Chip,
Interested in what mixes you use for precision flying. For Example, I just learned last year that some people mix a degree or two of right rudder when they add full throttle because you are usually working into an upline when you add full throttle. Any tips like this you care to share from your 28 years of program flying? maybe how to add a mix that will help do a crisp 4-point with a Carden Edge that likes to tuck to the belly?

Thanks,
Tim Davie

The most common mixes are rudd to ail and rudder to elev for knife flight, and your carden edge needs the second one. Start with 5% and go from there.

As for some other mixes the rudder to throttle is one I have used for 10 years now and will continue to use until someone comes up with a light weight counter rotating prop. In order for a plane to be true upright and inverted it is the only way I can think of to even come close. THRUST IS NOT THE ANSWER. lol Finally I sometimes mix 1 or 2 percent down elevator at idle in order to get the downlines perfect. The reason for this is once you get your plane to go straight up you don't want to mess with anything that can affect that on the plane so I just mix out whatever is needed on the down lines.

Hi Chip!!!!

What percent you use at the rudder to throttle?
I have an CAmodel Funky (3d plane with an OS 50SX) and I'm going to fly an Camodel Epsilon (F3A and Artistic Aerobatics with an OS 91 FX), I should use this? If the answer is yes: How many?

Thanks for your help

and good flights!!!

(i.e. Throttle to rudder mix......)

Start with none and trim for straight and level flight with the plane going away from you. Make sure you only have 1-2 degrees of right thrust at the most. once it is trimed at full throttle level flight, land and see how far your Rudder is off to the right< and then add the mix until your rudder is netral at Idle and off by however much needed at the full throttle setting.

Have a nice day
