V-TAIL AND ELEVON MIXING
This radio includes mixing functions for controlling models having elevons on the
wings or a V-tail. Certain model types have a tail shaped like a “V”, instead of
the normal “T” shape. Mixing the transmitter’s elevator and rudder channels can
allow for independent
and
combined control of both the “pitch” and “yaw” axes.
Other airplane types, such as fl ying wings or “delta” wing models, do not include a
traditional tail with elevator surfaces. Yet, control of the model’s “roll” and “pitch” axes
is still required. Mixing the transmitter’s elevator and aileron (“elevon”) channels
can allow for independent
and
combined control of both the “roll” and “pitch” axes.
To set or change the mix setting:
1. As shown, with the transmitter
power switch in the OFF position
hold the right stick in the bottom-
right corner, and hold the left stick
in the bottom-left corner.
2. Turn the transmitter power
switch ON.
3. The LED should fl ash. If two beeps also sound the v-tail mix has been activated.
Check for proper operation of these channels. If the elevator or rudder controls
inside the model move backwards, it may be necessary to trade the servo
connections to channel 2 and channel 4 at the receiver. If V-tail is the desired mix
move to the next section.

4. To instead activate the elevon (delta wing) mix, turn the Tx power switch OFF
and repeat steps 1-3 above. Three beeps accompanying the fl ashing LED indicates
the elevon mixer is activated. If the elevator and aileron surfaces appear to move
backwards it may be necessary to trade the servo connections to channel 1 and
channel 2 at the receiver.

5. To cancel all mixes, again perform steps 1-3 above. One beep accompanying the
fl ashing LED indicates all mixes are off, with normal wing and tail controls.
