Description of helicopter mixers
To set collective pitch curves as well as the two
mixers, "Channel 1
mixers, "Channel 1
¼ Throttle" and "Channel 1 ¼
Tail rotor", there are curve mixers available in all
fl ight phases. Accordingly, these mixers also permit
the programming of non-linear mixing ratios along
the path of joystick travel, if required. Switch to the
display screen for curve settings with a brief tap
on the center

the programming of non-linear mixing ratios along
the path of joystick travel, if required. Switch to the
display screen for curve settings with a brief tap

key of the right touch pad, see
description below.
The curve is set up basically in the same way as the
Channel 1 curve for helicopters, but we will describe
it again here in detail using pitch confi guration as
an example, to save you having to leaf through the
manual.
In the remaining lines, fi rst activate the value fi eld and
then use the selection keys of the left or right touch
pad to set a mixer value in the value fi eld (inverse
video).
The settings available are rounded off with the
"Swashplate limiter" option: This option can be set to
restrict maximum defl ection of the swashplate servo
in the sense of a limiter. Together, these settings
confi gure the basic set-up of the helicopter model.

In the "Autorotation" fl ight phase as described

and therefore switched to a confi gurable default
value.
Changed parameters can be reset to their respective
default values at any time with a simultaneous tap on
