Started to complete the Me163 but the turnigy serov's suggested by my brother were too large to fit into the capsules i have for it so will need to select something more suitable. Can't do anything until i get the servo's into the wings and wings fixed the o fuselage.

SO, I had the Freewing SU34 sitting there for Xmas-ish build so, i started.

Very little to do, except the usual wings elevators rudders etc. The most time was spent on programming my DX-8. There's plenty of info in the DX-7 but the menu's & sub menu's are different and this is also my first time at doing anything with mixes.

So for anyone with DX-8 that's thinking about a SU-34 here are the settings you need.
Firstly, i haven't used any Y leads and am using all 8 channels.

Below i have used and AR8000 receiver with satelite rx.

Receiver-Connect Vector 1 to AUX1 Vector 2 to AUX2 Vector 3 to AUX3. All channels are now used.

Select aeroplane and normal wing with 1 servo for both ailerons. Tail normal.

1. SERVO SETUP- leave this until later.
2. D/R - Expo- Set this up for however you like. Mine is set at 30% for aileron and elevator and 0 for rudder. Re-attack this after first flight/s
3. Differential, leave on INHIBIT
4. Throttle cut, Throttle curve and Flap system- don't change.
5. Mixing- here we go.
Mine is set so i can turn the thrust vectoring all on or off with one switch change, in this case Mix1. You can change this if you like.
I've created 5 mixes, 2 each for aileron & elevator- rudder vectoring is on constantly.
Move roller to AIL>RUD- press to accept. Scroll right 1 and MIX 1 should be flashing. Press to accept. move to INH>INH.
Change to ELE>AX1

Finally I needed to have my FLAP & AUX2 switch set to middle positions for the above to work. Not sure why as i've inhibited them in servo sertup. BUT its something to remember. Maybe you might know a fix for this?
That's it. You may need to go back to SERVO SETUP and reverse servo's A/R my elevator and rudder/NWS needed it.

That has taken me friggin hours of research reading and trial and error. I must however thank jmpdgs from RC groups as he gave me the idea on what i needed to do from his radio settings which was a JR9303.


I hope that helps. If you figured it out yourself- hats off. I could find nothing on the web for the DX-8
