The Elevon function should be used with delta
wings, flying wings, and other tailless aircraft whose
layouts combine the aileron and elevator functions,
and requires one servo for each elevon. The aileron
and elevator response of each servo can be adjusted
independently. Connect the right aileron to receiver
H1/AIL and the left aileron to CH2/ELE. C
NOTE: The elevon, flaperon, aileron differential, and
ailevator functions cannot be activated
simultaneously. The function activated last has
priority.

2. Right aileron adjustment
Move the aileron stick in the direction
you want to adjust and set the value
with the (+)/(-) keys.
3. Left aileron adjustment
Again move the aileron stick in the
direction you want to adjust and
set the value as before.
• If you're unhappy with what you've
set, you may return to the default
value by pressing the (+) and (-)
keys simultaneously.

• Return to the default value by
pressing the (+) and (-) keys
simultaneously.

Be sure to move the elevator and aileron
sticks continually while checking the servo
motions. If a large value of travel is
specified, when the aileron and elevator
sticks are moved at the same time, the
servo travel may be large, and controls
may bind or run out of travel.
The Ailevator mixing function allows you to connect two servos
to the receiver that operate two independent elevator control
surfaces together as elevators and differentially as ailerons.
This may be used to get more realistic flying properties with jet
fighters and similar aircraft. You may also use this mixing to
drive dual elevator servo without differential. The elevator
and aileron travel can be adjusted independently. The two
elevator servos must be plugged into the receiver CH2 and CH8
outputs. NOTE: Ailevator mixing cannot be activated
simultaneously with the throttle
o
needle mixing function,
because they use the same receiver channels.
