EXAMPLE 1. Fig. 69. AILERON -> RUDDER MIXING

• This function is sometimes referred to as"CAR" (Coupled Ailerons and Rudder) and is useful on sailplanes

and certain scale models where aileron and rudder must be used together for coordinated turns.

Connector 4 designates the Master channel

and is set vertically at the CH1 (Aileron) posi-

tion.

Connector

designates the Slave channel

and

is set vertically at the CH4 (Rudder) position.

Set Switch

30 to P. MIX

if it is desired to

turn

the mix function ON and OFF in flight. Other-

wise, it will remain ON and Control Switch 16

is available for

use as the Rudder Dual Rate

ON/OFF Switch.

NOTE: If Switch

is used as the P. MIX ON/

OFF Switch, Rudder Dual Rate cannot be

switched manually, but Auto Dual Rate Rudder

can still be used.

Use Trimmers 11 and 12 to set the amount

and direction of desired Rudder movement

when the Aileron stick is deflected.

Fig. 69

EXAMPLE 2. Fig. 70.

•Programmed Mixing can be used to correct an

unwanted UP or DOWN pitch movement of the

aircraft when Rudder is during knife edge and

rolling maneuvers.

Set the Mixing Board as shown in Fig. 70 to

provide mixing from Rudder -> Elevator.

Use Trimmers 11 and 12 to adjust the desired

amount and direction of Elevator compensation

when Rudder is applied in both Left and Right

directions.

EXAMPLES. Fig.71.

Fig.

•

Certain

aircraft

such

scale

models

with

large

dihedral or stunt aircraft with incorrect dihedral

may exhibit an unwanted rolling tendency when

Rudder is applied (as opposed to a pure Yaw

motion). This can cause variations in the roll rate

during

slow

rolls

and/or

"roll

out"

tendency

during point rolls and knife edge maneuvers.

This can be corrected with Programmed Mixing.

Set the mixing panel as in Fig. 71 to provide

mixing from Rudder to Aileron.

Trimmers 11 and 12 can be adjusted so that a

small amount of corrective Aileron is automati-

cally applied with Rudder movement. Both

directions of Rudder movement can be adjusted

for.

Fig.

EXAMPLE 4.

•An unwanted Left or Right Yaw tendency during pull ups can be adjusted by setting the mixing panel

for Elevator to Rudder mixing (Elevator CH2 is the Master channel).
