Program description: free mixers
control functions 5 … 8 for a fixed-wing model, or 5, 7
and 8 for a model helicopter, in the “
Transmitter control
settings
” menu.
“S” for switch channel
The letter “S” (switch channel) in the “
from
” column has
the effect of passing a
constant
input signal to the mixer
input, e. g. in order to apply a little extra up-elevator trim
when an aero-tow coupling is closed, as mentioned
earlier.
Once you have assigned a control function or the letter
“S” in the “from” column, an additional …
“to”
… appears at the bottom edge of the screen.
In the input field of this column you can define the
control channel
as the mixer destination, i. e. the mixer
output. At the same time additional fields appear at the
bottom line of the screen:

In this example three mixers have already been defined.
The second mixer (“Brake
el”) is already familiar to
us from the “
Fixed-wing mixers
” menu. As a general
rule you should always start by using these pre-pro-
grammed mixers if possible.
However, if you need asymmetrical mixer ratios on both
sides of centre, or have to offset the mixer neutral point,
then you should set or leave the pre-set mixers at “0”,
and program one of the free mixers instead.
Regardless of the selected model type, three linear mix-
ers are available for each of the twenty model memories,
with the additional possibility of setting up non-linear
characteristic curves.
In this first section we will concentrate on the program-
ming procedure for the first screen page. We will then
move on to the method of programming mixer ratios, as
found on the second screen page of this menu.
