Hello everyone, first time RC guy and poster here.
I just got into RC planes a few weeks ago. I was able to make a FT Arrow (and crash it horribly) and have decided to give it a second try with a FT Sparrow. I've built the plane and am at the connecting electronics stage. I've watched and rewatched Josh connect the servos on the build video and my plane will not respond accordingly.
I am using a Orange Tx and an Orange Rx. In the video, Josh mentions using both Dual Aileron and V-tail mixing. I have both turned on and can only control one "taileron" at a time; only the "taileron" connected to the Aileron port moves. I have the servos for the "tailerons" connected to the Aileron and Elevator ports. With both V-tail and Dual Aileron activated, I can see (on the monitor screen) that I get power to the Aileron and Auxiliary port. I've tried plugging one servo to Aileron and the other to Aux, this results in being able to make the "tailerons" give my plane horizontal movement, but I have no vertical movement.
I did try activating "elevon" mixing that doesn't seem right in my mind; I know you use Elevon mixing for Delta Wings and this is not a Delta Wing.
I'm not sure what else to do!
