I also set-up a rex12a in a sportjet and that is a complete different ball game and so far not usable for jets!!
Somehow the assist can't handle with mixers, flight modes and maybe trims on "separate" as well.
Scenario1:
I use 3 flight modes (start-cruise-landing). On "landing mode" the flaps will go down, aileron up (crow) and elevator compensation. The "assist" sees this as "stick input" as I can see this in the "primary channel assignment" menu.
This is of course completely wrong. What happens is when in landing mode and switching assist on and off, the flight controls surfaces jumps with sticks in neutral.
Scenario2:
In menu "function assignment" I made a function "nose wheel steering" with trim control on P8. In menu "free mixes" I made a mix "rudder to nose wheel steering". When gyro off, the P8 trim works as it should be, affects only the nose wheel steering! When gyro on, the rudder is also affected when turning P8. Very very strange.
So far this is what I discovered and who knows if there a more bugs in the assist rx!
Does anyone have more luck in setting up there jet?
When you say flight controls jump when you turn the Assist on/off with in a flight mode with elevator compensation, which controls ? I would expect that if the only change is elevator compensation, then only the elevator would move. Do other controls move as well ? Does it behave properly (elevator smoothly moves to new position) if you leave the Assist on and simply select a flight modes with elevator compensation ?
As for the Nose Wheel Steering (NWS), I suspect the Assist treats all controls tied to the Yaw axis as a single function as far as stabilization goes so if the center on any control stabilized by the Yaw axis changes then all other Yaw axis controls get affected as well. If that is the case, I would think disabling stabilization on the NWS function may solve the problem with the rudder shifting with NWS trim.
I'd be curios to here more if you decide to experiment further.
