STANDARD PROGRAMMABLE MIXES – Example: Right Aileron with Positive Pitch
H-39
The example below demonstrates a program mix for a
heli that pulls or climbs to the left when collective pitch is
added. If a mix is set up to provide a couple of degrees of
Right aileron when positive pitch is added, the helicopter
will then climb vertically with no change in Aileron trim.
Once the throttle is advanced below mid stick, the mix
would not affect the Aileron trim unless trim in this
direction is needed and added to the mix.
This mix uses the Pitch as the Master and the Aileron as
the Slave. The mix can be turned on and off via the Flight
Mode switch, so that you can activate the mix only in the
flight modes where the trim change is noted.
The Mix parameters will be selected and set in the
following order: Program Mix number (3–6), Master and
Slave channels, Mix Position and Flight Mode. This is
generally a good sequence to follow when setting up a
Programmable Mix. In this situation, the Offset value
would remain at 0% (1/2 Stick).
