[. . . ] Model uses one elevator servo and one rudder servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness). Model uses 2 surfaces, at an angle, together to create yaw and pitch control. Note: Only one of the three tail-type functions (AILVATOR, V-TAIL, and ELEVON) can be used at a time. (See the wing type example on page 41. ) Using ELEVON(ACRO ): Used with delta wings, flying wings, and other tailless aircraft that combine aileron and elevator functions, using two servos, one on each elevon. This is also popular for ground model use, such as tanks, which drive two motors together for forward, and one motor forward/one backward for turning. Also aileron differential can be adjusted in this programming. Adjustability: · Requires use of CH1 and CH2. · Adjustable aileron differential. NOTE: If ELEVON is active, you cannot activate FLAPERON or AILVATOR. NOTE: Be sure to move the elevator and aileron sticks to full deflection during setup. If a large amount of travel is specified, when the AILERON and ELEVATOR STICKS are moved at the same time the controls may bind. (For details on setting up a complex aerobatic plane, such as "space shuttle" style controls, please visit www. futaba-rc. com\faq\faq-7c. html. Many other setup examples are also available at this location. ) GOAL of EXAMPLE: Activate ELEVON. View additional model setups on the internet: www. futaba-rc. com\faq\faq-7c. html 44 STEPS: Open the ELEVON function. INPUTS: for 1 second. (If basic, to ELEVON. again. ) to +10%. (Elevator travel) (Aileron travel) Dual Elevator Servos (with a rudder) (AILEVATOR) (ACRO): Many models use two elevator servos, plugged in separate receiver channels. Benefits: · 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: 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). Note: if you want this, but on/off with a switch, set AIL3 and 4 to 0 here, and use 2 mixes ­ AIL-to-ELEV and AIL-to-AUX2(assign a switch) ­ to 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. Once AILEVATOR is activated, unless you zero out the aileron figures (see below), any time you move your ailerons or any programming moves your ailerons (ie. RUDDER-AILERON mixing), the radio automatically commands both elevator servos to also operate as ailerons. [. . . ] . 61 SWASH-THR: (HELI, CCPM types only) Corrects slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation at aileron or elevator operation. 72 Switch programmability: MANY features are reassignable to a variety of switches, including simply moving an auxiliary control such as flaps from the stock dial to a switch or other location. 85 Technical Specifications. . 9 THR-REV: Reverses the throttle trim function to the top of the THROTTLESTICK. . 30 Throttle-to-rudder mix: Used to compensate with rudder when throttle is applied on take off.
