Solved FS-i6 V-Tail mixing

[Lang W]

I'm trying to set up a Durafly Bonanza with my TGY-i6 (identical to the FS-i6, so I'll just call it that) so I turned on the v-tail mixing, but it's backwards, up and down movement controls the rudder and left and right controls the elevators. There is no option to reverse this and I'm flying mode-1 so I can't just change to mode-4. Do I have to do custom mixing or is there another option?

If the servos are accessible. Take off the control horns and rotate them 180 degrees

Or try reversing the elevator and rudder.
The v Tail mixes the rudder and elevator together, so if you reverse the elevator and rudder, you should be sorted

I've already tried, the problem is with how it's being mixed I think, reversing the signal doesn't help.

Try doing a mechanical reverse on the servos

I think that the problem is with the way the mixing is done, not the servos. Here is a video of the problem.

So your problem is that the rudder movement is controlling the elevator, and the elevator movement is controlling rudder??

 

[Lang W]

Yes

 

[Matthewdupreez]

,...... Try switching the elevator and rudder cables in the receiver around 😏

 

[Matthewdupreez]

So take the one in the elevator port, plug it Into the rudder port, and vice versa

 

[Lang W]

Already tried

 

[Matthewdupreez]

A way to fix this, is to open the Rx, and swop the cables from that joystick around......

Nevermind, I did custom mixing and got it working, I just don't know if it's the best solution. The video that showed me how:

No problem man 👍... Maybe someone on here knows a bit more than me about this tx ...
They might know the correct way to do this..

 

[Lang W]

Just found out that, mixing is done after signals are reversed, which means that default v-tail mixing with 1 reversed signal works.

Clearly everything is working but the elevator and rudder functions are responding to the wrong stick input.
There are quite as few combinations possible (8) with both servo reversing and which servo is connected to which rx port. You may have to try them all logically in sequence to find which works correctly.
I would be surprised if the mixing was 'odd' in the tx.
