inverted v-tail elerudder config

Posted by gregory nichols on June 12, 2015 at 6:42pm

Hello everyone

I have searched hi and low trying to find out how to set up the inverted v-tail.

Pitch and yaw work well for the standard v-tail. But for the inverted v-tail if I get pitch to work I am unable to get yaw to work in the proper direction.

The air frame I am trying to config is the RMRC anaconda.

    @Gregory,

    I just completed setting up my Anaconda in the Manual mode.

    Here is how I have it configured:

    I setup the joystick throws according to the Wiki:

    Ch 1: Roll left=low…Right=high
    Ch 2: Pitch forward=low…Pitch back=high
    Ch 3: Throttle down(off)=low…Throttle up=high
    Ch 4: Yaw left=low…Yaw right=high

    RCMAP_PITCH, 2 Left V-Tail servo

    RCMAP_ROLL, 1

    RCMAP_THROTTLE, 3

    RCMAP_YAW, 4 Right V-Tail servo

    VTAIL_OUTPUT, 2

    Typicalaimster had his VTAIL_OUTPUT set to 3, but that did not work for me. I would have had to reverse the right and left tail servo connections to get that to work.

    I still have to check the FBWA servo movements which might require me to check one of the "reverse" boxes for either PITCH, YAW, or ROLL.

    Regards,
