Part 7: Elevon Mixing

Elevon Information Theory

• Elevon / V-Tail Mixing
• Elevon / V-Tail Mixing Calculations

Motion Rules

• elevator back: elevons up
• elevator forward: elevons down
• aileron left: left elevon up, right elevon down
• aileron right: right elevon up, left elevon down

Procedure:

• Mix the elevator stick on both channels.
  The value will be either 50% or -50%, depending on how your servos are set up.
  If the control surfaces move in the wrong direction, swap the sign.
• Mix the aileron stick on both channels.
  The multiplex parameter will be "add", and the values will also be 50% or -50%.
  Proper motion:  when the stick moves left, the left control surface should raise and the right control surface should lower.  Vice versa for moving the stick right.

Example Mix

Ch 2  Ele    50%
  +=  Ail   -50%
Ch 3  Ele   -50%
  +=  Ail   -50%
