Elevon/Vtail Mixer

[oscarjunior]

Hi, does anyone know where i can get a project for built a Elevon/Vtail Mixer using a pic 12f629 or 12c508?

i am interested in building one myself, but I do not know much programing. I am getting stuck on captureing the signal, and them outputing the signal.

Now I have to admit my ignorance.

I have only ever flown "traditional" tail feathers with a vertical fin/rudder and horizontal stab/elevator.

I can understand how the UP and DOWN functions works on a V Tail - both halves UP or DOWN.

Can you confirm my guess as to a RIGHT turn? The RIGHT side of the elevator goes UP and the LEFT side goes DOWN.

David,
For left and right the elevons look just like the ailerons on a conventional wing. For a right turn the right elevon goes up and the left down.

For a right turn the right elevon goes up and the left down.Elevons are what a Zagi has, and if that's what you mean then you're right. However, the control surfaces on a v-tail are "ruddervators", and they work the opposite of what you wrote.

Oops. You are correct. I gave the description for elevons NOT a V-Tail. I do mostly flying wings so I assumed incorrectly.

Sorry,
Adam
