this. DELAY in HELI is another example that slows the servo movement to the trim settings for the other
conditions.
Essentially every feature in the radio's programming is really a mix, with all assignments/programming set up
and ready to use. Additionally, the AT9 ACRO and GLID programs both provide 4 linear and 4 curve
fully-programmable mixes ( HELI provides 4 linear and 2 curve) that allow you to set up special mixes to
resolve flight difficulties, activate additional functions, etc.
Let's look quickly at a few examples that are features we've already covered. This may help to clarify the mix
types and the importance of mixes:
Additional example:
• Exponential is a preprogrammed curve mix that makes the servos' response more (+) or less (-) sensitive
around center stick (works in conjunction with dual rate, a linear mix that adjusts the total range). see
D/R,EXP,
• IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT are two OFFSET pre-programmed mixes. These tell the throttle servo, when
below a certain point, to move toward idle an additional set percentage to help close the carburetor.
• ELEV-TO-FLAP mixing is a pre-programmed linear mix to move the flaps proportionally to elevator control,
helping the model loop even tighter than it can on elevator alone.
• THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing is a curve mix (like PROG.MIX 5 to 8) for proper in-flight needle setup.
• THROTTLE DELAY mixing is a pre-programmed delay mix that slows down the response of the CH3 servo.
Next, we'll get an in-depth look at some pre-programmed mixes (mixes whose channels are predefined for
simplicity) we've not covered yet, and last, look at the fully-programmable mix types.

3.3.1 Program MIX

AT9S Pro contains four separate linear programmable mixes. (Note that mixer #5-8's mixing RATE are set
with a 5-point curve. HELI has mixer #5-6's mixing. See CURVE MIXES
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 scare you. For your first few times experimenting with mixes,
just turn on the default mixes, adjust them how you think they need to be, then use the servo screen to check
and see if you were correct. As with all functions, a sample
setup follows, step by step, to assist you.
Sample reasons to use linear programmable mixes:
• To correct bad tendencies of the MULTIROTOR (such as rolling in response to rudder input).
• To operate 2 or more servos for a single axis (such as two rudder servos).
• To automatically correct for a particular action (such as lowering elevator when flaps are lowered).
• To operate a second channel in response to movement in a first channel (such as increasing the amount of
smoke oil in response to more throttle application, but only when the smoke switch is active).
• To turn off response of a primary control in certain circumstances (such as simulating one engine flaming
-out on a twin, or throttle-assisted rudder turns, also with a twin).
