Elevons (Aileron to Elevator mixing)
Elevons or Tailerons or Ailevators mixing is the process
of mixing aileron into elevator.
Smooth Flite provides you with a separate set of Gyro
controlled Elevon mix INPUT channels. This unique fea-
ture allows you to maintain gyro controlled Elevators
(for Canard control), separate gyro controlled Ailerons
for use as, say, flaperons or crow on a complexed jet
model installation. All while having a separate set of gy-
ro controlled Elevons.
When you Activate the Elevon mix function several things will happen in the Smooth Flite.
1)
Input channels 15 and 16 will be assigned to the Elevon function. Input Channels 19 and 20 will then
ignore signal from the transmitter. This allows you to then assign as many servo outputs as required
from channels 15 and 16 for left and right Elevons.
2)
Weighted Mix mode will be selected by default.
3)
Aileron Mix will default to 50%.
Weighted Mix Mode.
Smooth Flite has 2 Elevon modes. Weighted mix mode where the percentage of
Aileron to Elevator mix will always sum to 100% of combine Elevator and Aileron throws. The balance of
Aileron to Elevator is set with the Aileron mix parameter. With an Aileron Mix value of 50%, Weighted mix
mode is good for axial rolls (depending on model type). In Weighted Mix Mode Elevator and Aileron
movement will be weighted to the percentage set by the Aileron Mix value
EXAMPLE 1:
Aileron Mix of 50 will yield Elevons with 50% Elevator and 50% of Aileron throws.
EXAMPLE 2:
Aileron Mix of 30 will yield Elevons with 70% Elevator and 30% of Aileron throws.
Non Weighted Mix Mode.
If you deselect Weighted Mix mode then the mix will be non weighted. In this
mode 100% of Elevator throw is maintained and the Aileron Mix percentage is added to the Elevator
throw. This allows for very scale like movement of Elevons. It is important to note that it is possible to
over drive Elevons in non weighted mode however, you can limit this drive to the desired maximum posi-
tions by setting servo limits in the Servo Output (SO) Sub Trim & Servo Match page.
Aileron Mix
is the amount of Ailerons mixed into the Elevator signal and sent to the Elevon processor.
Elevator Direction
will reverse the direction of the elevator portion in the elevons. This can be used in
combination with the Servo Out Sub Trim pages to get correct directional movement in any setup.
Check the AR product page for setup videos.
