Radio System FAQ

I want to create a mix which is only active if my throttle is above a certain point. For example, I only want my smoke to come on if my throttle is above 1/2 to avoid killing the engine. How can I do this?

Select a blank pmix, and mix channel A to channel B (in our case mix throttle to smoke). Set your desired percents, and trim/offset if desired, then go to the switch assignment screen and set it to 'stk3'. This means throttle stick. Then set the position — with the throttle stick in the desired position and press the set keys (+ and - together). Now, one last step—if you want the mix active ABOVE this stick position, press +; BELOW this stick position, press -.

Keystrokes:
___Press the 2 advanced menu keys
___Arrow up until you hit an unused pmix
___Press + to make it active
___Arrow over
___Set the master channel as throttle
___Arrow over
___Set the slave channel as smoke (ch 7)
___Arrow over
___Set the desired %
___Arrow over
___Link off
___Arrow over
___Press + until get to STK 3
___Arrow over
___Set the stick position
___Press the +/- keys to set position
___Press + or - to set active above or below this point

That's it! Works great. Enjoy your 8U!
