AILEVATOR

[Corresponding model type]: Airplane/glider, Ailevator

(Effective only when 2 servos used at the elevators)

This function improves the 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.

(Aileron function)
● When the elevators are used

as ailerons, aileron travel of

the left and right elevators

(Elevator function)
● The up and down rate of both

elevators when the elevator stick

is moved can be individually

travel. Decrease the travel until no binding occurs.
