Program Mixing Conflict??

[All Thumbs]

Hypothetically, if you have a transmitter (9303) with two independant mixes, does one take priority over another??

Here's the deal:

Program mix "A") Rudder to elevator. I need up elevator with rudder input.
Program mix "B") Down elevator at idle, throttle stick to elevator.

So here's the question, if I'm completing a hammerhead and I've got full deflection rudder, the elevator is supposed to give a little up with the rudder to elevator mix. However, on the other hand, my throttle stick is at idle and is supposed to give a little down with the down elevator at idle mix.

Does anyone know what really happens (is there a priority) in a case like this?

They will both work at the same time. So if you have 1/4" of down mixed with low throttle and 1/4" of up mixed with rudder, when you move the rudder at low throttle the elevator will not move at all.

I've got a pproblem with that right now. Seems something went amiss in St. George. I noticed something wrong on landings and during the hammerheads. That's exactly what I was going to do, try it on the ground. But, while doing so and after firing everything up, I noticed one of my rudder servos bit the dust. I could move it to the right, and everything was smooth and free. However, when I tried it to the left, it would "stick" about 1/4 of the rudder thow coming back from a full throw. I shut everything down and then tried it again. This time it worked to the left through the entire throw, however the left servo went to full throw and locked!!! Digital howling and screeming came from the tail end of the plane.

I then had a couple of choices:

Mow the lawn
Finish the laundry
Replace the servo
Get on the computer and ask

You see which one I choose.

So I guess the laundry is done!

I've got an extra Servo if you need one ASAP. Its brand new

Thanks for the offer Mr. Pea.. I have one new one too. That leaves me only none spare. This locked up one's being shipped off today.

Rembeber what you said about letting other people borrow your airplane, only to get your butt kick by that certain individal? Same applies here. You could of said, "geezz John, I wish I had an extra servo I could let you borrow, but I'm just plain out right now."

Really Mr. Pea, thanks for the offer. But don't let that one wander off too far.

Servo changed.. Laundry still not done.

Chris, Shawn.. Correctamundo! Although I had more up elevator with rudder than I did for the down with throttle, you could obviously see the offsets with the mixes working in unison.

Thanks for the input.

And Sam, you've got class! Thanks again for the offer.
