Wing Mixing Type Selection Wing Mixing Type Selection
There are two different wing mixing functions to select from:

V-tail mixing

V-tail mixing
Intended for V-tail aircraft (such as a Beechcraft Bonanza), V -tail mixing allows the

controls. If necessary, adjust the linkages to achieve the correct control throws.

Elevon mixing

Elevon mixing
Intended for tailless, "flying wing"
elevon mixing mixes channel 1 (aileron) to channel 2 (elevator) allowing the
elevons to operate in unison (as elevators) or in opposition (as ailerons). This
function requires that each elevon be operated by a separate servo.
To activate elevon mixing: To activate elevon mixing:
1. Connect the servo in the right wing to channel 2 (elevator) in the receiver and connect the
servo in the left wing to channel 1 (aileron) in the receiver.
