Wiring help! Flysky FS-iA6B receiver with FS-i6X radio. Mini arrow

[TBA7058]

Another day building and another issue! Can I pop a note at the start to say I have never done wiring before, neither has my son, so please do let us know in very basic language on what we need to do!

We have put our motor into the power pod, screwed on, connected to the ESC and receiver, along with the servo's. We have used CH3 for the ESC, and CH2 for left servo, CH1 for right servo. We have turned on the transmitter, we get the right sounds we think, a little movement in the pushrods from the servos.

However, my son moved the elevator right hand stick up and down, only the left pushrod moves moving the left aileron. if we move that right stick left and right then the right side aileron moves but the left side does nothing. we had switched previously and the opposite happens. What do we need to do to make both servos kick in so that when he pushes the right stick forward and back both ailerons/elevators move? and then when he pushes that same stick right or left how do we get one of each to move in opposite directions to turn the plane?

I apologise now if I am using the wrong terminology for all things!

I have popped a photo of the receiver and wiring. My thoughts are is this a transmitter thing but maybe we've got more wrong than that!

last thing - should I take out this pushrod and re-do? the servo horn is a little bendy, again no idea if I can just take out the rod or if we have to try and get out the whole servo (glued in). View attachment tempImageXUsqKu.jpg

very best and thank you

You need to use the elevon settings in your radio.

Regarding that bent control arm, you should straighten it and if it’s still stiff you should be fine. If it’s too weak, then replace just the control arm. Unscrew it, pop of the arm, and pop on a new one. You can use the double sided one that came with the servo, just snip off the other side and make sure you use a hole that is the same distance from the center as your other servo.

Yup, nice find!

Thank you so much, I think the way I did the wire/pushrod seems to bend the control arm, so shall I replace the pushrod? Servo and horn on the other side are glued in

Another option would be to have a pushrod guide, just loop a couple zip ties around the rod and glue them into the wing.

It should prevent the control rod from bending.

You mean that twist in the pushrod? Usually you can grab both ends of the pushrod with pliers and twist the ends straight. It can be a little difficult to get a grip on the side that is in the control arm, but I’ve usually been able to manage it.

If you need to take the push rod out of the control arm on the elevon, you can melt the hot glue by heating up a putty knife or any other thin blade and sliding it in between the control arm and the foam. You could even apply a heat gun directly to the area around the control arm, but you have to do low heat and work slowly, otherwise the heat will warp the elevon.

Oh that’s what he meant, sorry I should’ve read it a bit more thoroughly. 😂
