Hey Guys.
Mixers on my Capich"E" All I am using is a little bit of up ailerons when pull elevator and down aileron when I am pushing.
To give you an idea how much setting up I did on my Capiche. Instead of setting a new model up my radio I simply used the set up from my Flip 3d and reversed what need to be and left it at that. I knew that Flip was good for something. All the movements are on as much as I can get with a single rate switch that dials them down to 50%. I try to use about -40% expo to soften things up. I am still trying to get my head around high expo values and having a real sensitive model.
I do not use any rudder to elevator mix or knife edge mix. I never have. For some reason I just having this thing in my head that if you set a plane up bang on for knife edge these mixes must interfere with the model during other maneuvers.
I often wonder why some models fly so much better than others. After much thought I really think it is a balance of many things. I think weight is a critical issue as is the positioning of the wing and tail. Then there are other matters such as side area and of course wing area.
I think as the 3d thing progresses and each model has a new and improved area weather it be weight or control surface area or side area we all learn what makes a difference.
For example I think I have flown a selection of models and most of them all have differing qualities. I think my ideal model would have to been a combination of about 10 different models taking the wings from one, the tail form another weighing as little as another but not so light as the other.
To be honest the Capiche is probably the closest to this combo that I have found to date.
