14.2. Menu Mixer def.
This menu lists all fourteen available free mixers:

2 V-TAIL+ ....
3 DELTA+ ....
4 AILERON+ ....
5 FLAP+ ....
ª6 <<MIX6>> ....
13 <<MIX13>> ....
14 <<MIX14>> ....
Mixer names consisting of up to eight characters can
be entered when the mixer is set up.
Mixers 1 to 5 are pre-defined, but can be modified in
any way you like.
Our standard for mixer names:
Capital letters with “+” suffix indicate that additional
inputs can be mixed into a basic function (e.g. Eleva-
tor).
Notes:
x The mixer definitions are “global”: changes to the
mixer definition affect all models which make use
of that mixer.
x Up to five free mixers can be used for each model
(memory).
x The free mixers are only available for fixed-wing
model aircraft.
14.2.1. Defining a free mixer
Each mixer can contain up to five inputs (transmitter
controls).
The servo travel is the sum of all mixer inputs. For this
reason we use the mathematical symbol for “sum” G
as the symbol for the mixers:
