[. . . ] The ailerons' down motion to Note that you cannot use either flaperon or V-tail mixing 50% to 75% of the up-moving when elevon mixing is active. The aileronSetting up elevon mixing to-rudder mixing function is Nose Points outside Circle 1. The right elevon should be plugged into CH1, and the turned on and off by the increase coupling and/or differential left elevon should be plugged into CH2. Press one of the Up Flashing Down Edit buttons until the A->R window appears, as shown. The default is for the function to be inhibited, as shown. to activate , press the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key.
