ORIGINAL: JVB  I've got a plane set up in elevon mode.
I would like to program a switch to give me a bit of up elevator for takeoffs.
After takeoff, flip the switch and go back to normal elevator.
I can't see how to do it as some of the functions that would work apparently
are not available in elevon mode. Thanks.  

As discovered, some functions such as setting a switched Flight Condition or P.Mix for "elevator" to be
"held up/raised" during launch, are not possible whilst "Elevon" is enabled for a GP or EP Delta.

Delta (Flying Wing) Launch Mode:
For those that desire a little extra Up Elevator during launch:

1. Model Type GLID, use the launch Function (as attached).

2. Model Type ACRO (Launch Function and some other mixes are disabled)
. Select [Camber Mix] during intial setup, assign switch G then enable "On" = Launch mode,
in forward position and flip back "Off" for normal flight.
. Return to CAMB.Mix screen, set:
AILE> Normal "S" OFF (& ON)
AILE: 0% / +50%, change to ELEV screen., set:
ELEV> Normal "S" OFF (& ON)
ELEV: 0% / -50%
Tested AOK on Twinjet, adjust % as required. The A9 monitor is a good guide..


Alternatively, If not already using dual elevator rates for speed purposes, simply dial in a "high"
elevator rate for takeoff/landing and a "Low" rate for flight.
Alternatively, change the elevator dual rate switch to a three position switch as attached.
