The following tutorial will show you how
to set up your dual servos on you elevators for up and down movement for
elevator function and setting them up to travel opposite directs in sync
with your ailerons for tight rolls.
SETTING UP THE SERVOS
- Plug the right elevator into channel 2
- Plug the left elevator into channel 5
SETTING SERVO TRAVEL DIRECTION
- Turn on the transmitter
- press both edit buttons to open menu
- Check your Programmable mixers to insure that servo channels 2 and
5 are not being used.
- Press the up or down edit button until AILV appears in your
transmitters window.
- Turn on or activate the AILV feature by pressing the
active/inhibit (clear) key. (The display will change from
"inh" to on)
- At this point both elevator servos should move.
- They should move in the same directions
- If they do not move in the same directions press the right curser
button to get to the travel settings menu
- The transmitter window will display AIVL (+ 0r -) 100
- The + or - signs indicate which way the servos travel.
Changing that sign will reverse the servos
- If the right elevator moves in the right direction skip to line
16.
- If the right elevator moves in the wrong direction press
the right curser key until you see the master and slave arrows above
and below CH 2.
- Hold down the opposite data button to change the direction.
Example:
Problem The right elevator reads +100 and moves in the
wrong direction
Solution hold down the - data button until the
window displays - 100.
- The right elevator should now move in the right direction.
- If the left elevator moves in the wrong direction press the right
curser key until you see the down arrow above CH 2 and the up arrow
below CH 5
- Hold down the opposite data button to change the direction.
Example:
Problem The left elevator reads -100 and moves in the
wrong direction
Solution hold down the + data button until the
window displays + 100.
- The left elevator should now move in the right direction.

SETTING UP ELEVATORS TO MOVE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS FOR TIGHTER
ROLLS
If the elevators move opposite each other when pushing the right
stick left or right then skip this section.
- If they do not move opposite press the right curser button until
the down arrow is above CH 1 and the up arrow is below CH 5
- The window will display AILV (+ or -) 100
- Press and hold the + or - data button until the + or minus sign
changes
- Continue holding down the button until it reads 100 again
ADJUSTING ELEVATOR TRAVEL
Both elevators should travel the same amount up and down for elevator
control and move opposite the same amount for aileron control.
