Taranis mixer settings, moderate complexity
These mixes are examples of how OpentX works
and what can be done, they are not meant for using as the amounts, servo
direction and centering may not suit your model.
flaps and V tails need setting up carefully to avoid binding and symmetry
problems. The channel numbers GVs and curves will need moving to used numbers
Try out these mixes
Brake elevator compensation adjusted with the throttle trim
This is a configuration that uses the the throttle trim to adjust the down elevator compensation used on F3X and f5j gliders
This would work for popup brakes but would need up compensation
Another line from the elevator channel gets its weight value from Channel 13 where the value of the brakes and throttle trim are combined, use your brake arming switch for this mix
Disable the throttle trim, you don't need it
As the throttle lever is pushed forwards the value of channel 13 goes to minus 100, reverse
values if you wish to pull for brakes
The amount is controlled by the curve,
The non linearity is corrected with a curve
A second line multiplies the stick value by the position of the trim lever
used as an input, a large
offset is used, this limits the value of the trim
Trim is off, decrease offset to increase this mix sensitivity, use extended
trims,
The 2nd line of the elevator gets it secondary input from channel when the brakes are armed with switch SA
Fly the model put the brakes on full, adjust the throttle trim to get the
desired pitch angle, note the elevator reading from the channel monitor,
when you land centre the throttle trim and adjust point 5 to give the same
amount of down elevator. Use half brake and set point 3 by leaving the curve open
while flying, then 2 and 4
If you use modes this trim would only be active in landing mode
Mix from Mike Shellem
Brake/elevator compensation trim on the elevator trim
When the brakes are armed the trim changes from normal elevator trim to trimming the brake compensation.
when open TX uses adjust GV with the elevator trim as a source the normal trim function is suspended
The throttle is used as a source
A curve controls it
this is multiplied by GV2 in the second mix line
Gv2 is given its value from the elevator trim
The 2nd line of the elevator gets it secondary input from channel when the brakes are armed with switch SA
The elevator trim works normally until the brake arming switch is thrown, this effects the amount of brake compensation applied
Trim your model the same as above, only set the trim with the brakes full on, use the the curve to correct mid points
This works OK on a TX but not on Companion
Variable aileron Differential, with camber and brakes
With this mix the aileron differential is increased as camber is applied, as the camber is applied the amount of down needs to be reduced, this has the effect of increasing positive yaw.
When crow braking is used, the amount of down aileron is increased to keep aileron response
The RH aileron gets its diff value from GV1, Left aileron needs minus GV1
GV1 gets its value from channel 14
Channel 14 is given a value of 50, adjust to suit your model
The left slider that applies camber increases the value of Channel 14 when the camber switch is on
This mix first reduces then reverses value of channel 14 as the brakes go on, this needs assigning to the brake switch
To obtain the correct values of diff use this mix
and adjust for best control, then delete it
You could also use the rudder trim lever to adjust the value of channel 14
giving you adjustable diff, if you disable the rudder trim on the rudder mixer
I like this mix, 100% diff drops
the nose a little and gives positive yaw, good for turning into a thermal, it is
possible to roll my Supra with full brakes deployed.
Aileron to flap mix
This is used to increase the roll authority, flaps act like ailerons
This can be a problem due to the
extreme flap geometry and needs a curve, match the diff on the curve so that
flap movement match the ailerons.
If you have calibrated linearized the flap travel you will only need diff
You could add another of these mixes to get 50% or 100% coupling, assign to a switch
Use minus weight for the second flap
You could use a 50% mix for general flying and a 100% mix for landing
