Using
V-TAIL
(
ACRO
GLID
):
V-TAIL
mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder
functions are combined for the two tail surfaces. Both elevator and rudder travel
can be adjusted independently on each surface.
NOTE
: If
V-TAIL
is active, you cannot activate
ELEVON
or
AILEVATOR
functions. If one of these functions is active, an error
message will be displayed and you must deactivate the last function prior to activating
ELEVON
. See the wing example on
page 51.
NOTE
: Be sure to move the elevator and rudder sticks regularly while checking the servo motions. If a large value of

travel until no binding occurs.
Adjustability:
• Requires use of CH2 and CH4.
• Independently adjustable travels allow for differences in servo travels.
• Rudder differential is not available. (To create rudder differential, set
RUD1
and
2
to
0
. Next, use two programmable
mixes,
RUD-ELE
and
RUD-RUD
, setting different percentages for up and down. These are your new rudder travels. Trim and
link off, switch assignment null so you can’t accidentally turn off rudder. See
PROG.MIX
, p. 68.)
