This plane has a larger retangular wing aft with large Elvons.
Up front the retangular canard has large movable surfaces.

All four movable sUrfaces have a servo.
My major problem is to make all the pigtail connections to receiver - servos and the mixers and or reversers???? so that:

When I give UP, the aft elvons go up and both canards go down.

With a roll signal or say right stick the right aft elvon goes up and the right canard goes UP. Got it. ??? Both the Forward canard and the aft elvons contribute to roll input.

I have fumbled arounD for two nights and have failed to hook these properly. I KNOW it can be done. RCPowers (Dave) has videos showing this srt up.

PLEASE, IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS HOOK UP I WILL SEND YOU A BIRTHDAY CAKE. thanks

Sounds like you want to Y-lead the left aileron to the right canard, and vice versa (presuming all the servos are the same and the linkages aren't reversed).

YOU ARE THE MAN!! Oh Thank you so very much. I searched Dave Powers video for almost two hours.
I e-mailed him and he said those videos were dropped.

But you have renewed my faith in persenstance - You are

A MAGICAL MAN. Not maybe I can get this birf flying.

I am using all the same servos, FS-56 Hitec. I have the "Y's" and I have two mixers also. I will do a breadbord tonight to check out my work. THANKS !
