Doe any of you guys know what is elevon mixing is?????
Elevon mixing they use it for delta wing.
Imagine an aircraft with ailerons and a vertical stabilizer but no rudder, such as certain flying wings, jets and other tailless or "odd" planes like my Shrike. (Memo to myself: In between hurricanes, I MUST overhaul that Shrike's engine soon. I MISS flying that plane! :wub: )
It is not JUST used on delta wing aircraft. :no:
Elevon mixing allows you to use the two control surfaces to act not only as an elevator, but also as ailerons, all at the same time. These two elevon surfaces can be in the tail, or on the main wings. When set up like that, a moveable rudder is not needed.
I have an Ultra Sport that uses the old way of mixing those two functions. Rather than using a computer radio, it is done with a mechanical sliding tray. The moving tray holds a servo that controls the ailerON part of the elevON function. The servo that controls the sliding tray controls the ELEVator part of the ELEVon function. Cool, huh? :thumbup: :D
Elevon Mixing:
Like Alan said, used on flying wing type models or things without a tail end.
The control surfaces on the wing act as ailerons for "roll" function and as elevator for "pitch" function.
The mixing part:
Depending on where you move the stick on transmitter, the wing control surfaces can both go up or down for the pitch function or one go up & one go down for the roll function. Or any combination of movement required for both "Roll" and "Pitch" at same time.
