Adjustability:
• Rate: -100% (full up flap) to +100% (full down flap), with a default of +50% (one-half of the flap range is
achieved when the ELEVATOR STICK is pulled to provide full up elevator.)
• Switch: fully assignable. Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned. IF you set it to NULL, the mix
does not work. (ACRO)
•Range (GLID): The range that mixing does not work near neutral of an elevator stick can be set up. Hold
the stick to the desired point (upper or lower side) , then press DIAL and hold one second to set the range.
• Condition (GLID): The separate ELEV-FLAP settings for each condition can be set.
Goals
Activate ELEV-FLAP
mixing. Adjust flap
travel to 0% flaps with
negative elevator
(push) and 45%flaps
with positive elevator.

3.3.8 Dual Elevator Servos (with a rudder) (AILEVATOR) (ACRO):

Many models use two elevator servos, plugged in separate receiver channels. (Flying wings without a
separate aileron control use ELEVON. V-shaped tail models use V-TAIL,
ADVANTAGE:
•Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel.
• Ease of assembly, not requiring torque rods for a single servo to drive 2 surfaces.
• Elevators acting also as ailerons for extreme stunt flying or more realistic jet flying (optional).
• Redundancy, for example in case of a servo failure or mid-air collision.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• CH2 and CH8 only. (With programmable mixing, could utilize CH5 as the 2nd elevator servo.
THROTTLE-NEEDLE uses CH8 and cannot be active simultaneously).
• Direction of each servo's travel may be reversed in REVERSE or the set percentages may be reversed here.
• Elevator travels independently adjustable (both directions and percent).
•Optional action as ailerons (defaults to 50% response). This response cannot be activated/ deactivated in
flight. Setting AIL1 and 2 to 0 disables this feature.
Note: if you want this, but on/off with a switch, set AIL1 and 2 to 0 here, and use 2 mixes. AIL-to-AUX2
(link/trim off, assign a switch), get aileron action from the elevator servos when the assigned switch is on.
The AILEVATOR mixing function uses one servo on each of the two elevators, and combines the elevator
function with the aileron function (unless aileron travel is set to 0). For aileron effect, the elevators are raised
and lowered opposite of one another in conjunction with the ailerons.'
