Back Mixing
Back Mixing applies a mix to all related servos in a wing or tail
type. For example, if you select 2 AIL, 2 FLAP in the Aircraft Type
screen, a mix to one aileron channel affects both aileron servos.
The mix response, however, depends on the aileron channel
included in the mix.
A Back Mix also enables you to use fewer mixes to achieve the
desired response, for example adding roll to a split elevator.
Range Test
The Range Test function reduces the power output. This allows for
a range test to confirm the RF link is operating correctly. Perform
a range check at the beginning of each flying session to confirm
system operation.
To Access the Range Test screen:
1. With the transmitter on and the main or telemetry screen
displayed, press the scroll wheel. The Function list displays.
2. Scroll to highlight Range Test, then press the scroll wheel to
access the Range Test function.
3. With the Range Test screen displayed, push and hold the
trainer button. The screen displays Reduced Power. In this
mode the RF output is reduced allowing for an operational
range test of your system.
4. If you let go of the trainer button, the transmitter will go back
to Full Power.
IMPORTANT: Telemetry alarms are disabled during the
Range Test.
