15.7.1. Activating the V-tail
Menu: (
MIXER) V-TAIL
Activating the V-LEIT mixer:
4 to MENU, r (SETUP appears),
3 to MIXER, r (TH >S4 appears, e.g.),
3 to V-TAIL, r
The current setting for the mode of the V-TAIL mixer
flashes in the bottom line.
Now proceed as follows:
a. Pull the ELEVATOR stick back towards you, and
hold it in that position.
b. Use the 3-D digi-adjustor to change the mode of
the V-tail mixer from 1 to 4 until both V-tail panels
are in the correct position (both up).
c. Move the RUDDER stick to the left and hold it
there.
d. If the rudder movements are reversed, use the 3-D
digi-adjustor to set the same number, but with a
minus sign (“-”) as prefix.
A brief press r on the 3-D digi-adjustor concludes the
process. The value is stored.
15.7.2. Setting the V-tail travels for RUDDER /
ELEVATOR
The control surface travels are set using the Dual Rate
values for RUDDER (DR R) and ELEVATOR (DR E)
(Î 15.8.1.).
! Check the position of the D-R switch
There is a separate value for each switch position. If
you set the same value for both switch positions, you
do not need to think about the switch position when you
operate the model.
15.7.3. V-tail compensation inputs
Menus: TH -CO, SP -CO
The compensation inputs for THROTTLE and
SPOILER are set using the method as described for a
cruciform (cross-) or T-tail (Î 15.6.2.). However, both
control surfaces of the V-tail move in this case.
15.8. Transmitter control settings
Dual-Rate and Exponential
for AILERON, ELEVATOR and RUD-
DER
15.8.1. Dual-Rate for AILERON, ELEVATOR,
RUDDER
Menu: (
CONTRL) DR
You can set two different rates for the three transmitter
controls AILERON, ELEVATOR and RUDDER for each
position of the D-R switch
In the C
OCKPIT SX the Dual-Rate function has two pur-
poses:
• Assigning two different rates to one stick.
Example: for fine control when flying normally, the
model’s response to the stick should only be 50%
(low rate). In extreme situations the D-R switch can
be used to switch back to full travel (100%).
• Adjusting the effect of the transmitter control if the
control is working in conjunction with a mixer.
Example: the V-tail servos are actuated by superim-
posed ELEVATOR and RUDDER functions. You can
use the Dual-Rate function to determine the extent to
which the two inputs influence the V-tail.
Moving to the DR menu:
4 to MENU, r (SETUP appears),
3 to CONTRL, r (DR AI appears), r
The current setting flashes. Our example shows the
Dual-Rate setting for Q (AILERON). Use the 3-D digi-
adjustor to select the desired value within the range
100% to 25%. The minimum value of 25% avoids the
danger of switching off one control completely (0%).
Important:
The setting applies only to the current setting of the D-
R switch. Check this by switching to the second value.
A brief press r on the 3-D digi-adjustor concludes the
process. The value is stored.
 TIP: If you do not wish to use the D-R function, sim-
ply set the same values for both switch positions. This
will protect you from unwelcome surprises if the switch
happens to be in the wrong position.
Important: be careful with flight phases
If you have activated flight phases (Î 15.9.2), the set-
ting may be different for each flight phase. Select the
flight phase using the PH switch. The screen displays
the currently selected flight phase (Î 15.9.3. table 2).
15.8.2. Setting the Exponential function
Menu: (
CONTRL) EXP
The Exponential function is used to provide finer con-
trol about the centre position of the stick. However, in
