12Z mixing for flying wings ??
Help?
I tested my new 12Z in a powered flying wing model, and various mixing features did not behave as expected. What is the problem? I am using "Elevon" action fo rpitch and roll control. When I try to mix to elevator and aileron portions of this combined control movement, it doesn't work normally? I assume, since there is no separate “elevon” mixing feature, that all the “flying wing” wing types are intended to perform the elevon mixing function – is that correct?
For traditional model/wing/tail type = Airplane, 1 Aileron, Normal tail, the following mixes worked normally when I enabled each:
RUD-->AIL,
RUD-->ELE,
PROG.MIX Throttle-->Aileron
PROG.MIX Throttle-->Elevator
I activated each mix. I entered a % for rate A and B. And each mix drove the slave as expected.
For “Airplane” model type, with any of the “Flying-Wing” wing types, and “Normal” rudder type, these same mixing features did work as expected? I activated each mix exactly the same as I did above (activate the mix feature and enter a % for rates A and B) and got strange results. Why?
RUD-->AIL mix
Worked as expected. Rudder input drove all aileron channels as slaves in their proper combined aileron motion.
RUD-->ELE mix
Did not work at all. Rudder input did not drive any of the elevon channels to move at all.
PROG.MIX Throttle-->Aileron
Did not work as expected. Throttle input moved only the first aileron (channel 4). The p.mix did not move all ailerons together as ailerons??
PROG.MIX Throttle-->Elevator
Did not work at all. Throttle input did not drive any of the aileron or flap channels at all.
PROG.MIX Throttle-->Camber
Did not work at all either. Throttle input did not drive any of the aileron or flap channels at all.
Why don’t these mixes work as expected with for the flying-wing wing types?
