ELVN
— Elevon Mixing
The Elevon function should be used with delta wings, flying wings,
and other tailless aircraft whose layouts combine the aileron and elevator
functions, and requires one servo for each elevon. Connect the right elevon
to receiver CH1 and the left elevon to CH2.
The amount of aileron and elevator response can be adjusted
independently. However, if you program in too much elevator or rudder
travel, the servos may reach their travel limits before full stick motion has
occurred. The default values for this mixer are 100%, but you may want to
keep the travel settings at 50% or below because most elevon planes are very sensitive, and
adjust the control linkages to get the travel you desire. Note that you cannot use either flaperon
or V-tail mixing when elevon mixing is active.
Setting up elevon mixing
1. The right elevon should be plugged into CH1, and the left elevon should be plugged into
CH2.
2. Press one of the
Up Down Edit
buttons repeatedly to select the
ELVN
window.
3. To activate, press the

5. Move the elevator stick all the way to the back (full up position): both elevons should move
upwards like elevators. If the left (CH2) elevon moves down, change the its travel direction
by pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key to get 0% quickly, then pressing the Data –
Decrease key until you reach -50%.
