This is the process I followed to move the stern planes to the slider and the bow planes to the right stick. I’ve also included a link to a my stabilized model file you can upload directly to your radio… though the real question is: is it truly a model, or just a bootleg copy of Midnight Movie Massacre (1988)?
Step 1. Understand How the S6R Stabilization Works
Step 2. Reassign Elevator to Slider
✅ At this point, the stern planes (CH2) are stabilized and follow the slider.
Step 3. Set Up Bow Planes on Stick
✅ The bow planes now follow the stick directly, with no stabilization applied.
Step 4. Verify on the Bench
Step 1. Understand How the S6R Stabilization Works
- The S6R expects one stabilized elevator channel (normally CH2) from the transmitter.
- Stabilization is applied on the channel level (not on the stick), so whatever source drives CH2 will get stabilization applied.
- Therefore, we just need to map CH2 → Slider (S1) instead of J2 (stick).
Step 2. Reassign Elevator to Slider
- On the X18, go to Model → Mixer.
- Find CH2 (Elevator).
- Delete the default elevator mix line (linked to J2).
- Add a new line on CH2:
- Source → move the right slider (S1).
- Save.
- Now CH2 is driven only by the slider.
- Run the Stabilization Wizard again if needed — it will bind stabilization to whatever is on CH2 (now S1).
✅ At this point, the stern planes (CH2) are stabilized and follow the slider.
Step 3. Set Up Bow Planes on Stick
- Pick a free channel for bow planes (say CH6).
- In Mixer, add a new line:
- Channel: CH6.
- Source = Elevator Stick (J2).
- Weight = 100%.
- Save.
- Plug your bow plane servo into CH6 on the S6R.
✅ The bow planes now follow the stick directly, with no stabilization applied.
Step 4. Verify on the Bench
- Move the slider (S1) → stern planes move (and wiggle with stabilization).
- Move the right stick (J2) → bow planes move only.
- Stabilization should only act on stern planes (CH2).
