Spektrum offset feature

[Sired by Fire]

I was wondering if someone could explain the offset feature in the programmable mixes, what is it for and how can it help my mixes?

Since Spektrum uses JR programming, I'm assuming it's the same as in JR radios...

For a given mix, you have two values (say, for left rudder and right rudder stick command). By default (offset=0), the switch between these mix values occurs at the midpoint of the stick travel. Making the offset nonzero basically moves the transition point between the two mix values away from the midpoint. You can test for yourself by making the mix value 0 in one direction, altering the offset, and then watching where the mix actually kicks in.

I use the offset when programming downline mixes, so the thro->elev only comes on below about 2 or 3 clicks of throttle (as outlined in one of my 9303 setup articles: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Articles...ArticleID=1430)

Hope this helps!
