Using V-TAIL (ACRO

GLID):

V-TAIL

mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder

functions are combined for the two tail surfaces. Both elevator and rudder travel
can be adjusted independently on each surface.

NOTE: If V-TAIL is active, you cannot activate ELEVON or AILEVATOR functions. If one of these functions is active, an error
message will be displayed and you must deactivate the last function prior to activating ELEVON. see the wing example on
page 51.

NOTE: Be sure to move the elevator and rudder sticks regularly while checking the servo motions. If a large value of

travel until no binding occurs.

Adjustability:
• Requires use of CH2 and CH4.
• Independently adjustable travels allow for differences in servo travels.
• Rudder differential is not available. (To create rudder differential, set RUD1 and 2 to 0, then use two programmable mixes,

RUD-ELE

and RUD-RUD, setting different percents for up and down. These are your new rudder travels. Trim and link off,

switch assignment null so you can’t accidentally turn off rudder. see PROG.MIX, p. 68.)

(For details on setting up a complex plane, such as one with a v-tail AND a separate steerable nosewheel, please visit our
FAQ at www.futaba-rc.com\faq\. Many other setup examples are also available at this location.)
