PART 3. AT9S Pro ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS
This section will explain the functions in the advanced menu of the transmitters for different models. Before
that, I will give you a brief overview of the concept of mixing. In our common models, if the autopilot (flight
control) or other flight-assisting functional modules are not used, we will use the remote control to control the
model by connecting the steering gear directly to the receiver. That is pure manual control. The steering gear
on the model responds to the control of the remote controller. When we use one channel to control the same
type of steering surface on the aircraft, we don’t need to turn on any mixing settings. For example, a single
steering gear is connected to channel 1 to control the dual ailerons. When the wings and two servos are
connected in parallel (Y line) to control the two ailerons of the aircraft on channel 1, there is no need for mixing
settings. When the two servos are plugged into two different channels of the receiver respectively to control
the two ailerons of the aircraft at the same time, and the two servos are inserted in different channels to
control the two lifts of the aircraft at the same time, it is necessary to control the two channels connected to
the receiver without affecting the normal operation of the basic channel. Set it up so that the same joystick can
control two or more channels at the same time, to achieve mixing control.
The mixing control looks complicated, but it is the best tool to simplify the operation when used properly.
When the Y wire is used for connection, the probability of poor contact or insufficient power supply in the
servo wiring will greatly increase, which will reduce the safety factor of the aircraft. Using mixing to connect
each servo separately to the receiver channel can solve this problem well. When the elevator uses dual
steering gears, usually one forward steering gear and one reverse steering gear are used in parallel, but
when the steering gear is removed and stored, it is very troublesome to distinguish which one is forward and
backward when needed. At present, most of the forward steering gears on the market are forward steering
gears. If mixing is used, two forward steering gears can be used to separately connect the receiver channels
to control the elevators, which can save a lot of trouble.
Most of the content in this part is to introduce the mixing control function. You can choose to set up a mixing
control that is more suitable for your model according to your needs.

3.1.1 Programmable MIX
AT9S Pro contains four separate linear programmable mixes. (Note that mixer #5-8’s mixing RATE are set
with a 5-point curve. HELI has mixer #5-6's mixing. See CURVE MIXES
There are a variety of reasons you might want to use these mixes. A few are listed here. All of the adjustable
parameters are listed below, but don’t let them scare you. For your first few times experimenting with mixes,
just turn on the default mixes, adjust them how you think they need to be, then use the servo screen to check
