MULTI-POINT MIXES – Example: FMOD to Gear Mixing (Retract and other Functions)
H-41
The example below demonstrates a Multi-Point
Program Mix for coupling the Retractable Gear function
to the Flight Mode switch so that the Gear will
automatically move up and down when moving through
the Flight modes.
This Multi-Point mix (mixes 1 and 2) will use the FMOD
(Flight Mode switch) as the Master and the Gear (or other
available auxiliary channels) as the Slave. The mix will be
activated with the Flight Mode switch.
The Mix parameters will be selected and set in the
following order: Program Mix number (1 or 2), Master
and Slave Channels, switch Selection, Set Points Travel/
Direction, and Expo. This is generally a good sequence to
follow when setting up Multi-Point Programmable Mixers.
1. Program Mix Number. Highlight and select one of the
Multi-Point Programmable Mixers (
PROG.MIX1
or
PROG.MIX2
) to obtain the first Multi-Point
Programmable Mix display. Then press
ACT
next to
CLR
or highlight and select
INH
to obtain the main
mix display. The example is using
PROG.MIX1
.
Flight Mode switch in Normal position
2. Select Master. All Programmable Mixers default
to Throttle as both the Master and the Slave
(
THRO
THRO
). The first
THRO
is the Master and
the second
THRO
represents the Slave.
Highlight and select the first
THRO
to the left of the
arrow to obtain a list of channels and select
FMOD
as the Master.
3. Select Slave. Highlight and select
THRO
to the
right of the arrow to obtain a list of channels that can
be used as the Slave. Highlight and select
GEAR
as the Slave. Now, if you move the Flight Mode or
Throttle Hold switches, you will see the vertical
cursor on the screen move to one of the 7 points for
each of the flight modes. Point 1 will be Normal,
Point 2 will be Stunt 1, Point 3 will be Stunt 2, and
Point 6 will be Throttle Hold.
