FUTABA 10CAP - LINEAR PROGRAMMABLE MIXES (PROG.MIX1-4)

68
LINEAR PROGRAMMABLE MIXES (
PROG.MIX1-4
):
Sample reasons to use linear programmable mixes:
• To correct bad tendencies of the aircraft (such as rolling in response to rudder input).
• To operate 2 or more servos for a single axis (such as two rudder servos).

Adjustability:
• Defaults: The 4 programmable mixes default to the most frequently used mixes for simplicity. If you want to use one of
these mixes, simply select that mix number so that the master and slave servos are already selected for you.

•Channels available to mix: All four mixes may use any combination of CH1-8. (CH9-10 are not proportional and cannot
be mixed.) Offset and dials may also be set to the master channels. (see below.)
•Master: the controlling channel. The channel whose movement is followed by the slave channel.
•Another channel: Most mixes follow a control channel. (Ex: rudder-to-ailerons, 25%, no switch, corrects roll
coupling.)

Dial as master: To directly effect one servo’s position by moving a dial, set the master as the desired dial.
(Ex: create a second throttle trim on left slider.)

•Slave: the controlled channel. The channel that is moved automatically in response to the movement of the master
channel. The second channel in a mix’s name (i.e. aileron-to-rudder).
•Link: link this programmable mix with other mixes.

Your 10C contains four separate linear programmable mixes. (Note that mixer
#5-8’s mixing
RATEs
are set with a 5-point curve.
HELI
has mixer #5-6's mixing.
see CURVE MIXES, p. 71.)
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

screen to check and see if you were correct. As with all functions, a sample
setup follows, step by step, to assist you.
