Aircraft tail types
(
ACRO
GLID
):
There are 4 basic tail types in aircraft models:
• Simple. Model uses one elevator servo and one rudder servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness). This is the default.
• Dual Elevator servos. Model uses 2 elevator servos. see
AILVATOR
(
ACRO
) see p. 57.
• Tail-less model. Model uses 2 wing servos together to create roll and pitch control. see
ELEVON
(
ACRO
GLID 1A+1F
). see p. 56.
•
V-TAIL
. Model uses 2 surfaces, at an angle, together to create yaw and pitch control. see
V-TAIL
(
ACRO
GLID
). see p. 58.
Note: Only one of the three tail-type functions (
AILEVATOR
,
V-TAIL
, and
ELEVON
) can be used at a time. The radio provides a

Adjustability:
• Requires use of CH1 and CH2.
• Independently adjustable aileron travel allows aileron differential.
• Independently adjustable elevator travel allows for differences in up vs. down
travel.
• Separate

settings for each condition (
