Can the 9Z alter the time when a mix takes effect? Some of my scale models pitch up quite a bit several seconds
after the throttle is opened as the speed starts to rise. A conventional throttle to elevator mix kicks in the moment the throttle is open so trims down before the trim is needed a few seconds later. I program the 4000 in a way that the down trim mix does not have an effect until a few seconds after the throttle is changed and the speed has started to rise, but the up trim on closing the throttle happens much more quickly though still not instantly. This gives a much smoother flight path with throttle changes than is available with standard mixing, if the model has some considerable delay between throttle change and pitch change.
