ADJUSTMENTS AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
• Activation of Programmable Mixing Circuits
1) Move the cursor to the "INH" position with
the or cursor key.
2) To activate the circuit, press the
"ON" or "OFF" will be displayed according
Mixing Rate and Direction Setting
The mixing rate setting determines the amount
of deflection of the Slave servo in relation to
movement of the Master channel control stick or
lever. Both the amount (rate) and direction (+ or
-) of movement can be set independently, either
side of the mixing point (neutral).
1) Move the cursor to the R/U or L/D position
with the
2) Set the desired rate with the
program key.
3) The servo operating direction can be changed
with the and
Mixing ON/OFF Switch Selection
Programmable Mixing can be designated as "al-
ways ON" or switched ON and OFF in flight by
any four different switches.
1) Move the cursor to the "sw" position with the
or cursor key.
2) Press the appropriate program key (
through ) for the switch selection de-
sired.
Switch assignments are designated by numbers as
shown below:
1.
Always ON
2.
ELEV.D/R Switch
3.
RUD.D/R CH9 Switch
4. IDLE UP 1 and 2 (Both switches must be ON)
5. Gear (CH5)

OFF Switch.
3) To deactivate the mixinq circuit, press the
program key.
the Master channel will be "carried over" to
the Slave channel, causing a corresponding
change in the Slave channel neutral position
when the mixing is ON. In the "Trim OFF"
mode, trim changes to the Master channel
affect the master channel only, regardless of
the mixing ON/OFF switch position.
•Trim ON/OFF selection is only relevant if the
Master is a primary control stick (AIL, ELEV,
RUD.AND THR).
Setting Method
1) Move the cursor to the "trm" position with
the or cursor key.
2) Select the "Trim ON" or "Trim OFF" mode
with the or
Offset (Rate and Direction Change Point) Setting
• Normally, the neutral (center) position of the
Master channel control stick will be the point
at which the Slave channel servo rate and direc-
tion change occurs. This control stick position
can be changed (Offset) if desired.
1) Move the cursor to the "ofs" position with
the or cursor key.
2) Move the Master channel control stick to the
desired position at which you wish rate and
direction change of the Slave channel servo to
occur. (Mixing amount = 0 Point)
3) Press the key. The Master channel stick
position is memorized and will be displayed as
a percentage in the "ofs" position of the
screen. "+" indicates a stick position to the
R/U side of neutral. "-" indicates a position
to the L/D side of neutral. "0%" indicates
that the direction will change at the normal
control stick neutral position.
