I am trying to setup my DX-7 for a elevon jet. The TX is set for a delta (elevon) system, up and down work fine but when I go right or left the servos go in the wrong direction. Reversing the servos in the TX just swaps the problem, up down is reversed but left and right are good.

Any ideas?? It works fine in my other two wings but they mount the servos on top, this one mounts them on the bottom which is causing the problem.

Thanks for any help,

Thomas

Probably not going to get much attention in Off Topics, moved to the right forum.

Don't have my DX7 in front of me, but there should be a screen to adjust the elevon mixing ratio. You should be able to reverse it by changing its sign from positive to negative or vice-versa. This is separate from the servo travel volume or servo reversing.

Hope that this helps.

That may be just what I am looking for, I will let you know after I get home tonight.

I ended up having to swap the leads in the RX. All is well now.
