Rudder-to-aileron mix: (

ACRO

GLID

) used to counteract undesirable roll (roll coupling) that happens with rudder

input, especially in knife-edge. Gives proper aileron input to counteract roll coupling when rudder is applied. Not a
pre-programmed mix. See

Rudder-to-elevator mix: used to counteract undesirable pitch (pitch coupling) with rudder input, especially in knife edge

ÀLJKW1RWDSUHSURJUDPPHGPL[6HH

Programmable mix

. This is the default programming for one curve mix in

ACRO

Rudder-to-throttle mix: (

HELI

) adds throttle to counter the added load from increasing pitch of the tail blades, maintaining

a constant head-speed with rudder. (This is a minor effect and is not critical in most helicopters.) Not a pre-programmed
mix. See
