Re: Futaba T6XAs Mixing help

Sorry guys, I should have checked Futaba's FAQ first. Found out I had to use PMIX2 to turn off CH 5's regular function. I still have only trim on one side though.... not sure if maybe a Y might be the better way anyhoo. Mike

Y connector with a reverser in it. Reverses one side of the Y. Worked great for the flaps on my SuperStunts 60.

I believe Expert makes one:

EMS Jomar (look up their website on google).

UH, I forget who made it but it was something like $25. Bought it at my LHS, Robin's Hobby. Checking Tower Hobbies just now shows em made by EMS (looks right) and costing $18.99. In stock too. Both Futaba J and Hitec S/JR/whatever.

I Picked up an EXPERT 6" Y harness with a reverser at HTUSA tonight for $8.50. I hope it does the trick.

I don't care much for the Pmix set-up on the T6XAs. The PMix switch is then on the Elevator dual rate switch. If I'd inadvertently flip that up, the left elevator goes full down. Yikes! That could be exciting.

Thanks for all the input guys.
