Swash Mixing
The swash mix function is used to correct the
swash plate in the aileron (roll) direction and
elevator (cyclic pitch) corresponding to each
operation of each condition.
Adjustment by independent curve for aileron,
elevator, and pitch operations is possible. The
operation can be smoothly adjusted by calling up
the “Curve setup” screen by touching the button
that corresponds to the mixing and direction which
needs correction.
Example of use
● As an example, use swash mixing to correct
undesirable tendencies in the roll direction
● For a condition which uses AIL to ELE, set this
function to ON. When raising the nose at a
right roll, when the Rate B side is input and
the right aileron is operated, the elevator
moves to the down side. Tune by adjusting
the Rate. For right roll, adjust to the Rate A
side.
● Return to Model Menu
