Hi All,
This is my first post here; I'm very, very new to RC and following an airboat that I've built, after finding Flitetest on YouTube, I decided to build the Delta.
The build went ok thanks to all the videos and advice on here and I'm happy with it and the powerpod.
My problem is understanding the elevon mixing. Whilst watching vids for delta wing mixing advice, the elevons on other wings go above and below the main wing, whereas the FT Delta just has the elevon up, no movement down.
Although I've got my servo and transmitter/receiver doing the right things in terms of how it responds to the stick, my servos are still trying to push the elevons beyond the range of the FT Delta throws.
Can anyone offer advice on how I correct this, might it be that the servos are not centred in the right position or is it something more complicated.
I'm sorry if this a silly question but I really am a super-noob and have spent hours trying to figure it out.
I'm not risking my maiden RC plane flight (panicking already lol) until I understand what the elevons are supposed to be doing :-/
Hope someone can advise,
Neil
