I'm fairly new to RC flying ( about one year with a lot of flying time and I'm on my fourth plane) and I'm wanting to start mixing the controls for my latest plane, a Sig Cap 231 EX .

In reading the Ultimate RC Flight Guide I've found this principle of mixing to try to achieve "pure inputs" to compensate for the idiosyncracies of various planes. Sounds like a great idea.

My question is can you do this mixing while the plane is flying or should you land the plane and then adjust things? I lost a real nice flying plane a couple weeks ago when I got distracted and I don't want to do that again. It hit so hard that it ripped the cylinder right off the crankcase of the OS 50SX . Big Bummer!

So, anyway what is the easy way to do this mixing?

Thanks a lot,

Bib Mike
