EXAMPLE 1. Fig. 69. AILERON -> RUDDER MIXING
• This function is sometimes referred to as"CAR" (Coupled Ailerons and Rudder) and is useful on sailplanes
and certain scale models where aileron and rudder must be used together for coordinated turns.
EXAMPLE 2. Fig. 70.
•Programmed Mixing can be used to correct an
unwanted UP or DOWN pitch movement of the
aircraft when Rudder is during knife edge and
rolling maneuvers.
Set the Mixing Board as shown in Fig. 70 to
provide mixing from Rudder -> Elevator.
Use Trimmers 11 and 12 to adjust the desired
amount and direction of Elevator compensation
when Rudder is applied in both Left and Right
directions.
EXAMPLES. Fig.71.
EXAMPLE 4.
•An unwanted Left or Right Yaw tendency during pull ups can be adjusted by setting the mixing panel
for Elevator to Rudder mixing (Elevator CH2 is the Master channel).
Connector 4 designates the Master channel
and is set vertically at the CH1 (Aileron) posi-
tion.
Connector 13 designates the Slave channel and
is set vertically at the CH4 (Rudder) position.
Set Switch 30 to P. MIX if it is desired to turn
the mix function ON and OFF in flight. Other-
wise, it will remain ON and Control Switch 16
is available for use as the Rudder Dual Rate
ON/OFF Switch.
NOTE: If Switch 16 is used as the P. MIX ON/
OFF Switch, Rudder Dual Rate cannot be
switched manually, but Auto Dual Rate Rudder
can still be used.
Use Trimmers 11 and 12 to set the amount
and direction of desired Rudder movement
Fig. 69
when the Aileron stick is deflected.
• Certain aircraft such as scale models with large
dihedral or stunt aircraft with incorrect dihedral
may exhibit an unwanted rolling tendency when
Rudder is applied (as opposed to a pure Yaw
motion). This can cause variations in the roll rate
during slow rolls and/or a "roll out" tendency
during point rolls and knife edge maneuvers.
This can be corrected with Programmed Mixing.
Set the mixing panel as in Fig. 71 to provide
mixing from Rudder to Aileron.
Trimmers 11 and 12 can be adjusted so that a
Fig. 71
small amount of corrective Aileron is automati-
cally applied with Rudder movement. Both
directions of Rudder movement can be adjusted
for.
