Default RE: aerobird V tail or rudder/elevators?

Hitec Focus III FM transmitter (3 Channel 72 mHz) Servo Reverse Channels 1 and 2, Internal Mixing for Elevon or V-Tail (CH's 1 & 2) What's all this mean?
Elevon or V-tail mixing is for planes that do not have traditional Rudder/Elevator setup. Such as the V-tail planes from HobbyZone(proprietary radios...won't work with Hitech equip.) and the T-hawk and EasyStar planes. The Elevon reference would be for flying wings such as a Zagi plane. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this one.

Again though, I do have reservations about getting a 3ch radio that you won't be able to use in 4ch planes with ailerons @ a later date. And if you have as much fun with that SS as I think you will...you probably will want to start playing with Ailerons sooner or later. Just something to keep in mind.......
