ELEVATOR ELEVATOR 2
(AILERON 5) (AILERON 6)
●Return to Model Menu
Ailevator [Corresponding model type]: Airplane/glider, V-Tail
(Effective only when 2 servos used at the elevators)
This function improves the operating performance of
the roll axis by operating the elevators as ailerons.
Ailevator is where each elevator in a standard
(conventional) or v-tail moves independently, like
ailerons on a wing. In addition to each elevator side
moving up and down together, each side moves in
opposite directions when moving as an Ailevator. On
a V-tail, this is also known as a Ruddervator, as they
can serve the same purpose. Typically, both Ailevator
and ailerons are coupled together to maximize roll
performance, especially on larger wingspan planes..
Note: Select Ailevator as the Model Type at the Model
Type screen. This changes the output channel. Check
the Function menu.
● Touch the [AIL] button in the Model Menu to
call the setup screen shown below.
(Aileron function)
● When the elevators are used as ailerons, aileron travel
of the left and right elevators can be adjusted.

(Elevator function)
● The up and down rate of the left and right elevators
when the elevator stick is manipulated can be
individually adjusted.
