[RCSE] 9303 aileron to rudder coupling

2008-06-04 Thread chris
I am trying to set up my 9303 to turn off the aileron rudder coupling
via the right back Mix switch. I have been unable to locate the setup as
I had on my 8103.  Can some help with a pointer on how to do it?

Thanks
Chris

Some old habits don't go away... Normally aileron to rudder coupling is 
set up by flight mode.   Flight modes make it possible to have more than 
two mixes.  In fact for aileron to rudder, you should set the mix to 
100% in launch mode in case you forget to use the correct stick.


My suggestion if you want on/off mixing would be to use one of the 
programmable mixers.  Configure aileron to rudder.  Have the mix switch 
change you to position 1.  Set the aileron to rudder mix rates you want 
for position 0 and then leave the mixes for position 1 at 0.   In 
reality you probably don't want to go to 0, just a very low value.  So 
you could set position 1 to some small numbers like 6 or 7.

Mike, you are quite right, old habits.

I was trying to use the Aileron to Rudder standard mix rather than using
a separate programming mix.  I guess I have to set the pre-programmed
mix to 0 and go to the programmed mix.

I use on/off on my DLG so I can practice rudder with my left thumb.  I
prefer coupling, but I wanted to see a good roll with a new DLG just
built.  I set my rudder up exponentially, so that my rudder kicks in
fast before the aileron takes over.  I like more top-rudder ( believe
that is what that is).  I found recently I was cross-coupling the
aileron and rudder for flatter turns.  My old habits go back to just
rudder elevator on planes with more dihedral.

Thanks for the help.

Chris

Or, you could try and use one of the flight modes as 0 rudder mix.  
Don't know if you use all 5 or have switches set so that you could use 
all fo them.
