When I use the V-tail mixer, I can get either the rudder function to operate correctly, or the elevator function to operate correctly, but not both. How do I make the connections for the correct operation?
When you're setting up the V-Tail mixer, a lot depends upon the location of the control horns on the model. The V-tail setup in the instruction book assumes that the control horns are on the bottom surfaces. Some models, especially V-tail gliders, have the control horn on the top side of the control surface. This is the likely problem source.
When the control horns are on the bottom side of the control surface, you connect the servos as detailed in the instruction book:
Right-hand control surface on channel #4
Left-hand control surface on channel #2
If the control horns are on the top side of the control surface, you have to reverse the two connections, so that you have:
Right-hand control surface on channel #2
Left-hand control surface on channel #4
In either case, you set the servo reverse function so that both channels are set to "NOR" or "REV". It will depend upon which side of the servo the pushrod's connected to.
