3. Select the channel that will control the mix (called the master) by pressing the SELECT key
twice to display the channel number with the arrow above it, then by pressing the DATA
INPUT lever to select the channel number desired. The channel on the screen with the arrow
above it is now the master. In the diagram channel 1 (aileron) is the master.
4. Select the channel that will be mixed (called the slave) by pressing the SELECT key to get
the arrow below the channel number displayed, then press the DATA INPUT lever to select
the desired channel. The channel on the screen with the arrow below it is now the slave. In
the diagram channel 4 (rudder) is the slave.
5. Press the SELECT key twice to display the flashing % sign. Use the DATA INPUT lever to set
the percentage of mixing from -100% to +100% (depending on the direction and distance
you wish the slave servo to move).
6. Observe how the controls on the model respond to be certain you have achieved the correct mix and that the throws are as desired.
W.MIX Wing Mixing Type Selection
With the programmable mix (previously described) the user determines the two channels to be mixed. The wing mixing
function is another mix that may be used, but the channels mixed are predetermined. There are four different wing mixing
functions to select from:
Elevon mixing (EL)
Intended for tailless, “flying wing” models such as delta wings and flying wings, elevon mixing mixes channel 1 (aileron) to
channel 2 (elevator) allowing the elevons to operate in unison (as elevators) or in opposition (as ailerons). This function
requires that each elevon be operated by a separate servo.
To activate elevon mixing:
1. Connect the servo in the right wing to channel 2 (elevator) in the receiver and connect the
servo in the left wing to channel 1 (aileron) in the receiver.
2. Enter the programming mode and access the W.MIX menu using the MODE key.
3. Push the DATA INPUT lever until EL is displayed on the screen. Now the mixing is on. The
servo travels will be automatically reduced to 60%, but full servo throw will still be achieved
when the control stick is moved to the extremes for both servos. (The purpose for this
reduction is so that, for example, if applying full up “elevator,” there will still be servo throw
“left over” so the servos can travel yet farther when aileron is simultaneously applied.)
4. Once this mix has been activated, move the servos to their full extremes to make certain they are
not overdriving the controls. If necessary, adjust the linkages to achieve the correct control throws.

(If necessary, use the Servo
Reversing function to achieve the
correct direction of servo throws.)
