The mix can be set to activate on numerous switched ranging from the flight
mode switch to the timer switch.
Butterfly Mix
Butterfly mixing, otherwise known as crow mixing, allows the spoiler (throttle)
stick to activate the model’s trailing edge controls as an airbrake when landing. It
also allows mixing of elevator to overcome any pitch changes caused by the
activation of the spoilers. Spoiler offset determines the activation point.
Program Mix
The PCM9X offers six (6) programmable mixes to be used for a number of
different purposes. The function allows mixing any one channel to any other
channel. The mix can remain ON at all times, or be switched OFF in flight
using a number of different switches. Each channel is identified by a four
character name (i.e., Aileron - AILE, Elevator - ELEV, etc.). The channel
appearing first is known as the “master channel”. The second channel is
known as the “slave channel”. For example, AILE -> RUDD would indicate
aileron to rudder mixing — each time the aileron stick is moved, the aileron
will deflect, and the rudder will automatically move in the direction and to the
value input. Mixing is proportional, so small inputs of the master channel will
produce small outputs of the slave channel. The mix can remain permanently
on, or be activated and deactivated by a selection of switches. In addition, the
mix can be activated/deactivated at a pre-selected throttle stick position
anywhere between 0% and 100% of the movement.
Multi-Point Programmable Mixing (Mixers 1 and 2)
Programmable mixes 1 and 2 have the capability for multi-point
programmable mixing. The graphic mixing curve, located on the right side of
your screen, indicates the mixing curve selected and is a useful reference tool
when adjusting or storing points. Up to 7 points can be stored, and these
