Tail (Rudder To Elevator mixing)
V
-
tail mixing is the process of mixing Rudder into
Elevator.
Smooth Flite provides you with a separate set of gyro
controlled V
-
Tail mix INPUT channels. This unique fea-
ture allows you to maintain gyro controlled Elevators
(for Canard control), separate gyro controlled Rudders
for use as, say, gyro controlled steering. All while having
a separate set of gyro controlled V
-
Tail channels.
When you Activate the V
-
tail mix function several things
will happen in the Smooth Flite.
1)
Input channels 15 and 16 will be assigned to the V
-
Tail 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 V
-
Tail surfaces.
2)
Weighted Mix mode will be selected by default.
3)
Rudder Mix will default to 50%.
Weighted Mix Mode.
Smooth Flite has 2 V
-
Tail modes. Weighted mix mode where the percentage of
Rudder to Elevator mix will always sum to 100% of combined Elevator and Rudder throws. The balance of
Rudder to Elevator is set with the Rudder mix parameter. In Weighted Mix Mode Elevator and Rudder
movement will be weighted to the percentage set by the Rudder Mix value.
EXAMPLE 1:
Rudder Mix of 50 will yield Elevons with 50% Elevator and 50% of Rudder throws.
EXAMPLE 2:
Rudder Mix of 30 will yield Elevons with 70% Elevator and 30% of Rudder 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 Rudder Mix percentage is added to the Elevator
throw. It is important to note that it is possible to over drive V
-
Tail controls in non weighted mode howev-
er, you can limit this drive to the desired maximum positions by setting servo limits in the Servo Output
(SO) Sub Trim & Servo Match page.
Rudder Mix
is the amount of Rudder mixed into the Elevator signal and sent to the V
-
Tail 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.
