Operating the Include and Origin Mixing Functions
By touching the SEL key beneath Master, you can select from
among the Normal, Include Mixing and Origin Mixing functions.

Mixing With Trim
Whenever the Master channel is aileron, elevator, rudder or throt-
tle, you have the option of allowing the Master channel’s trim
lever to mix into the Slave channel. To activate trim mixing,
touch the SEL key. The screen shows that this has been activated
by displaying “on” below trim. You can observe the operation by
watching the Slave channel, while moving the Master channel’s
trim lever.
Note: If you have not yet entered values for the mixing percent-
ages, the Slave channel will remain stationary. Also, if the mixing
percentages are minute, the movement of the slave channel from
the trim lever is also minute.

10X MANUAL Airplane
Multi-Point Programmable Mixes
The
PCM
-10XI aircraft system features 3 multi-point pro-
grammable mixes. Each of these programmable mixes
allows up to 8 points to be selected and adjusted, includ-
ing the low and high points. An example of a practical
use for this function is as follows.
An aerobatic aircraft exhibits roll coupling with the appli-
cation of rudder in knife edge. At 50% rudder input, very
little roll coupling takes place, only 2% is required for cor-
rection. But at 75% rudder input, more roll coupling
occurs and 8% is required for correction. And at 100%
rudder, a lot of roll coupling occurs and 30% aileron cor-
rection is required to cancel out the roll coupling.
In this case, 7 total points would be needed, including
the endpoints. The graph would look something like this:
An exponential function in each of these 3 multi-point pro-
grams “smooths the curve,” eliminating abrupt servo
response at each selected point. These mixes can be
turned off or on with your choice of 8 different switch
positions, as well as at a selected throttle point. It can
also be programmed to be on at all times.
