Hello All,
I've been playing with my first throttle mix and to honest will probably only build twins from now on. I'm a week away from good enough weather to maiden (Guinea Pig) and in my boredom I've figured two ways to mix. One gives me positive thrust on the outboard engine with rudder input. My other reduces thrust from the inboard engine. Problem with the first is lack of differential at full throttle, and the second is less action taxing. I'm assuming I could mix the mixes and get the best of both worlds, and I dug into the PhoenixRC model to see if I could tell how it's configured. In the sim, giving right rudder at idle (0 i should say) spins up the left engine (positive mix). With this mix I shouldn't have any thrust left at full throttle to give differential (can't add to 100%). But in the sim, it also applies negative mix to the inboard engine. I know I shouldn't be comparing to a sim, and I'm not trying to make my cheap ass radio do anything even close to this (need 2 more mixes as I can figure). I'm just curious if anyone WITH a sweet TX could explain how you'd accomplish this with your rig. Or, perhaps just somebody to call me a numbskull and lol that I don't know how... Either or would be greatly appreciated!
