2->6 — Elevator -> Flap Mixing
Elevator-to-flap mixing makes the flaps drop or rise whenever you pull on the elevator
stick. It is used to make tighter “pylon” turns or squarer corners in maneuvers. Elevator-to-flap
mixing is set up so that the flaps droop (are lowered) when up elevator is commanded.
DOWN flap or
flaperon
UP elevator
Notice that this mixing function works with the flaperon setting. If flaperon mixing
(
FLPR) AND 2->6 mixing are activated, when you pull up elevator, BOTH ailerons will droop.
Setting Up 2 -> 6 Mixing
1. Press one of the MODE SELECT buttons until the 2->6 window appears.
The default is for the function to be inhibited. To activate, press the
CURSOR key, then press the (+) DATA INPUT key. This will cause the
flashing INH display to change to a flashing ON display.
2. Check the direction the flaps move: with up elevator, the flaps should droop downwards, and
for down elevator they should come up. In other words, they should move opposite the
elevator motion. Press the CURSOR key to get the large plus or minus sign in front of the
number flashing, then press the (+) or (–) DATA INPUT keys to get the direction correct.
3. Now hit the CURSOR key again to get to the mixing rate setting. Now the little Percent sign
will flash. You can use the (+) and (–) DATA INPUT keys to increase or decrease the amount
of mixing over or under the default 50% (pressing both DATA INPUT keys resets this number
to 50%). You should probably start with a smaller number (say 20% or so) and slowly
increase it to learn how the model reacts.
PMX1, PMX2 — Programmable Mixes 1 & 2
Your T6XAs/XHs system contains two separate programmable mixers (PMXI and PMX2)
with unique capabilities. You may use mixing to correct unwanted tendencies of the aircraft
during aerobatics. Each one of these mixers may be programmed to do things that are not built-
in programs. This makes them useful for all sorts of different things.
The elevator dual-rate switch in its down position turns on the mixers (if they’ve been
activated). The method to be used to program mixers is given for Mixer #1, but the other mixer
may be programmed in an identical fashion.
You can use both PMXs to create a custom dual elevator function, where you use two
servos for your elevator control, one for each side. Or you may also use the mixers for
correcting unwanted flying tendencies, like automatically applying a bit of rudder with throttle to
account for torque/P-factor effects, to a corrective elevator motion during knife-edge flight to
