I was going to try some cheap RC gyros in a flying wing but in order to get dedicated pitch and roll channels for them I had to use a v-tail/elevon hardware mixer rather than TX mixing. The problem is that with both gyros connected between the receiver and the mixer I lose one direction of aileron travel and one direction of elevator travel.

With just one gyro connected on either pitch or roll everything is fine but as soon as I connect two gyros I lose movement in one direction.
:confused:
I'm assuming this might be some sort of pulse timing issue, but would appreciate any advice.....

I'm just playing with some very cheap kit as an experiment, a couple of these gyros and a cheap GWS v-tail mixer.
