Am new to the Taranis, desperately need to set up a model with V-tail and crow braking using throttle to activate the crow, no switches. Please can anybody help.

How many servos in your wing? I assume four?

Yes, four servos in wing.

Right.

Attached is a file containing the basics of two standard glider setups.

CrowVTail - Crow, Snapflap, Camber Control, VTail
CrowTTail - Crow, Snapflap, Camber Control

General info as follows:

-
The config is relatively straight forward - So 4 servo wings, rudder, elevator.

Now.. you will need to pay attention to a few things I have done as part of my pre-setup. This helps reduce mix count and makes things simpler to work with.

You will note that I have used high channel mixing to my advantage.

=== CH13 ===
This is a mix that I have called 'neutral'. You will note that is uses the source of MAX @ 0%.

The reason I have done this is to allow me a single source in which I can control the entire wing planform. So all up/down at the same time. It garuantees me a solid neutral point.

You will note that the first mix on CH3-6 is the source of CH13, with the direction of travel sorted out.

The result of this approach is that I can add snap flap and camber to CH13. Everything else just slaves off this so the exact camber/values are easy to manage.

=== CH10 ===
This is not really needed, but I find it usefull for example and personal ease of programing.

You will note that CH10 is simply taking the AIL input.
CH3-6 simply take this input, and use it to provide a master total mix of 100%.

On channel 3-6 I then adjust the weight to suit my servo configs so that the trailing edges stay together when the ailerons and flaps move.

=== CH15 ===
Note that this mix has a compensation value on it for the V-Tail. Simply adjust to suit your model. It allows you to vary the amount of pitch that occurs when rudder is applied!

Hope this helps.

Try downloading from here: (http://www.er9x.com/)
Eepe/eepskye (revision 422)
click on: "eepe and eepskye for Windows"
Then "Save File" and then go to where file is saved.

Note: I do not get it as a zip file.

Just click on "eePeInstall" to install.

That file is for openTx, you would need to open it in companion to see what the settings are.

It's also 5 years old, so very possible it breaks with current versions.

Thanks for the help
Downloaded Companion to open Robs file and deciphered his mix (some messages about old versions - but I ignored these)
Now I need to work on transferring this to ErSky (9Xtreme)
many thanks guys - keep up the good work
