![23XP6102 - Airplane ManualTRAINER FUNCTION 5.8The XP6102 offers a programmable trainerfunction with three trainer options:Normal mode - In this mode thetransmitter acts as a conventional buddy-box system. The transmitter can be used asa slave or as a master: however in thismode, the reversing switches and trimsmust be adjusted so the slave transmittermatches the master transmitter. In normalmode, when the trainer switch isactivated, the student has control of allfunctions and switches.Pilot Link - When pilot link mode is usedwith the master transmitter, it allows theslave transmitter to be adjusted to factorydefaults. The slave transmitter can simplybe programmed in a model memory notbeing used and reset to factory defaults,thus preventing the need to synchronizethe trims and reversing switches on theslave transmitter.Also, when Pilot Link is used, the studentonly has control of the 4 basic channels(throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder) whilethe trainer (master) retains control of allother functions like gear, dual rate,programmed mixes, etc. This allows apilot to have a test flight on a morecomplex airplane without having toremember complex switch positions.Pilot Link + Slave - This mode is usedonly when the XP6102 is being used as aslave transmitter and the other Mastertransmitter has a Pilot Link programactive. By selecting Pilot Link + Slave thetransmitter is automatically in the correctprogramming mode to work as a slave inconjunction with another Pilot Linkequipped transmitter.Accessing the Trainer Function1.

![6.2 DUAL RATES AND EXPONENTIALDual rates are available for the aileron,elevator and rudder channels of your R/Caircraft. There is also an automatic dualrate setting to link your aileron, elevator,and rudder dual rates to the flight modelswitch. This automatic Dual-Rate functionis discussed in a separate section thatfollows. Dual rates may be defined as theability to vary the travel or throw rate of aservo from a switch. Due to the differingtravel rates, you will find that thesensitivity of the control either increasesor decreases accordingly. A higher rate, ortravel, yields a higher overall sensitivity.You may find it easier to think of the Dual-Rate function as double-ratesor half-rates.The Dual-Rate function worksin conjunction with the Exponentialfunction to allow you to precisely tailoryour control throws.

![6.10 PROGRAMMABLE MIXING (1-6)The XP6102 offers four programmablemixes to be used for any number ofdifferent purposes. This function allowsmixing any one channel to any otherchannel. This mix can remain on at alltimes or be switched on and off in flightusing a number of different switches.Mix numbers 1-3 are of the standardvariety, in that the digital trim for themaster channel only affect the masterchannel, and not the slave channel. Mixnumber 4 is of the "Trim Include" variety.This mix is used any time the mix requiresthe slave channels trim position to bevaried when the master channels digitaltrim position is varied. An example for thistype of mix would be when dual elevatoror dual aileron servos are used andconnected to two separate channels of thesystem, rather than using a single channelwith a Y-harness.Each channel of this radio is identified byan abbreviated name. The chart belowindicates the channel and itscorresponding abbreviation. The channelname appearing first is known as the"master channel" or the channel to whichyou want to mix. The second number isknown as the "slave channel" or thechannel that is being mixed into themaster channel. For example, AIL ➔ RUDwould indicate aileron-to-rudder mixing.Each time the aileron stick is moved, theaileron will deflect, and the rudder willautomatically move in the direction andto the value input.Mixing is proportional, so small inputs ofthe master channel will produce smalloutputs of the slave channel. Eachprogrammable mix has a mixing "offset."The purpose of the mixing offset is to re-define the neutral position of the slavechannel.38 XP6102 - Airplane Manual[MX1] THR THRON OFFSET 0 0% 0% SW ALWAYS ONGo to Flap System menuGo to Flap System menu Change selected valueReset selection to defaultMaster Channel Slave ChannelMix numberSwitch selection Switch conditionMix percentagesOffset valueChange highlighted selectionTHR: ThrottleAIL: AileronELE: ElevatorRUD: RudderGEA: GearFLA: Flap](https://usermanual.wiki/Horizon-Hobby/XP6102/User-Guide-361509-Page-40.png)

Thus, in normalfunction it will have no effect. Also,adjusting the hovering throttle leverand throttle trim has no effect on theinput values of the throttle curve.Each of the five points of the throttle curveare independently adjustable from 0-100%. These five points correspond to theposition of the throttle stick.

![PITCH CURVES 6.10Adjustment of the pitch curve is verysimilar to the throttle curve adjustmentdescribed in the preceding section. Athorough understanding of the ThrottleCurve Section will make pitch curveadjustment easier to understand. There arethree independent types of pitch curvesavailable: Normal, Stunt, and Hold. Eachpitch curve contains five adjustable points:LOW, 1, MID, 3 and HIGH.Note: The pitch curve for the ThrottleHold function can only be set if thissystem is activated.73XP6102 - Helicopter ManualAccessing the Pitch Curve Function 1.

![REVOLUTION MIXING (HEADING LOCK GYROS ONLY)The Revolution Mixing function mixes tailrotor with the Throttle and Pitch Curvefunctions to counteract torque from themain rotor blades. When set up correctly,the helicopter should climb and descendwithout a tendency to yaw in eitherdirection. Because torque reaction varieswith different power settings, it isnecessary to vary the tail rotor pitch at thesame time. The XP6102 offers twoseparate revolution mixing programs, withindependent up and down mixing foreach - one for Flight mode positionNormal and the other for Stunt. The upmixing adjusts the tail rotor compensationfor the mid to high throttle setting and thedown, mixing adjusts the tail rotorcompensation for the mid to low throttlesetting.75XP6102 - Helicopter ManualAccessing the Revolution Mixing Function 1.

![PROGRAMMABLE MIXINGThe XP6102 offers two programmablemixes to be used for any number ofdifferent purposes. This function allowsmixing any one channel to any otherchannel. This mix can remain on at alltimes or be switched on and off in flightusing a number of different switches.Mix number 1 is of the standard variety, inthat the digital trim for the master channelonly affect the master channel, and notthe slave channel. Mix number 2 is of the"Trim Include" variety. This mix is usedany time the mix requires the slavechannels trim position to be varied whenthe master channels digital trim position isvaried. An example for this type of mixwould be when dual elevator or dualaileron servos are used and connected totwo separate channels of the system,rather than using a single channel with aY-harness.Each channel of this radio is identified byan abbreviated name. The chart belowindicates the channel and itscorresponding abbreviation. The channelname appearing first is known as the"master channel" or the channel to whichyou want to mix. The second number isknown as the "slave channel" or thechannel that is being mixed into themaster channel. For example, AIL ➔ RUDwould indicate aileron-to-rudder mixing.Each time the aileron stick is moved, theaileron will deflect, and the rudder willautomatically move in the direction and tothe value input.Mixing is proportional, so small inputs ofthe master channel will produce smalloutputs of the slave channel. Eachprogrammable mix has a mixing "offset."The purpose of the mixing offset is to re-define the neutral position of the slavechannel.77XP6102 - Helicopter Manual[MX1] THR THRON OFFSET 0 0% 0% SW ALWAYS ONGo to Flap System menuGo to Flap System menu Change selected valueReset selection to defaultMaster Channel Slave ChannelMix numberSwitch selection Switch conditionMix percentagesOffset valueChange highlighted selectionTHR: ThrottleAIL: AileronELE: ElevatorRUD: RudderGEA: GearPIT: Pitch6.12](https://usermanual.wiki/Horizon-Hobby/XP6102/User-Guide-361509-Page-79.png)
