This menu can be used to interrupt the normal signal
flow between the input side control function and the
output side control channel, therefore the "classic"
control-to-servo connection is actually separated.
Use the potential offered by this flight phase inde-
pendent menu, particularly to keep one of the control
channels "free" in all flight phases from assignment to
a transmitter control or switch for specific flight phas-
es in the »Control adjust« menu.
Conversely of course, such a stick, transmitter control
or switch "robbed" of its servo can still be used freely

as a control in other way – indeed even in flight phase
dependence – , refer to the programming examples at
the end of this section.
A stick, transmitter control or switch robbed of its
servo by setting the channel to "MIX only" will then
namely affect mixer inputs only ...
... and the servo connected to a channel set to "MIX
only" is then also only accessible from the mixers pro-
grammed to its control channel, i. e. "(with) MIX(ers)
only".
Accordingly, for any channel set to "MIX only", you
can utilize both its control function and its control
channel entirely independently of one another for
any special functions you need; see the examples
at the end of this section. A further option provided
by a channel set to "MIX-only" status is the facility to
program timed sequences using a mixer programmed
to the same channel, and set up using the "- Time
+" option of the »Control adjust« menu; see pages
118 and 122. See page 308 for a programming
SET
example.
Basic programming procedure

way button to select the desired channel 1 to 8 (

Use the selection keys on the left or right four-way
button to select the desired channel to switch at will
between "normal" ( ) and "MIX only" ( ) modes:

generally controlled using the C1 stick. While the
HoTT transmitter
(airbrakes) servo typically connected to channel 1
is then generally absent as a rule, receiver output
1 is still not "free", since the control signal of the
brake stick is still present at this location.
Its control signal – which in this specific case is not
desired – can be decoupled from control channel
"1" to thus "free up" this channel from the C1 stick
signal by setting channel 1 to "MIX only" in the
»MIX-only channel« menu. This makes it possible
to use control channel "1", together with receiver
connection "1", at any time for other purposes, via
freely-programmable mixers – e. g. to connect up a
speed controller.
