9. Use the arrow to go to the next menu “Mixer”.
What is a mixer?
When we say mixer, we mean when not just the basic function
(e.g. elevation) but also additional controls (e.g. throttle) can
control the servo. Example: Your model gains altitude on its
own accord when the throttle is increased. This can be com-
pensated by mixing the throttle in the elevator. The elevator
is therefore controlled by the THROTTLE and the ELEVATOR.
· Mixing in the elevator
Undesired climb/descent when operating throttle, spoilers or
aps can be compensated for. Elevation is the main input
and is controlled by the ELEVATION stick. The other three
inputs are mixed and controlled by the THROTTLE, SPOIL-
ERS and FLAPS. The result of the mix goes to the elevator.
- Select aps, spoilers or throttle
- Set the desired values using the – and + buttons or
- Tap on the middle of the value to open the character and
number eld. The current value can be deleted and a new
one entered.
· Mixing the aileron
The aileron mix is done in the same way. Here, there are
ve options:
- Aileron (aileron mix - for aileron differential)
- Elevator (aileron mix - snap ap) mixing the aileron with
harder settings acting as a braking function
- Flaps (aileron mix - aperon) use aileron as “aps”, with
the possibility of extending them upwards
- Spoilers (aileron mix - half buttery) mixing the ailerons
with the aps
- Offset (aileron offset) the current mixer values are shown
in the display.
10. Use the arrow
to go to the next menu “Control
settings”.
- Select the relevant servo/function in the top eld In the
next three elds, you can set the dual rate and exponential
values.
- Tap on the middle of the value to open the character and
number eld. The current value can be deleted and a new
one entered.
The current setting is shown on the graphic display.
Finally, press “Save”, and the menu switches to the timer
menu and you have successfully programmed your rst model.
Note on using the ight phases:
If you use or activate ight phases on the Cockpit SX7 or SX9,
you need to set the mixers for each ight phase separately,
or enter the inputs made during one ight into the other ight
phases as well (switch between ight phases with the switch
at the side).
Example: If you have programmed aileron in the aps upon
starting or during normal ight, you need to then also enter
these values for the landing ight phases as well.
