Condition Select Flight conditions addition, deletion, copy, condition renaming, and condition delay can be set. [All model types]
The functions in the Model Menu can be used by switching the settings of up to
8 flight conditions by using the Condition Select function to add flight
conditions. Add conditions, as required.
When you do not want to use the Condition Select
function, this setting is unnecessary. In this case, use the flight conditions
(Condition 1) assigned at initial setting.
Since switching by stick and lever position, in addition to ordinary toggle
switch, is possible as the flight condition selector switch, this function can
be linked with other operations.
A Condition Delay function can be set. Unnecessary fuselage motion generated
when there are sudden changes in the servo positions and when there are
variations in the operating time between channels during condition switching
can be suppressed. The delay can be set for each channel.
When setting the delay function at the switching destination condition, the
related function changes after a delay corresponding to the set amount.
When multiple conditions are set, their operation priority can be freely
changed.
The condition name can be changed. The selected condition name is displayed on
the screen. When a condition has been added, give it a name which can be
easily confirmed.

shown below.

AFR (D/R)
The rudder angle and curve of each operation function can be set. A D/R curve which can be switched by switch, etc. can also be added. [All model types]
AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick,
lever, and switch functions (CH1 to CH16) for each flight condition. This is
normally used after End Point (ATV) has defined the maximum throw directions
(End Point acts on ALL flight condition settings). When mixing is applied from
one channel to another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the
same time by adjusting the operation rate through the
AFR function.
Setting method
Operation curve adjustment: Six types of curves (linear, EXP1, EXP2, VTR, line
and spline) can be selected. A maximum 17 points curve can be used for the
line and spline curve types. (Initial setting: 9 points) The number of points
can also be increased and decreased and curves from complex curves to simple
curves can be used.
Operation speed adjustment: The operation speed of each function when the
function is operated (including at flight condition switching) can be
adjusted. The function operates smoothly at a constant speed corresponding to
the set speed.
Touch the [AFR (D/R)] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown

Prog. Mixes
Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for each condition. [All model types]
Programmable mixing may be used to correct undesired tendencies of the
aircraft, and it may also be used for unusual control configurations. Mixing
means that the motion of a command channel, called the “master,” is added to
the motion of the mixed channel, called “slave.”
You may choose to have the Masters trim added to the Slave channel response,
if you desire (“Trim” setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the
undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by setting the
LINEAR1/LINEAR2/EXP1/EXP2/VTR/LINE/SPLINE modes. The Delay function can be
programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change the rate smoothly when
switching. You may define Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to
have mixing on all the time.
Offset-type mixing applies a fixed offset or preset to the programmed channel
servo operation and may control up to four circuits simultaneously.
The Programmable mixing includes a powerful link function, which allows
Programmable mixing to be linked with the special mixing functions, or with
other programmable mixing functions. The link function can be set up for
Master and Slave channel individually.
The slave channel AFR mode (STK-STK mode) may be selected, where the slave
channel AFR and D/R settings are observed when Link function is set. The knob
for fine tuning can be set up for every mixing circuit. (Fine tune function)
