Skywalker Aileron and radio

Posted by Zach Bayne on April 21, 2011 at 4:36pm

So I am midway though building my first airplane and running into a few problems.

1. What is the best way to hook up/mount the Aileron servos? Is a y cable going to work for a ardupilot mega and if so what the best way to fashion one of these.

2. I have a eurglev3 (9x type mode 2) radio and i can not for the life of me figue out Aileron, the other surfaces wok fine, i have no mixing set up, I thought the mega had to use one channel for Ailerons. Andway when i move the right stick left and ight nothing happens i have to move it up and then left and right to get movement from channel 1. What do i need to do?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I plan on reflashing the radio wiht th9x when the pogo board is in stock but i would like to get this figured out.

Thanks!

I can attach photos and or vid if needed

    I'm stuck at the same point and surprised that all the build logs I found were full of detail but then jump right over how to hook up the servos. I'm guessing they are set up using a Y cable but would like to see some pictures of the wiring.
