Default Elevators move when working ailerons

I have set my ailerons with a servo for each wing using channels 1 and 6 and using channel 2 for my elevators (two servos, one for each elevator half using a Y connector) but when working the ailerons the elevators will move. Any help with this issue please, I am using Futaba receiver R617FS.

First thought is that you are a new flyer(just joined rcu) and most new pilots have lousy stick control and either pull back or push forward on the elevator stick as they are moving the aileron stick right or left thus moving the elevators a little when moving the ailerons.
Or, whomever programmed your transmitter accidentally enabled another "mix" for aileron/elevator.

I've been flying for about five years, the issue is when I'd moved the ailerons stick to either to right or left the elevators will move, this transmiter controls my first model (Ultimate) and I have the same number of servos as I do on my second model (Extra 300). Issue begins when I switch from first to second model, and maybe you're wright about accidentally enabled a mix somewhere in the transmiter, which I am not aware of. I guess my next move is to compare settings in both models and see if I can find a difference in between, Thanks for your feedback.

It was a mix issue, after spending couple of hrs reading my transmiter manual, I realized that the mix for a "v" shape wing airplane was on, all is good now, thanks.
