I've just bought a newish hobbyking 7 channel controller. It is a digital one with the LCD screen so you don't have to hook it up to the computer or anything. I've got everything working fine on it and its operating great, except for one thing. I set it up to AP mode which is aeroplane. one servo for the ailerons works great, the other one is dead and stays in one position or doesn't move at all. If i switch the gear switch this aileron moves and I can't figure out why or get it to work with the aileron channel. Can anyone out there help me out? Thanks www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__10186__HK_7X_2_4Ghz_7ch_w_5_Model_Memory_TX_RX_V2_Mode_2_.html

You might have a [mix] setting on that servo channel, or the servo plugged into the wrong spot on the RX. Make sure the [model memory slot] you are working in has been reset/cleaned. There might be some test setting left over from the factory. You also might have to turn something you don't understand on that is not on now. Just because you have a servo in an RX slot doesn't necessarily mean it will act like a 'regular' servo if the TX is set/not set for some other function. That's the joy and pain of computer TX settings.
Certainly make sure that servo is working OK by swapping them and see if the problem follows the servo or stays the same.
You are going to have to read the manual, no matter how #$#@$# bad it likely is, and I can assure you MOST TX manuals are pretty poor.
As an early adopter of a new Chinese TX you are mostly on your own. Not sure I'd go there. That's right up there with flying blind.

Thanks for replying, after a lot of playing around with it i decided just to plug both ervos into a Y harness which fixed the problem, like you said it's probably the mixes or something along those lines. Thanks
