14.2.3. Making mixer inputs switchable
Mixer switches are used when you need to be able to
activate and turn off mixer inputs using a switch. With
clever combinations of switches for the flight phases,
it is possible to switch mixer inputs off and on in in-
dividual flight phases.
Two steps are necessary in order to use a mixer
switch:
x Assign a control element
(Menu:
Setup, Assignment, Switches
Mix-1
, Mix-2 or Mix-3).
x “Attach” the mixer input to a switch
(Menu:
Setup, Mixer def., desired mixer, desired
input).
Assigning a control element for the mixer switch:
The control element for the three mixer switches can
be any of the mechanical switches G to P, the control
switches on the throttle / spoiler / collective pitch stick,
or slider E or F.
“Attaching” a mixer input to a mixer switch:
When defining mixers in the menu
Setup, Mixer def.
you can select the switches directly or reversed (in-
verted).
The following possibilities can be selected in the
”Switches” column:
Assigned
function
The mixer input is ...
ON
... always switched on
Mx1
Mx2
Mx3
... only switched on,
if the switch is at its ON position (in the case
of three-stage switches OFF / OFF / ON)
OFF
... always switched off
Mx1N
Mx2N
Mx3N
... only switched on,
if the switch is in its OFF position (in the case
of three-stage switches ON / ON / OFF)
Special case: three-position switches:
In the menu
Setup, Assignment, Switches you can
also assign three-position switches for
Mix-1, -2 or -3.
In the centre position of the switch the following
switched functions are then available:
Mx1/2/3 Centre position equates to OFF
(effect ON / OFF / OFF).
Mx1/2/3N Centre position equates to ON
(effect OFF / ON / ON).
14.3. Menu: Assignment
If you press button L to open the main menu ¡Setup,
then select and activate
Assignment, the following
menu appears (the content of the lines
Mode, As-
signment
and Name may be different).
Example:
a. Select
Mode
Stick modes (
Mode) 1 to 4 are possible.
The double arrows stand for
é Rudder, è Elevator,
and indicate which stick is used to control those
functions:
Mode Effect
1:è é
Elevator and rudder on left stick or pitch
and yaw on left stick
2: é è
Rudder left, elevator right, or
yaw left, pitch right
3: è é
Elevator left, rudder right, or
pitch left, yaw right
4: è é
Elevator and rudder on right stick, or
pitch and yaw on right stick
Aileron is assigned automatically. The unused
stick axis is generally used for throttle or spoilers
(Î 14.3.1.).
Roll is assigned automatically. The unused
stick is always assigned to collective pitch, and si-
multaneously controls the throttle via the throttle
curve.

Assignment
s 1 to 5 are possible.
At this point you select which of the five assignments
for transmitter controls and switches is to be used
to control the model. Three pre-defined lists for
POWER, GLIDER and HELI are provided.
Note: the assignment lists are “global”, i.e. any
changes you make affect all models which are set
up using the corresponding list.
c.
Name of the assignment
At this point a “descriptive” name can be entered for
the lists; it may be up to eight characters long.
