heli Flight Mode menu
IMPORTANT The Revo Mixing function is not assigned directly to a Switch Position Number. It is designed for use in a
specific Flight Mode (or Flight Modes). For example, you may have programmed your gyro for Heading Hold mode in Flight
Mode N (Normal) and Rate mode in Flight Mode 1. In this case, you might program Revolution mixing only in Flight Mode 1.
Changing the Point and Rate Percentage Values
Programming the Point and Rate percentage values on a Curve allows you to achieve maximum flexibility and fine-tuning for
specific uses. The Point and Rate percentage values work together to determine the amount of rudder travel in relation to
collective pitch travel. Nine different Points with varying Rates can be programmed onto the Curve. Use the Input and Output
display, along with the graph, to help with programming visualization. The Point that is currently selected will blink.
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight MIXING, then press the ENTER key to display the MIXING menu. The REVO-MIX
sub-menu will be highlighted by default.
1) Press the ENTER key to highlight the REVO-MIX menu. The cursor will
default to POINT>5.
2) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to choose which Point you would like to
set a Rate percentage value for.
POINT setting range is 1 through 9. Point 1 is at the low end of the Curve and Point 9 is at the high end of the Curve. Point 5
is a the center of the Curve. The default Point is Point 5.
3) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight RATE>0%.
4) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to set the desired Rate percentage value.
When you program the mix Curve so that the line is straight, this results in a Linear Curve. For example, if you set the
Point 1 percentage value to -50% and the Point 9 percentage value to 50%, the rudder will move half the amount that the
collective pitch moves in both directions at any given collective control stick position.
When you change the Rate percentage value for Points 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, INH will be displayed. When you press the
YES/+ or NO/- keys, INH will change to 0%.
RATE setting range is -150% to 150%. POINT 1, 5, and 9 default Rate percentage values are 0%. The direction of rudder travel
in relation to collective pitch travel can be changed by programming positive or negative Rate percentage values.
As you change the Point and Rate percentage values, you can use the graph and I/O numbers to visualize the ratio
between collective control stick movement and rudder travel throughout the entire deflection range.
Elevator to Throttle Mixing
The Elevator to Throttle Mixing function allows you to mix a percentage of throttle control with elevator control. The Elevator to
Throttle Mixing function is typically used during 3D flying to provide a momentary burst of throttle under hard cyclic load. The
amount and the direction that the throttle travels when you move the elevator cyclic is adjusted by changing the Elevator 4 Throttle
Rate percentage value either positive or negative.
IMPORTANT The Elevator to Throttle Mixing function must be assigned to a Switch Position Number before it can be
Activated. For more information, see page 45.
