8.5. Mixers for fixed-wing model aircraft
The following sub-menus appear in the MIX menu only if you have selected the
Universal model type (UNI, U) in the SETUP menu (see 8.2.1. Sel. the model type).
8.5.1. Combi-Switch for coupled aileron and rudder
The combi-switch makes it easier to move up from rudder/elevator models to „full-
house“ control. This mixer couples ailerons and rudder, so that you only need to
operate one transmitter control in order to steer the model. Normally when this
mixer is active the aileron is the master control, and the rudder is the slave which
follows it automatically. However, for special cases the rudder can be set as the
master control. The letter in line 2 indicates which control is currently the master
(AI = QR = aileron, RD = SR = rudder).
The combi-switch mixer can be turned on and off by means of a switch.
Preparation:
• Connect a 2-position switch to socket S3 to control the combi-switch mixer.

This is how you set the Combi-Switch:

1.
Select the COMBI setting in the MIX menu
and switch to the second line
COMBI COMBI
RD SR
2.
Set the mixer e.g. rudder = master,
following rate = 25%
COMBI COMBI
RD 25% SR 25%
3.
Return to the first line
Continue as shown in the flow chart
Note:
If you set a positive value, the rudder control becomes master. Setting a negative
value causes the aileron control to assume the master function.
A following rate of 50% produces full travel of the slave function. This takes into
account the fact that more rudder than aileron is normally required when flying
with the combi-switch active.
8.5.2. V-TAIL for models with a V-tail
This mixer provides the means to control a V-tailed model without having to resort
to a complex mechanical mixer.
Preparation:
• Connect the two V-tail servos to channels 2 and 3
