  • Page 31: Setup Tips

    6. You should now have an assembled aircraft. Aircraft Setup 1. After you have installed your RC receiver, you will need special V-Tail mixing in your transmitter’s menu system. Please see your user manual for more information if you are having trouble. If you do not have V-Tail mixing, or just want to save the extra channel, you may simply setup the tail with a Y-harness and eliminate the rudder.
  • Page 32 For our personal preference, we use 100% travel on all of our end points for the Anaconda. We suggest that if your RC transmitter has the capability, to use a 2 or 3 position switch to set throws at 60% and 80%. This will allow you to change mid-flight if you find that you have too much or too little control over the aircraft.
