Just out of curiosity I just programmed it in my DX-18. Elevons, two rudders (separate steering) and a few mixes and I have the canards doing pitch and roll plus I programmed flaps with canard compensation and canard air brakes. Of course without the model my percentages are guesstimates. Needed 8ch's.

Hey guys, here is the Spektrum mixing on mine.
First, I have model setup for elevon in aircraft type:
then,
I have my left elevon in the ail port,
right elevon in the elevator port
right canard in aux 2
left canard in aux 3
It shouldn't truly matter which elevon is plugged into which AIL/ELE port or which canard is in which AUX port as the mixing will be similar as long as your 2 elevons are in the ail/ele ports and your 2 canards are in 2 aux ports. Once your there it's just playing within the mix as to going 100% or -100% and watching what happens.
So, you see my 4 mixes, 2 for ail, 2 for ele landed as such...
Again, I have the canards in aux2 and aux 3. I have mixed 1 elevon (from the ail port) mixed into both canards separately to control the roll, and 1 elevon (from the ele port) mixed into both canards separately to control the pitch. Here are each mix page:
I hope this helps, its really not hard at all. Within each mix all I did was set (elevon) > (canard) and move the rates to either full 100% or -100%. Took no more than 5 minutes.
She is all ready to fly tomorrow (had rain today). So excited to let you guys know how she goes and obviously videos will come soon afterwards.

Is canard roll recommended in the manual for this model? (I know that is what we saw in the presentation, as well as here in James' setup)
I would love to hear the rationale behind it. Alpha?Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Ironically, it is exactly a scale outcry I'm guilty of right now - since the canards are not used for roll on the full size.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

So, yup, I was puzzled myself as Motion/Freewing never do manual-setup-walkthroughs on tailerons (which are commonplace on most fighter jets) but here they show roll being added to canards (which is not common at all), so I'm curious about that too! :)

Miroslav Cerny Welcome to Hobby Squawk! I'm excited to see it! I hope you can the Gripen pilot's signature. Where are you from?
Hi, Czech Republic, about 20 km from z
air bases Čáslav 211 fighter ... I know a few people, they are in contact with the pilots. Gripen and MiG 21 is my heart's desire.
