Thanks for the info! Hope to get it in the air soon.
I'm using an old Robbe/Futaba FC-18 with Assan 2.4 module. A nice feature in this Tx is that I can change channel assignment. No need to use a 6 channel Rx on a two servo setup, just because the mix output goes to channel 1 & 6. I just define that 6 operates 2.

yeah thats a plus. Nice radio too!
I would just set up a wingeron or delta mix.
Stick "down" (up elev) makes both arms raise together (little to no effect). 
Stick "up" (down elev) makes both arms drop pulling both brakes and collapsing the rear of foil. This will make the foil drop, stall or slow down.
Right stick movement pulls right aileron, (right turn)
left stick movement pulls left aileron (left turn)
dont matter if the opposite arm goes up when giving a control imput. This can be left alone or mixed out with EPA adjustment. It will not effect flight. 
Thats the ugliest hat Ive ever seen...looks good on you though.

Really? I have it the opposite way. For me, pulling the stick seems like a more natural way of pulling the brake lines. Like when stalling a plane.

i beladog
sorry but i agree with flarssen
pull down (down elev) to pull down the brakes lines to stall or slow down or landing
 
an other point
do you  think that the position of my engine is to "rear", dangerous for my glider's lines!!http://ericopp.free.fr/
 
and last point
the position of the arm is correct?
 
 
 
thank you
regards
eric

Eric,
Look at my build pictures and text, first posting in this thread.  I had the same problem and resolved it by moving the motor mount to the front of the vehicle, an easy change and it makes the craft look better.
Not sure it will actually affect the lines.

If you have a prop adapter for the axle, you can flip motor and mount, like I did.

Turning the mounting plate around makes more space inside. You can also put the plate between the motor and motor mount like I did. Should give some extra mm. All you have to do is drilling four holes using the motor mount as a guide.
