Programmable mix (page.65) - To setup channel 7 (AU1) to track channel 2 (ELE):
P.MIX-5
Master = ELE
SLAVE = AU1
TRIM = N/A
SWITCH = NULL
RATE = 100%
OFFSET = 0

if this works Ok you can use reverse, sub-trim, end-point functions, etc on AU1 (channel 7) to make sure evelator 2 accurately tracks elevator 1 as you desire. I don't know your transmitter but you may also need to set the TRIM value to track your elevator trim control too.
PS. Check VERY carefully that NO other control or switch has any affect on channel 7 other than the Elevator control and trim.!

Simon I think the way to go is with the Y lead if you try to do a mix when you switch the gyro on you will have one elevator controlled by the gyro and the other controlled by the transmitter which may be interesting. but not what you intend..
Also there is a known problem with the latest futaba software and non futabu rx's causing loss of signal when flying with other futabu users. Futabu answer is buy futabu.

Hi John RI
Thank you for working out what I needed to do, works a treat and even better, no other switches or other controls affecting the elevator on 7 which is great. I have set up the gyro which is a really basic 3 axis unit. Only problem is I cannot seem to get the giro to work the ch 7 elevator servo. The control surface is unaffected whereas the elevator servo on ch2 reacts fine. I will keep studying the instructions!
