LINEAR PROGRAMMABLE MIXES (PROG.MIX1-4):

Sample reasons to use linear programmable mixes:
• To correct bad tendencies of the aircraft (such as rolling in response to rudder input).
• To operate 2 or more servos for a single axis (such as two rudder servos).

or throttle-assisted rudder turns, also with a twin).

Adjustability:
• Defaults: The 4 programmable mixes default to the most frequently used mixes for simplicity. If you want to use one of

these mixes, simply select that mix number so that the master and slave servos are already selected for you.

• PROG.MIX1 aileron-to-rudder for coordinated turns
• PROG.MIX2

• PROG.MIX3

• PROG.MIX4 throttle-to-rudder ground handling compensation

Channels available to mix: All four mixes may use any combination of CH1-8. (CH9-10 are not proportional and cannot

be mixed.) Offset and dials may also be set to the master channels. (see below.)

Master: the controlling channel. The channel whose movement is followed by the slave channel.

Another channel: Most mixes follow a control channel. (Ex: rudder-to-ailerons, 25%, no switch, corrects roll

coupling.)

Slave: the controlled channel. The channel that is moved automatically in response to the movement of the master

channel. The second channel in a mix’s name (i.e. aileron-to-rudder).

Your 10CG contains four separate linear programmable mixes. (Note that mixer
#5-8’s mixing RATEs are set with a 5-point curve. HELI has mixer #5-6's mixing.
see CURVE MIXES, p. 71.)

There are a variety of reasons you might want to use these mixes. A few are
listed here. All of the adjustable parameters are listed below, but don’t let them

default mixes, adjust them how you think they need to be, then use the servo
screen to check and see if you were correct. As with all functions, a sample
setup follows, step by step, to assist you.
