Elevon (See Tail Types); Tail Types; Elevon - FUTABA 10CAG Instruction Manual

Aircraft tail types ( ACRO GLID ):
There are 4 basic tail types in aircraft models:
• Simple. Model uses one elevator servo and one rudder servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness). This is the default.
• Dual Elevator servos. Model uses 2 elevator servos. see AILVATOR ( ACRO ) see p. 57.
• Tail-less model. Model uses 2 wing servos together to create roll and pitch control. see ELEVON ( ACRO GLID 1A+1F ). see p. 56.
• V-TAIL . Model uses 2 surfaces, at an angle, together to create yaw and pitch control. see V-TAIL ( ACRO GLID ). see p. 58.
Note: Only one of the three tail-type functions ( AILEVATOR , V-TAIL , and ELEVON ) can be used at a time. The radio provides a

GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Activate ELEVON .
Adjust aileron down travel to 90% of up
travel, creating aileron differential.
Where next?
Adjustability:
• Requires use of CH1 and CH2.
• Independently adjustable aileron travel allows aileron differential.
• Independently adjustable elevator travel allows for differences in up vs. down
travel.
• Separate ELEVON settings for each condition ( GLID only)
[Note] When changing the polarity (positive or negative) of a rate, "change rate
dir?" is displayed as a check. Please set up after pressing DIAL for 1 second and
canceling the alarm display. ( GLID only)
NOTE: If ELEVON is active, you cannot activate FLAPERON , AILE-DIFF , or
AILEVATOR . An error message OTHER WING MIXING IS ON displays and you must
deactivate the last function to activate ELEVON .
setup. If large travels are specified, when the AILERON and ELEVATOR
STICKS are moved at the same time the controls may bind or run out of travel.

STEPS:
Open the ELEVON function.
Activate the function.
Optional: adjust the up/down travel
separately for the servos as ailerons.
(Ex: down to 90% .)
Optional: adjust the elevator travel of
each servo. (Ex: right servo elev. travel
to 98% , left to 105% .)
