The transmitter may be programmed for airplanes, gliders, or helicopters, all with special mixing functions, so it can accommodate virtually any model configuration. [. . . ] Press one of the Up Down Edit buttons repeatedly to select the ELVN window. To activate, press the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key. The letters "INH" will turn to "On. " 4. Press the Cursor Right key once, to get to the elevator travel setting menu. A small arrow is displayed over the numeral 2 represents elevator master channel, and the percent indicator will blink on and off. The little arrow below the 2 indicates left elevon is being set. Move the elevator stick all the way to the back (full up position): both elevons should move upwards like elevators. If the left (CH2) elevon moves down, change its travel direction by pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key to get 0% quickly, then pressing the Data -Decrease key until you reach -50%. If the right (CH1) elevon moves down with up elevator stick, change its travel direction by pressing the Cursor Right key (the little arrow moves under the 1), then press the Data -Decrease key until you reach -50%. Now you'll input the amount of aileron stick response on the right(CH1) elevon by pressing the Cursor Right key once. Now the little arrows move both over and under the 1, and you may adjust the amount of right elevon travel with the Data +Increase and -Decrease keys. As before, change the sign and use -50% if it travels the wrong way with aileron stick. Now you'll input the amount of aileron stick response on the left (CH2) elevon by pressing the Cursor Right key once. Now the little arrow moves under the 2, and you may adjust the amount of left elevon travel with the Data +Increase and -Decrease keys. Change the sign if travel needs to be reversed. motion has occurred. Therefore, you should keep the travel settings at 50% or below and adjust the control linkages to get the travel you desire. Note that you can not have both V-tail and elevon mixing active at the same time. CH2 CH4 CH2 CH4 Up Elevator Left Rudder (view from rear) Setting up V-Tail mixing 1. The right ruddervator should be plugged into CH2, and the left ruddervator should be plugged into CH4. Press one of the Up Down Edit buttons repeatedly to select the VTAL window. Press the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key to activate the V-tail function. Press the Cursor Right key once, to get to the elevator setting menu. A small arrow is displayed over the numeral 2, representing elevator master channel, and under the numeral 2, indicating the right (CH2) ruddervator, and the percent indicator will blink on and off.
