8. Now you'll input the amount of aileron stick response on the left (CH2) elevon by pressing
the key once. Now the little arrow moves under the 2, and you may adjust the

VTAL — V-Tail Mixing
V-tail mixing is used with V-tail aircraft so that
both elevator and rudder functions are combined for
the two tail surfaces, called "ruddervators." The
response to both elevator and rudder inputs can be
adjusted independently. However, if you program in too much elevator or rudder travel, when
both rudder and elevator are commanded the servos may reach their travel limits before full stick
motion has occurred. Therefore, you should keep the travel settings at 50% or below and adjust
the control linkages to get the travel you desire. Note that you cannot have both V-tail and
elevon mixing active at the same time.
Setting up V-Tail mixing
1. The right ruddervator should be plugged into CH2, and the left ruddervator should be
plugged into CH4.
