Trim Effect on mixer output
AR
(throttle limit)
Linear, over full trim lever travel
GA
(throttle auto-
rotation)
Only effective at minimum position of the
assigned throttle limit control (CTRL 6
proportional rotary control as standard)
Switching mixers in series
As already explained on page 180, you can also
switch mixers in series: Where mixers are switched
in "sequence", the "input signal" of a control channel
already on its way to the servo "branches off" and is
directed to a further channel. In the "ty" column, select
the right angle bracket "
" – or "Tr ", if the trim should
also act simultaneously on the mixer input:

If you intend to assign a control switch (G1 … G4) as
a switch, then please note that you must defi ne this
appropriately BEFOREHAND on the "Control switch"
menu. If you do not, you will assign an undefi ned control
switch and therefore one that functions as a fi xed switch.

Including the trim
For control functions 1 … 4, you can also confi gure
things so that the trim generated by the digital trim lever
of the respective joystick affects the mixer input. In this
case, briefl y tap the center
SET key on the right touch
pad and then use the arro

The effect of the C1 trim lever on the mixer output will
depend on the function assigned to it on the "Model
type" menu (page 82), in the "Motor on C1" column for
fi xed-wing models …
Trim Effect on mixer output

Forward Only effective if C1 stick is forward
Back Only effective if C1 stick is back

helicopter models:

MIX 1
MIX 2
In this highly simplifi ed example, if mixer 2 is switched in
series, then it does not "take over" solely the transmitter
signal of control function 7 – as shown under a) – but,
instead, the entire (mixed) signal present at the servo
side of control channel 7, as shown under b). It then
directs this in accordance with its confi gured mixer ratio
forwards to control channel 8. In this case, the effect of
transmitter control "6" extends as far as output "8". This
kind of serial linkage can be extended as far as you
wish. For example, another mixer "8¼12" can be
used to route the control signal from "6" as far as output
"12", taking into consideration the associated mixer
ratios. Of course, even with an active serial link, each
separate mixer can still be controlled via the transmitter
control assigned to the mixer input. Fixed-wing and
helicopter mixers also work in the same way, when set
up to switch "in sequence".
Including phase trim
If you wish to apply the trim values of the FLAP channel
("6") or the FLAP2 channel ("9") as stored on the
"Phase trim" menu – and dependent on fl ight phase –
then fi rst tap the center
SET key on the right touch pad
and use its arrow keys to select "P":
