Hi,
one thing which is common and important among all flyers who uses airlons is that, while using airlons, a little bit of up elevator is also required to use while using airlons. without which the model will crash after roll.
i want to do a mixing which will give a slight elevator on using airlons. i have futaba T6XA
Please  :help:

Fly high if you have good set of batteries.....!

Sandeep,
I would suggest, that you learn to add manual inputs before you try to mix inputs electronically. Would polish your flying better than letting the Tx fly for you.
What you need to do is, learn to keep the nose level in a turn. When you bank or yaw (for a model with dihedral) to initiate a turn the secondary effect leads to the nose dropping from the flight path, idealy a turn should not lead to nose drop and to ensure this you need to apply some elevator as well. In very steep bank you may also have to add in bit of opposite,rudder to ensure that the nose does not drop below.

Thanks (Name?),
i am already flying my birdies on airlons (latest is Pilatus Porter) only and what you have suggested is also correct. now i just want to experiment electronically. is that possible with my current Tx? or any other way.

What is common is to mix flaps to elevators, because you don't want to keep re-trimming it. Look at it this way, how will you mix aileron (Not Airlon) to elevator ? obviously nose up ? what happens during inverted flying ?you apply aileron and elevator mix you will have to over correct pitch, now when you are coming out of inverted will be fun to watch, sure to be doomed, (Not always though). try elevator to flaps on a switch, mix it and see, it does some real neat Kulbit

Sandeep,
I do not think that is possible on your T6XA (i had this set but the memory is a bit foggy now).
If you are using single servo to control the ailerons, then it is not possible, and the T6XA I beleive does not allow mixing of Ch 1 and 6 together to  Channel 2
