Tandem Rotor Helis Vertol Chinook > need a little help with the hirobo mixer

HI,
I have just finished building the mechanics of my hirobo chinook, and installed the radio gear.

The swashplates appear to work;
rudder:swashes move in opposite directions.
Pitch: swashes both go up and down.
Ailerons: both move left/right together.

But elevator seems a bit odd..
when I tilt forward or back, the FA and RP servos don't move, yet they respond fine with all other controls.
That means that if I change settings to get them working with elevator, won't that screw up the other controls which work fine?

The hirobo mixer has default settings.

any thoughts on what I could try?

any help highly appreicated!

meanwhile, heres a pic of my Vario XLV e-power (2.5m rotor diameter!)

I have just had the first flight with mine and am use JR9 radio with the build manual presets,front and rear blades have been recovered with black fablon,balanced and tracked the gyro has a modified mount 1/4 alloy plate same size as gyro base this is mounted to the heli with four pads and the gyro mounted to this with four more pads.This has all worked well and I was surprised how well it flies on completly standard settings.Being new to twins I would go back to the factory settings for your radio and try again.When you move the sticks as you say all should move front and rear.

OK it's always something simple, I traced it back to a programmable mixer on the transmitter.
so I disabled it and all appears OK!
