ELVN Elevon mixing ELVN Elevon mixing
Intended for tailless, “flying wing” models such as delta wings and flying wings,
elevon mixing mixes channel 1 (aileron) to channel 2 (elevator) allowing the
elevons to operate in unison (as elevators) or in opposition (as ailerons). This
function requires that each elevon be operated by a separate servo.
To activate elevon mixing: To activate elevon mixing:
1. Connect the servo in the right wing to channel 2 (elevator) in the receiver and connect the
servo in the left wing to channel 1 (aileron) in the receiver.
2. Enter the programming mode. Access the “ELVN ELVN ” screen with the MODE key.
You cannot set “Elevon Elevon ” mixing when “ Flaperon Flaperon” or “ V-TL V-TL” mixing has already been set.
In order to enable “Elevon Elevon ” mixing, you first need to cancel both “Flaperon” and “V-tail”
mixing.
3. Push the DATA INPUT lever upward. This will cause the flashing “INH INH ” display to change to a
flashing “ON ON ” display. Now the mixing is on.
4. Next you set the left wing to channel 1 (aileron) setting. Press the SELECT key to display the
“CH1” and flashing “%” sign. Use the DATA INPUT lever to set the percentage of elevator
travel rate from -100% to +100%
5. Next you set the right wing to channel 2 (elevator) setting. Press the SELECT key to display
the “CH2” and flashing “%” sign. Use the DATA INPUT lever to set the percentage of rudder
travel rate from -100% to +100%
6. Once this mix has been activated, move the servos to their full extremes to make certain they are not overdriving the
controls. If necessary, adjust the linkages to achieve the correct control throws.
*If necessary, use the Servo Reversing
function to achieve the correct direction of
servo throws.
