Issue with F22 elevon using FS-i6X transmitter

[EricC]

Hi,
Here are the parts I use:
- FT Mighty Mini F-22 Raptor WR (508mm)
- Tattu 850mAh 11.1V 75C 3S1P Lipo Battery Pack with XT30U plug
- FT Power Pack F Radial v2
It is not complete, but we are testing it with a FlySky FS-i6X transmitter.
The problem I have is that the right joystick behaves the opposite way.
Setup:
- Stick mode #2:
- Elevon On, so:
- Ch1 <= Ch2+Ch1
- Ch2 <= Ch2-Ch1
I think Ch1 and Ch2 should be reversed but I don't know how.
Thanks for your help.

Reverse channel 1 and see if it works right. If it doesn’t, reverse channel 2 instead. If it still doesn’t work, reverse both. One of the four combinations will work. I did this with my i6x and my Delta. Good luck!

- Ch1 <= Ch2+Ch1
- Ch2 <= Ch2-Ch1

PS, the way I read this is that pushing your right stick right is a positive input on channel 1 (normally pushing the left aileron down) and pushing it up is a positive input on channel 2 (normally pushing the elevator down). In elevon mode, each action independently would push the left elevon down, so if you go both down and right, it adds together the two inputs into a larger down input, hence Ch1 <= Ch2+Ch1. So “virtual channel 1” is the addition of the two inputs, while “virtual channel 2” is the opposite.

This isn’t actually useful, just interesting (to me).

...I think Ch1 and Ch2 should be reversed but I don't know how...

I agree with Foamforce, but you may need another step.
You may need to swap which servo is on channels 1 & 2, then go through the servo reversing again.
One of the 8 combinations will work.

Thank you very much to both of you, it works!

Glad to hear you figured it out, I was gonna suggest buying a V-Tail mixer. It's an obsolete approach, I know, but I like it for the simplicity!

go on youtube and find rc with adam . he is my go to for fs-i6x . he has vidios on how to do every thing with this radio. he has a vidio on setting up elevons which is what you need
