Using V-TAIL(ACRO):
V-TAIL mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder functions
are combined for the two tail surfaces. The elevator and rudder travel can be
adjusted independently.
NOTE:IfV-TAIL is active, you cannot activate ELEVON functions. If one of these functions is active, an error message will be
displayed and you must deactivate the last function prior to activating ELEVON. See the wing example on page 42.
NOTE:Besure to move the elevator and rudder sticks regularly while checking the servo motions. If a large value of travel
is specified, when the sticks are moved at the same time, the controls may bind or run out of travel. Decrease the travel
until no binding occurs.
Adjustability:
Independently adjustable elevator/rudder travels.
CH (2/1 CH): This allows you to utilize V-TAIL function with v-tail aircraft so that elevator and aileron are combined.
Ex: A v-tail polyhedral wing with no ailerons would use this option. The v-tail will have both pitch and roll on the right
stick.
(For details on setting up a complex plane, such as one with a v-tail AND a separate steerable nosewheel, please visit our
