Elevator to flap mix
I've been reading a lot about mixes and I'm a little confused on how it should work. What is the correct way to set up this mix:
Elevator up _/ flaps up __/
or
Elevator up _/ flaps down -\
Thanks
Elevator up _/ flaps up __/
or
Elevator up _/ flaps down -\
Thanks

Take the time to read through several "Set-Up" forums generally in the pattern forums and try to commit to memory. Usilng spoileron generally will help wih 3D-elevators-reduces wing rock. You will pay a price for some mixes in speed (drag) but some trad-offs may be worth it in lap times. Example pictured is on the extreem 3D side, you dont need much to help turning sharply. Start with a little, 5-10% and experiment. Every bird is a little different. ENJOY

RE: Elevator to flap mix
That mix is used for some extreme moves. It does help with wing rock but that's not what I use it for. That mix will let the plane fall straight down in an Elevator. I also use it for Waterfalls and Walls. On a down wind Wall the plane will stand straight up and slide forward 20' before it stops. Same way on a Parachute. A word of caution on this mix. The plane flys terrible with the mix on. For that reason I use the trainer switch on the radio to turn the mix on/off. I have tried it on a regular switch and it almost cost me the plane at the bottom of an inverted Elevator.
