24 EXTRA MIXER REVIEW

Overview of the extra mixer menu screen

In order to meet the demands of user’s individual requirements to accomplish model customization, the user
can customize the mixer setting to achieve configurations beyond the present transmitter mixes.

The user can edit 32 mixers in total from MIXER1 to MIXER32 and switch to different mixers through PgUp
and PgDn. The first four mixers are named AIL, ELE, THR and RUD by default and the user can change
names of each mixer. Each mixer can be considered as one channel, however there is no sequence
differences among all of them. The detailed output sequence is determined by mixer of corresponding
channels in output map.

Place the cursor to EDIT and press ok to enter the modification interface of each mixer and then press ok
after modification to save. Place the cursor to the following mixer list and the first slot in the list will light up.
At this time press ok to select slot and switch to different slots through ENTER and press ok again and an
operation box will pop up for edit, create and delete.
Edit: Edit the currently selected slot.
Create: Create a new slot below the selected one.
Delete: Delete the currently selected slot.

The interface is about some basic settings of the slot, which from the top to the bottom are
ENABLE - control the effectiveness of the mixer; SRC – the control source of the slot; SW - enable switch;
METHROD- algorithm of mixer control and FLIGHT CON- flight mode. The flight mode and SW has a
relationship of “and”, which means the slot will take effect and participate in the algorithm of mixer control
only when the switch is on and it is in corresponding flight mode. If the option of “SW” is “-“, it means on by
default.

 The second interface is for the setting of coefficient (i.e. rate) when participating in the algorithm of mixer
control. Separate setting shall be done divided into two parts at the midpoint of the control source and five
different coefficients can be set in total. The user can configure switches for these five coefficients for on or
being effective when entering a certain flight mode (SW and FLIGHT CON have a relationship of “or”.).
When several coefficients take effect, algorithm shall be executed based on w5 with top priority and w1
lowest.

Overview of the swash ring menu screen

Shown on the illustration above is an example of the “AIL DIFF” menu, to enter this menu press the “MDL”
button, then select “AIL DIFF”. Here the user can adjust the travel range of each roll direction. Up to 4
aileron channels can be programmed, to a range from -100 to +100. On wings without a symmetrical air foil,
identical opposite aileron deflection will results in an uneven increase of drag and a reduction of lift, this due
to the uneven aerofoil shape created after the movement of the control surfaces. This will lead to (unwanted)
coupling, and can be reduced by programming aileron differential (uneven aileron deflection) to equalize the
drag numbers and reduce the loss of lift. When in a banked corner, the lower wing aileron deflection is set
up to deflect less than the upper wing. When using glider type the settings can be assigned individually to
the five available glider “FLIGHT MODES”.
“AIL1-4” : Represent the 4 available aileron channels.

“LEFT-RIGHT” : Allows setting up the aileron differential.

CAUTION: Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to flight control related mixes.

CAUTION: Beware of the lift bleeding effect (when using a negative setting) during high speed exit out of a
dive, as the reduced/reversed lift will make the airplane slip (drift), this may result in a high speed collision with
the ground.

CAUTION: Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to flight control related mixes.
Pay close attention to surface travel near and at the endpoints, incorrect endpoint setup will cause the mix to
stop working as intended.

Overview of the camberflap->elevator 1/2 menu screen

The illustration above is an example of the “CMBRFLP-ELE” mix menu, to enter this menu press the “MDL”
button, then select “CMBRFLP-ELE”. Here the user can mix elevator with flaps to compensate for coupling
than may be generated on certain airplane/glider configurations, and assign it to a switch. To enable
changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the
screen. On some airplanes (depending on layout, aerofoil type, etc.) a coupling moment on the elevator
(pitch) axis is generated when applying aileron, this due to the differential of frontal drag numbers generated
by the difference in the resulting aerofoil shapes (comparing LH and RH wing). To counter this some elevator
can be mixed in, to reduce the work load of the pilot. The mix can be separately programed for each
deflection direction, and on models fitted with two elevator surfaces/halves.
