowchart. 1. take the value of CH2 2. modify it by the amount given in the mix 3. write it back to CH2 4. output the final value to CH2's port, or display it, or whatever 5. goto 1. For example if you set a mix of -100%, than whenever you move the stick, it will always subtract the same amount from it, so it will remain at 0. p.s. However I've noticed, that if you add another mix, and make for ex. CH1 follow exactly CH2, (a mix of 100%) it will not do so! (will not stay at 0) Actually it will follow CH2's stick movement.

Great video Andrew, I have the i6x, and have found a really annoying flaw (Flysky software designers whoopsie moment) in that switch assignments are global for all models, there is no way to configure switches to different assignments on different models...!

Anyway, flaperons are great, much better than cutting flaps into unequipped wings.

Hey Andrew, I've tried your method on my FlySky i6-X and only seem to get the vario able to make one aileron go up and the other down. I copied everything exactly and this has me stumped! If I knew what the pos and neg mix did and how the master and slave interacted, I might be able to figure it out :( As it stands, I'm sort of lost.

If the ailerons are working correctly and on separate channels, all you have to do is change the flaperon mix weight values from - to + for the offending flaperon (or + to -)

@@AndrewNewton thanks! The more I played around with the settings while sitting on the lounge with my superEZ on the coffee table, the better I understood how the programming works.. the first time round I was using a y lead and of course, it didn't work lol. I separated the servos on channel 1 and 5 and now I'm set. Ive got some mild camber, but because this plane is already so light and floaty, I feel it was a bit pointless. GREAT learning experience, tho. As a side note, what are the rules for us hobbyists popping out to a wide open field during the Coronapocalypse? No go? Or go but be careful? Take care, Andrew and I look forward to the next video. Thanks so much for your fast reply, too.

Hi M. Newton, I have a nano talon and installed skies on it, I can controlled it nicely with a ski at the back plug on my channel 6, my problem is it is difficult to lift, I was wondering if I can assign my switch D to control the flaperons, but I’m using kopilot so is it possible to program it thank you and have a nice day

Hello AndrewI am having some problems with turnigy 9xr I bought 3 of them 3 years ago from hobbyking. 2 of them still in their boxes. Recently I noticed that the limits tends to drift ( if that's the word ) so instead of being 0.0 the Alieron Elevator and Rudder seem to self adjust sometimes -34.6 for Alieron 5.6 for elevator -1.2 for rudder. Sorry I hope I have not confused you. What do you think could be at fault? could it be I may have to replace my gimbals. Anyway I opened the other Turnigy 9xr and checked it to find that the throttle when all the way down is not down because timer is counting down and when I apply down pressure on the throttle stick it stops the timer. So out of 3 turnigy 9xr radios I only have one that works.

Why they would drift I don't know but you could recalibrate the radio (If you're using OpenTX) Page 9 in Radio setup

Yes even after I recalibrate it does the same thing. I am using frsky DJT telemetry in my radio and frsky D8R-11plus as receiver. I don't know if gimbals could cause it. Maybe I could send radio to you if ok? I am scared to go on using it just incase.

Keith, it's not a problem I have encountered before so I wouldn't know how to fix it. All I can suggest is updating the firmware and maybe replacing the gimbals if you can find them. Not much else you can do.

Dont know about quads

Dual rates and expo are affecting channel 1. With ailerons on separate channels and mixing, channel 6 is mirroring channel 1. That way, all effects of dual rates and expo on channel 1 (1st aileron servo) are being repeated on channel 6 (2nd aileron servo). So flaperons and dual rates should work together. Am I missing something here?

I don't understand....how do you manage to control both the servos down if your using a Y-connector on both of your servos? The signal would be the same on both servos because it only has one cable from the rx....unless you connected the servos on two separate channels...

Thanks andrew.... you have given me an idea of how to slow down my 2 planes in landing. Actually I was really thinking of it due to I was flying it in a not so large area and I have to descent maybe 20ft. then have to catch it on landing.... the DW eagles 1200 wingspan and the MG800. The eagle is ok but I want it more slower on descent but the MG800 is a little bit agile and descent from 20ft. for about 20 to 30meters away from you is still a little bit tricky to slowdown then able to catch it....

is there a dual aileron mode? or will i have to buy a y cable?

oh right gotcha , but say for an example you use separate channels for ailerons alone, and somehow program the mix; the pos mix and neg mix to something that wont require the servos to be mounted in a certain way to have ailerons? is that possible on this transmitter, cuz ik it is on the spektrums
