Radio System FAQ

How can I set up V-Tail mixing and still have a steerable nosewheel that does NOT respond to the elevator input?

To do this with the 6X, you will need to use both available mixes and channels 1-4 and 6. Plug the nose gear steering servo into channel 6, and all other hook ups as normal, and program the radio for V-tail. Note: If you want the channel 6 knob to remain active as a steering trim, do not do the second mix listed below. Remember that the Ele DR switch on the front of the radio MUST remain in the 'on' (down) position for these mixes to work.
