I bought the FT Mighty arrow and finished building it and when i got it to bind to my Flitetest radiomaster pocket controller, i selected FT Wing but i cant seem to figure out how to set up the elevons. I've only set up normal controls for our Tiny trainer. What do i need to do to get elevons set up? Right now when i pull back it turns and when i push left or right the elevons go up or down like to gain or lose altitude. Are there any good videos on how to set up those controls? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Start by reversing one of the channels (elevator or aileron) on your transmitter. If that doesn't work right put that channel back how it was, then reverse the other channel. If that doesn't work right than swap the channels physically on the reciever and repeat the first steps till they move in the proper direction.
Do not change the throttle channel at all, and always work on a plane with the propeller removed.

I agree with rick with one exception, you should also try reversing both channels before swapping wires on the Rx.

The reason the mix fails, it matters which orintation you install your servos. There are 4 ways to orientate a servo, 2 of them are are reversed from the other. Once you get this correct ALWAYS install your servos the same way.

Here is a video
