EdgeTX Elevons tutorial
This is relevant if:
- You have a controller running EdgeTX
- You have a flying wing with a servo on each control surface
Connect the two elevon servos to channel 1 and channel 2 on the receiver. This is a common setup where channel 3 is used for the throttle.
On the mixes screen, long-press [Enter] and select Insert after on both channels to add a mix line for each:
Edit the mixes so that each channel mixes the Elevator and Aileron inputs with a weight of 50 on each as shown below:
Check the movements of the elevons as shown below:
| Input | Control Surface |
|---|---|
| Pitch up | Both elevons go up |
| Pitch down | Both elevons go down |
| Roll right | Left elevon up, right elevon down |
| Roll left | Left elevon down, right elevon up |
Commonly, a pitch up movement is input by pulling the joystick downwards, akin to an aircraft yoke.
In case the elevons are not moving in the correct directions, see the following examples:
If when pitching up the channel 1 elevon moves down instead of up, invert this in the mix by changing the weight to -50 for the elevator, as shown below:
Similarly, if when pushing right on the stick, the channel 1 elevon moves in the wrong direction, it can be inverted by changing the Aileron weight to -50 on channel 1, as shown below:
Repeat this inversion process until the control surfaces move in the correct directions shown in the above table.
