A-41
The 12X features a preprogrammed Aileron-to-Rudder mix. This
mix causes the Rudder to deflect when the Ailerons are moved.
This is useful for some types of aircraft that have adverse yaw,
(right aileron results in a left yaw). By programming aileron
to rudder mix in the same direction the airplane will make
coordinated turns using ailerons only.
1. Highlight and select AIL
RUD M in the FUNC.LIST to
obtain the Aileron-to-Rudder mix display.
2. There are 2 sets of mixing values available – Pos0 and
Pos1. If the Pos0 values are left at 0% then the mixer may
be turned on and off – Pos0 would be off and Pos1 would
be on (this can be reversed by leaving the Pos1 values at
zero and putting values into Pos0). Highlight and select L
next to Pos1 and set the value to give the desired amount of
Left Rudder. A negative value will reverse the direction.
3. Highlight and select R next to Pos1 and set the value to
give the desired amount of Right Rudder. A negative value
will reverse the direction.

4. Scroll down to the bottom line of the display to select the
Flight Mode and/or switch(s) that is to be used to turn
the mixer on and off. The example below shows Flight
Mode 2 set to Pos1, turning on the Aileron-to-Rudder mix.
The throttle may also be used to turn the mixer on and
off by highlighting and selecting THRO STK and setting
the percentage of throttle to the point where the mixer is
switched on/off.
Note
: The Pos0 values can also be set to something other
than zero causing a different amount of Rudder deflection
to occur when there is Aileron input. One or more switches
can then be selected to switch between the two sets of
values. With this setup there will always be some mixing,
as indicated by either Pos0 or Pos1, and the mixing
cannot be turned off.
