Using V-TAIL (ACRO
GLID):
V-TAIL
mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder
functions are combined for the two tail surfaces. Both elevator and rudder travel
can be adjusted independently on each surface.

NOTE: If V-TAIL is active, you cannot activate ELEVON or AILEVATOR functions. If one of these functions is active, an error
message will be displayed and you must deactivate the last function prior to activating ELEVON. See the wing example on
page 51.

• Rudder differential is not available. (To create rudder differential, set RUD1 and 2 to 0. Next, use two programmable
mixes, RUD-ELE and RUD-RUD, setting different percentages for up and down. These are your new rudder travels. Trim and
link off, switch assignment null so you can’t accidentally turn off rudder. See PROG.MIX, p. 68.)
