Default Futaba 9c prorammable mixes question

Hopefully someone can refer me to a how to on the Futaba 9c programming of mixes. I have a "fully loaded" QQ Yak 54 with DA100. I am using Ailevator with elev servos on ch 2 and 8 and Flaperon mixing. I am using the curve mixes 6 & 7. Curve 7 is Throttle to elevator and it works perfectly deflecting both elevator halves (ch2/8) down slightly at low throttle for downlines. But curve 6 is my rudder to elevator mix and it only deflects the primary (ch2) elevator servo, it does not move the slaved (ch8) elev servo.... Buth my Futaba 9c users guide and instruction manual say it should operate both halves. I'm lath to use another mix here as a band aid. Thanks, Eric

Is there a chance that it's inhibited? INH on the screen?

I use a T9CAP.. My set up on mixes are as listed below.

P-mix 1 = RUDDER > ELEV
Mix> ON
MAS> RUDD
SLV> ELEV
LINK> ON
TRIM> ON
SW>B "Does not matter"
POSI>NULL

P-mix 2 = RUDDER > AILE

P-mix 4 = RUDDER > AUX1

P-mix 5 = THRO > ELEV
Mix> ON
MAS> THRO
SLV> ELEV
LINK> ON
TRIM> OFF
SW> H "Does not matter"
POSI> NULL

I use mix 6 to set diff in elev. Use as point mix.

No on INH. Yes on LINK. Thanks Kent. I'll try your setup. Sounds like you do not use Ailevator but instead drive your slave elevator (mine is ch8) servo off ch2 with Pmix #6. What is the Aux1 servo you are driving in mix#4? I'll try your setup and PM you if I still have trouble. The crazy thing is I left Futaba (1024) many years ago for Multiplex and enjoyed the limitless programming capabilities for many years, I just told it what to do. Now I'm back with Futaba (for a while now) and here I am again trying to figure out their way to do it again! Why the Throttle channel drives both elevator servo's but the udder channel doesn't is pretty obscure... Eric

I use 9 Ch. Rec.

#1 Aile
#2 Elev
#3 Thr
#4 Rud
#5 Open (Gear)
#6 Aile (Flap)
#7 Rud (AUX1)
#8 Elev (AUX2)

Activate Ailvator and Flaperon and use above mixes as needed. Sorry for the confusion.
Kent

Well, allright, I simply switched my rudder to elevator mix from P6 to P1 and the rudder now drives both elevator halves. A simple solution to what almost seems like a software glitch. go figure. Thanks again. Eric

OK, this sounds similar but not getting the same results. How do I mix two servos for 2 elevator halfs on a Fut 9Cap?
