ELEVONS (EVN)
This function may be used to set up the con-
trols for delta wings, flying wings, and other tail-
less aircraft which need combined aileron and
elevator functions. Receiver CH1 and CH2 are
made the operating channels for the two elevons,
and differential operation is possible.
The elevator deflection angle and operating
direction can be set for each servo. For conve-
nience, the elevon deflection angles can be trim-
med in flight when a volume-setting lever is acti-
vated (this setting is performed by the aileron
differential ADF function on page 125).

Setting the Aileron 1 Rates
You now set the left-side rate for Aileron 1. Press the
B key to activate left rate setting for Aileron 1 and set
the rate with the numeric keys E to M . The number
keys 0 through 100 input the value directly. The +
and - keys increase or decrease the value by 1. The
+/- key may be used to reverse the throw direction.
If you are not sure what you are changing, hold the
stick to one side and press different keys — if there is no
effect, move the aileron stick to the other side and con-
tinue. Your setting may vary from —120 to +120%, the
initial value is +100%.
Now set the right-side rate for Aileron 1. Press theQ
key to activate Aileron 1 right rate setting and set the rate
with the numeric keys as before.
Setting the Aileron 2 Rates
This procedure is repeated for Aileron 2. Press theC
key to activate left rate setting for Aileron 2 and set the
rate with the numeric keys E to M as before.
Now set the right-side rate for Aileron 2. Press the
P key to activate Aileron 2 right rate setting and set the
rate as before.
Setting the Elevator Rates — 1 and 2
You now set the rate for Elevator 2. Press the D key
to activate rate setting for Elevator 2 and set the rate with
the numeric keys E toM .
Now set the rate for Elevator 1. Press the O key to
activate Elevator 1 rate setting and set its rate with the
numeric keys.
Checking Your Work
After you have set up the Elevon rates, be sure that
they move the correct directions. For up elevator com-
mand, both elevons should move upward. For right
aileron command, the trailing edge of the right-hand
surface should move up, and the trailing edge of the left-
hand surface should move down. If they do not, use the
+/- to reverse the direction as needed.
Use the END ( N ) key to leave this menu.
