I want to create a mix which is only active if my throttle is above a certain point. For example, I
only want my smoke to come on if my throttle is above 1/2 to avoid killing the engine. How can I
do this?
You will use an offset mix with the throttle stick as the on/off trigger rather than a switch. Select a
blank pmix (PMX), and mix channel A to channel B. Set up your mix as desired. From the switch
screen, go to stick screen, and select stick J3 – – the throttle stick. Then set the position – – place the
throttle stick in the desired position and press the set key. Now, if you want the mix active ABOVE
this stick position, it’s set; if you want it BELOW this stick position, press +/- to reverse its active
direction.
THIRD OPTION: “Using Conditions. “I want other changes with the engine set-ups.”
Servo Set-up:
channel 3 = left throttle
channel 7 = right throttle
Turn off ch. 7 assignment so it operates
only from mixes.
Open Function (FNC), Set Aux1 Null, and Close.

Complete Switch C center position by writing
mixes for the second engine’s control. Note
that the pmix (PMX) you created in condition 1
is not in this condition.
You can now set up anything else you also want when in this condition...gear position, other mixes, etc. REMEMBER you MUST have the switch in the
position of the condition you desire to adjust.
Set up anything else desired when switch C is down. Need opposite rudder to compensate for yaw? Use an offset mix. Want to drop bombs?
Now is the time to set up these additional features and enjoy the 9Z’s power!

Set up a pmix (PMX) to move smoke servo

above a given point. Smoke will not come on
