separate aileron control use ELEVON. V-shaped tail models use V-TAIL,
ADVANTAGE:
•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:
• CH2 and CH8 only. (With programmable mixing, could utilize CH5 as the 2nd elevator servo.
THROTTLE-NEEDLE uses CH8 and cannot be active simultaneously).
• 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).
•Optional action as ailerons (defaults to 50% response). This response cannot be activated/ deactivated in
flight. Setting AIL1 and 2 to 0 disables this feature.
Note: if you want this, but on/off with a switch, set AIL1 and 2 to 0 here, and use 2 mixes. AIL-to-AUX2
(link/trim off, assign a switch), 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 (i.e. RUDDER-AILERON mixing), the radio
automatically commands both elevator servos to also operate as ailerons. To deactivate this action, simply set
the 2 aileron travel settings to 0 in the AILEVATOR function. This way the elevators will work only as
elevators.

3.3.9 Snap Rolls (ACRO)
This function allows you to execute snap rolls by flipping a switch, providing the same input every time. It
also removes the need to change dual rates on the 3 channels prior to performing a snap, as SNAP-ROLL
always takes the servos to the same position, regardless of dual rates, inputs held during the snap, etc.
Note: Every MULTIROTOR snaps differently due to its C.G., control throws, moments, etc. Some
