The best thing for me about mixing is that you can make your rudder more user friendly if it has a tendency to role and pitch while using it. If your model have some of these bad habits you must now try to mix them out. Reverse ailerons mixed with rudder will cancel any rolling tendencies, ad elevator mix if it has a tendency to pitch. The goal of this exercise is to get your plane to do flat turns, with minimum input from you except rudder. Once you have done this, you will feel much more at ease when using your rudder. You will discover how handy this device can be to correct heading when approaching for landing, stall turns and wing overs will also look better. Remember although your rudder is now more user friendly it will still have a braking effect on the plane when you use it, so don’t let your airspeed go too low. This can be put to good use though, if you doing a landing approach and notice that your airspeed is too high do a few zigzags with your rudder to slow it down. Also Flying a knife edge will be much easer.
