Okay, so my friend Nick (The only one of my friends who flies, but lives eight hours away) got himself an EPP Bonsai from HobbyKing. He has 2 DX5e's but no programmable radios, as he gave me the 72MHz Tx I'm using now.
But he has an issue - the servos won't do full throws when using elevon mixing. Reading on the web about this, I found that Spektrum limits it's throws to prevent the radio from breaking the servos. So it limits throws to 50% so that the throw only goes to 100% when doing full aileron and full elevator.
He already adjusted his throws physically, as much as possible, but it's not helping much. I suggested he drill another hole closer to the control surface, or extend the servo arms.
Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you had any other ideas to solve this problem (without using a v-tail mixe as suggested in a youtube video)
Thanks,
