[NSRCA-discussion] Rudder mix instead of right thrust?

[George Miller]

Thanks mucho Jason....I knew that Chip used it, but I thought you did, too.  I've always used right thrust, but I have a funtana that I just converted to electric and it doesn't have enough right thrust, so I thought I'd try the mix before messing with the thrust.

  Hi George,

  It's not my technique, it's Chips. I tried it and didn't like it, but Chip's been using it for many years. Basically, there is no right thrust in the motor, and he uses a Throttle-Rudder mix. At idle, the rudder is neutral, and at full it has about 3/16ths (3-5%) right rudder mixed in. It's just a straight mix. If you want to get a more fine tuned mix, use a point mix and set the trim at the different points.

  Regards,
  Jason

    Somewhere I've seen a description of Jason's technique to set up rudder mix instead of right engine thrust, but I can't find it.  Could someone please re-post this or re-iterate it.  I can't believe I didn't save the message!-DOH!

    I can set up the mix in the transmitter...what I really want to know is what starting percentages are reasonable, and how to fine tune the mix.

    thanks,

    George
