AlLEVATORS/COMBINED AlLERONS & ELEVATORS (ALV)

This

function

allows

you

hook

the

eleva-

tor surface on each side of the airplane independ-

ently,

that

they

operate

together

(elevator

mode) and differentially (aileron mode). This

function,

sometimes called

"ailevators"

(ALV)

will

give aileron control even at low speeds, because

the

propeller

wash

always passing over

the

tail

surfaces and may be used for rolling commands.

This function requires two elevator servos con-

nected to receiver output channels 2 and 5. In this

manual (see diagram), the rear control surfaces are

referred to as Aileron 3 and Aileron 4. With this

function, all control deflections — left and right

ailerons,

and

elevator

both

sides

—

can

adjusted. You may even add differential to the rear

ailerons.

Checking Your Work

After you have set up the Ailevator rates, be sure that

they move the correct directions. For up elevator com-

mand, both elevators should move upward. For right

aileron command, the trailing edge of the right-hand

surface should move up. and the trailing edge of the left-

hand surface should move down. If they do not, use the

+/- to reverse the direction as needed. Adjust the

travels on either side to get the differential effect, if you

wish.
