P-Mix Features; What Are The Various Mix Types? When Would I Use Them?; Linear Mixes; Offset Mixes - FUTABA 9Z WC2 Getting To Know Manual

What are the various Mix Types? When would I use them?

Linear mixes: Linear mixes are proportional to the movement of the master channel. For
Offset mixes: Offset mixes move the slave channel a preset distance when the mix is
Hovering-type mixes: Hovering mixes are designed to fine tune another mix around the center stick
Curve mixes: Curve mixes are similar to linear mixes but have 7 adjustable points along the
Control mixes: Control mixes are linear mixes which have the volume of the mix adjusted by
What does the programmable mix "trim" feature do?
With trims inhibited, the second servo is not trimmed when the first servo is trimmed. For example, a
rudder-to-elevator mix would not want the mix trim active because then adjusting your rudder trim
would also automatically adjust your elevator trim! Conversely, when 2 servos are being used to
operate one surface or one axis, such as twin elevator servos or twin rudder servos, then having the
trim feature active is critical to be able to trim the aircraft in flight.
What is "master mixed" mode?
"Master Mixed" means the mix refers to the master channel's AFR (high rate) or D/R (low rate)
currently active. For example, we have two rudder servos mixed to operate a single giant scale
rudder. Rudder AFR is set to 80% and Rudder D/R is set to 60%. With master mix mode ON and

(F-E) mixes are all Linear Mixes.
activated, rather than moving it proportionally. For example, full smoke on

of the primary control. That is, the slave channel has maximum input when
the master channel is centered, and becomes gradually less as the master
channel control input increases in either direction. For an example of using
hovering mix to fine tune another mix, see "hovering throttle" and "hovering
pitch" in the glossary.

throttle mix on a 7 point curve.
the motion of an additional channel. For example, the amount of rudder-to-
aileron (R-A) mix needed to counteract roll coupling may vary based upon
throttle position. Rather than setting a mix which is right for one throttle
setting and fighting the mix at other settings, a control mix allows 7 separate
mix amounts ("volumes") to be set based upon 7 stick positions of the control
channel.
