DX6i and Mix Elev -> Throt = No Joy

[JimLerch]

Can anyone else with a DX6i confirm this?

In any mode, but preferably Heli mode, can you have an elevator or aileron input add throttle? I fly curves and don't have a governor, so this is of interest to me!

I can't get this to work in Heli or Airplane mode, even after selecting a blank model and reseting it to default, enabling the mixes and trying all kinds of stuff. I can make it work backwards, throttle adding elevator or aileron, but not elevator or aileron adding throttle..

I made a fairly neat hack with the mix menus to turn the gyro switch into a Heading hold or rate mode switch, and bind the gain values to the flight mode switch (in essence giving me 4 gyro gain settings). I only mention this as I thought I had a pretty good understanding of mixes and what not..

Thanks Gents!

Be careful posting the same thing in multiple places.

I tried doing the same mix and see that it appears impossible. I'm guessing that the throttle curve is the only output for that channel. You will probably see the same thing with the pitch channel.

I called Horizon Hobby today, their answer is "Nope, can't be done. mixes can't alter THRO or PITCH curves"

I asked why in the manual the demo shows a THRO -> THRO mix. (even if it is 0%) No answer... Grrrrrr

Oh well, I'll wait till I wear out this DX6 and move onto a DX7 in the distant future..

I'm eyeballing the x9303. no lhs has them in stock. I'd like to hold one to see how it feels.

Do they have any XP9303s? They feel like a XP9303 with the antenna down.

Very nice. :)
