As you may or may not know I got into this hobby 2 months ago. I got a Nexstar, a Futaba 6EX, and an OS 46AX. I'm now on my second plane, and the third is due in tomorrow. I am progressing really, really fast.

Anyway, I'm at the point where I want to put some mixes in my computer, mainly I want to have up elevator with rudder input. On my mix, however, I can only get it so it gives up elevator with one direction rudder, and down elevator with the other direction rudder, or vice-versa. Do any of you guys know how to set this mix up on the 6EX? I need this mostly for knife edges as the plane pulls toward the landing gear every time.

Also, how many channels/what radios do most of you pattern guys use? I have this horrible feeling that I'm going to outgrow my radio before the summer is over, and it's brand new. I am under the impression that a fancy radio and mixes are pretty important to fly pattern competitively. I'm also realizing that I'm more of a perfectionist than I realized
