Rudder-to-Aileron/Elevator Mix Practical
Application
Rudder-to-aileron/elevator mix is designed to eliminate
unwanted rolling and pitching tendencies when rudder is
applied. To utilize this feature, first trim your aircraft for
straight and level flight. Now apply only right rudder and
note any rolling tendencies. If the airplane rolls right (pro-
verse roll), a left aileron mixing value must be pro-
grammed in Code 64. Adjust this value until no rolling
coupling occurs. Now try left rudder and adjust the left
rudder-to-aileron mix value until no rolling coupling occurs.
Now roll left to knife edge and apply right rudder and
note if the nose pitches up or down (relative to the air-
craft). Adjust the rudder-to-elevator mix value accordingly.
Roll to the opposite knife edge and do the same with left
rudder. You may find that changing the rudder-to-elevator
mix slightly affects the roll coupling and the rudder-to-
aileron value may need to be slightly changed. However,
if the model tends to pitch or roll couple in a non-linear
fashion, Code 56-58 multipoint mixing can be used.
Note: Two values (
