STANDARD PROGRAMMABLE MIXES – Example: Right Aileron with Positive Pitch (continued)
H-40
2. Select Master. All Programmable Mixers default
to Throttle as both the Master and the Slave
(THROTHRO). The first THRO is the Master and
the 2nd THRO represents the Slave. Since the Pitch
is to be the Master in this example, highlight the first
channel with the Selector and select PIT to the left of
the arrow.
3. Select Slave. Highlight and select THRO to the right of
the arrow to obtain a list of channels that can be used
as the Slave. Highlight and select AILE as the Slave.
4. Select Position and Flight Modes. Move the Selector
to highlight each of the active flight modes (NRM, ST1,
ST2, ST3, ST4, GER, and then select the mix position
(0 or 1) to be used. Since we will set the mix value in
position 0, and flight modes where the mix would not
be required would be set to the POS 1 mix position
(will be left at 0%).
The number will change from 0 to 1 as the switch is
moved back and forth. When the number is 0, the mixer
is looking at the Pos0 values (not programmed yet) and
when it is a 1 it is looking at the Pos1 values (also not
programmed yet). For this example, we will assume that
this mix will be used in Stunt Modes 1 and 2 only.
5. Travel and Direction. Highlight Pos0 with the Selector
and Press to access the values. Move the throttle
stick to the full high position and the upper value next
to Pos0 should be highlighted. Set the higher Pos0
parameter to a low negative or positive value (check
aileron function for proper direction) to a starting
value of between 3% and 5%. This is the amount of
deflection of the Aileron (Slave channel) that is to
occur when the mixer is turned on and the throttle is
moved from center to full throttle.
If an Aileron mixing value is also required for center stick
to low Pitch, move the throttle stick to the low position.
The lower Pos0 mix value will then be highlighted and
can be adjusted as needed.
6. Offset. Leave the offset value to 0% for this mix, and
0% will correspond to the center stick position.
7. Verify Proper Mix Operation. Move the Flight Model
switch to the Stunt 1 or Stunt 2 positions, and move
the Throttle stick from center to full throttle, and from
center stick to low throttle. If the mix is activated and
functioning properly, you should see a slight aileron
servo movement (easiest to see at the aileron servo
arm) when the throttle stick is moved. Please verify that
the Aileron servo is moving in the desired direction
to correct the trim problem at this time. Next, switch
the Flight Mode switch to the Normal or Throttle Hold
positions (set to off in this example), and verify that the
mix is being turned off for these desired flight modes.
