Dual mixers
Same-sense/opposite-sense mixing of two control channels
This option is available on the mc-20
HoTT transmitter only.

four-way button to scroll to the »Dual mi-
xers« menu option in the Multi-function menu:

… a same-sense “ ” and an opposite-sense “
” control function, although they permit any channel
to be used and offer differential travel for the opposing
function.
Important notice:
Since the same and opposite sense inuenc-
es of the given input on the two servos or rud-
der aps – coupled to one another by the dual
mixer – are determined by, among other things, their
installation situa tion and the direction of rotation
specied in the »Servo adjustment« menu, the sym-
bols “ ” and “ ” are to be perceived more as
synonyms rather than as consistently appropriate def-
initions! Accordingly, if wing aps are deected in the
wrong direction, simply swap the two inputs or use
the “servo reverse” option in the »Servo adjust-
ment« menu; see page 106.
In the software, the V-tail mixer already mentioned is
supplemented by other “dual mixers” for realization of
the two aileron servos on receiver outputs 2 and 5 and
for the flap pairs on outputs 6 and 7, possibly also 9
and 10. These are activated via the aileron stick and
the transmitter control that has been assigned to input
“6” on the »Control adjust« menu.
In the same way, the four freely-programmable dual
mixers on this menu can be used to couple two further
control functions, a feature that would otherwise only
be possible with time-consuming programming of free
mixers.
Here, we will use a “V-tail with rudder differential” as
our example to explain the programming of a dual
mixer (see also the examples on page 298):
Use the Select buttons of the left or right-hand four-
way button to select the column you wish to access.
Press the central SET button of the right-hand four-
way button to activate the Value field, and then set the
desired value using the Select buttons:

Dual mixer
In the dual mixer shown in our example the two servos
connected to receiver outputs 3 and 4 move in the
same or opposite direction depending on the direction
of movement of the associated stick, and thus operate
as elevators or rudders. The differentiation, according
to dual mixer configuration, is only effective for rudder
activation.
In this case, both corresponding trim lever are effective.
No additional free mixers are required for this arrange-
ment.
