Trim Include
Programmable mixes allow any channel to be mixed to
any other channel or to itself. Popular programmable
mixes include rudder to steerable nose wheel, dual rudder
mix, dual elevator mix, rudder to aileron and rudder to
elevator mix for knife edge correction.
With the Elevator to Flap mix screen displayed, rotate the
roller to highlight Ele > Flp then press the roller. Now rotate
the roller to select programmable Mix, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
and press the roller. The Mix screen appears.
The offset function establishes the point at which the two
mix rates converge. Typically this rate is center or 0%. If
an offset is needed do the following:
Rotate the roller to highlight Offset then press the roller to
highlight the Offset rate. Rotate the roller to adjust the
value. Positive + and negative - values are available
shifting the offset in either direction. Press the roller to
accept the offset value.
The trim include function applies trim to the slave channel
when the master channel you select is a channel that has
trim (throttle, aileron, elevator and rudder). Typically, this is
used when more than one channel is used to operate a
primary control surface (dual rudder servos, etc.) With trim
include activated, the master channel’s trim affects the
master and slave channels.
Activating Trim Include
Rotate the roller to highlight Trim. Press the roller to toggle
between INH and ACT.
The AH6T offers eight mixes in helicopter model type. You
can program a cyclic-to-throttle mix to advance the throttle
when aileron, elevator and or rudder inputs are given. This
prevents rpm decay during cyclic and rudder inputs. A
Swashplate Mix mixes Aileron to Elevator and Elevator to
Aileron to adjust swashplate timing. Six programmable
mixes allow the mixing of any channel to any other channel.
You can assign Mixes to activate in various flight modes as
well as with the gear switch. Programmable mixes include a
trim offset function that adjusts the mix crossover point and
a trim include function that applies the master’s trim to the
slave channel.
Rotate the roller to highlight Mixing then press. The
following screen appears:
Cyclic-to-Throttle Mix
Cyclic-to-throttle mix prevents rpm decay when aileron,
elevator and or rudder inputs are given. This mix advances
the throttle position with cyclic or rudder control to maintain
rpm. At full throttle, programming prevents the throttle from
overdriving the servo.
Important: When using a governor, Cyclic to throttle mix is
not recommended.
Adjusting Swashplate Rates
Rotate the roller to highlight the desired rate then press.
Rotate the roller to adjust the value. You can reverse the
direction of the slave channel with positive + and negative –
values. Adjust the rate for all desired Swashplate values.
Adjusting Cyclic Mix Rates
To verify that Cyclic mix is working properly and in the
correct direction, place the flight mode switch in one of the
active positions. Move the programmed cyclic or rudder
channel noting the throttle position. The throttle position
should increase. If it decreases then the opposite value
(positive vs. negative) is needed.
