ive completed my aileron mod and was centering and the ailerons and making sure that they have the same amount of throw in each direction when i found that both move in a 2:1 ratio to each other. after some sleuthing around it has something to do with the flap system
my ailerons are programmed as flaperons as i used the 2 servo method. for some reason they move or are programmed in a 2:1 ratio to each other. is this normal? when i move the servos out of flaperon mode they move the normal 45 degrees in each direction. im really confused as to what is causing this. i would think that your ailerons would have to move in equal opposite directions to each other to make the plane fly right.
i even moved the two elevator and rudder servos (which always center perfectly and rotate in a 1:1 ratio at 45 degrees) into my flaperon program and the total travel gets cut 50%, but yet staying in that 2:1 ratio at 16% and 32% within the reduced throw. this whole thing doesnt make any sense. is there a way to set up the 2 aileron servos without using the flaperon option? would a y-harness work as i know they have to move opposite each other?
