AILVATOR setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0% (OFF). Adjusting the Ailvator Mixing percentage values
will change the ratio of elevator roll travel to elevator pitch travel. For example, when the Aileron
4
Left Elevator and the
Aileron
4
Right Elevator percentage values are both set to 50%, the elevator roll travel will be half the amount of the elevator
pitch travel at any given control stick position. This mix is Linear.
Setting one Ailvator Mixing percentage value opposite of the other Ailvator Mixing percentage value will cause both
elevator servos to move together when the elevator/aileron control stick is moved in both the up and down, and the right
and left directions.

The V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust the servo travel of the elevator and rudder servos
independently while the V-Tail Mixing option is Active. In some cases, minor differences in the control linkage geometry can result
in unequal control deflection. The V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment function allows you to equalize control deflection, and
in addition, allows you the ability to change the control deflection amount of each servo in both directions. This allows greater
flexibility in making control surface adjustments versus using the elevator and rudder channel End Point Adjustments in the EPA menu.
IMPORTANT
To be able to access the V-TAIL menu and program the V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment function, you must
choose the TAIL>V-TAIL Model Type selection option in the TYPE menu. In addition, depending on the specific orientation of
your control linkages, in order for the V-Tail Mixing function to work as intended, one of the servos may need to be reversed
(using the NOR/REV setting in the REVERSE menu) so that both control surfaces move Up and Down together using the
elevator control stick.
2) Press the Navigation Pad

to highlight V-TAIL, then press the
ENTER key to display the V-TAIL menu. The cursor will default to EL
(DOWN) EL>80%.
Changing V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment Percentage Values - Elevator Up and Down
Prior to changing the V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment percentage values, you should first adjust the elevator and rudder
channel End Point Adjustment percentage values in the EPA menu to achieve the desired maximum amount of control
deflection in all four directions (elevator Up and Down, and rudder Right and Left), then use the V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment
function to fine-tune the servo travel of each servo independently.
3) Press the Navigation Pad
5634
to highlight the desired servo (EL or
RU) and direction of travel (DOWN or UP) you would like to change the
V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment percentage value for. For example, if
the Rudder servo moves Up more than the Elevator servo moves Up
when you move the elevator control stick, you would decrease the EL
(UP) RU>80% percentage value.
4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to set the desired V-Tail Mixing
End Point Adjustment percentage value.
V-TAIL EL (DOWN) and EL (UP) setting range is 100% to 0%. The default setting is 80%. Decreasing the V-Tail Mixing End
Point Adjustment percentage value will decrease the movement for that specific servo and direction of travel. Increasing the
V-Tail Mixing End Point Adjustment percentage value will increase the movement for that specific servo and direction of travel.
1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.
5) Repeat the previous procedures to set the desired remaining V-Tail Elevator Mixing End Point Adjustment percentage values.
