EN computer radio control system 12.3 Ailevator 12.4 V-Tail Mix The ailevator function uses two servos for the elevator channel. Both sides can be programmed to be controlled independently. If you have this selected as your model’s tail type, you can find the Ailevator menu in “Fine Tuning, >Ailevator”. The V-Tail mix function uses two tail servos to control both the elevator function and the rudder function. See chapter 9.2.
EN computer radio control system 12.5 Delta/Elevon Mix 12.6 Spoilers to Elevator Mix The Delta/Elevon Mix uses two servos for the control of both the elevator and aileron functions. This mix is most commonly used for Delta type aircraft. If you have this selected as your model’s tail type, you can find the Delta/Elevon menu in „Fine Tuning, >Delta/Elevon“. For models equipped with spoilers, the elevator is often used to compensate for any pitching tendancies generated when the spoilers are deployed.
