How to setup your knife edge mixes - Frsky Ethos tutorial

Whether you're a world-class IMAC or pattern pilot or just enjoying weekend flights with a trusty foamy, dialing in the perfect knife edge mixes can elevate your flying to the next level. In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through setting up rudder-to-elevator and rudder-to-aileron mixes using the FrSky ETHOS system. This video uses ETHOS 1.6.0.

Learn my in-flight tuning tips to quickly fine-tune your mixes for precision and control. Spend a few minutes on these setups, and watch your knife edge flying dramatically improve!

Now, I’m going to be a pro level pilot… Watch out! Thanks so much for the video

I love tht you name your curves, my god I get lost on some of my older builds which I didn't name curves or logic switches on

[markwest]

This is exactly the video I wanted to see and my favorite mixes for precisely tuning my plane. Huge thanks for this. Knife edge mixing is just essential.

Excelente video 👌.
Esperamos más contenido como este y también un canal en español 😅

Great info Juan! I set up a knife edge mix through a free mix the other day and my way was harder to figure out. Thanks for explaining Vars as well, I had no idea how to use them.

[BarsErdal]

A very usefull video as always thank you!

[JustPlaneChris]

Very helpful! I have the mixes already tuned for my Flex RV-8, but the Var trick is great! I will definitely be using that in the future.

Excellent video. Very clear. Thank you!

Brilliant tutorial Juan👍 I have knife edge mixes already setup in my X18SE however really interesting how you used the VAR and the momentary switches to dial in the mix...I just click on the Points and use the Scroll wheel in flight to adjust them but love your way more ...thanks for this really cool video ...took me ages to suss this out at 1st when I moved over to FRSKY I'm sure this will be a highly appreciated video 👍

[davidhall]

Where did you get the large FRSKY and 'Lets You Set The Limits' stickers on the Ailerons ? They are cool

[joaquinpachon]

Juan excelente video, se podrían usar estas mezclas teniendo un Gyro instalado? gracias...

Do you know please which source Ethos uses for the rudder input? Is it simply 'raw' rudder stick, else is it after any rates and expo have been applied? The latter would presumably be more aerodynamically correct, but I *think* I've seen something which suggests it's the former. (In Open Tx this distinction was easier to work with given its separate 'inputs' page).

Saludos Juan ! Un comentario : La mezcla que viene pre definida en la radio usa el valor análogo del stick, eso trae como consecuencia que siempre es igual, independiente de si usas dual o triple rates, mi sugerencia es usar como fuente (source) el canal del rudder en una mezcla libre (free mix); asi la mezcla será proporcional a la cantidad de mando definida en cada posición del switch de tus rates

[felopg]

Gracias Juan, perfectamente explicado y me ha gustado el tema de las variables, estaba teniendo el problema de que a derechas o izquierdas la cantidad requerida de mando era distinta, y sobre todo... tener que bajar para hacer cada cambio era un coñazo. Una pregunta... usas algún interruptor para activar el mix, o lo tienes activo todo el vuelo? gracias!!

I've been doing Knife edge with out a mix, using this mix should improve my Knife edge 100%. I will have to try this on one of my foamie first.
Question are you using a switch to turn ON/Off this mix? I watch the video a couple time to see if I miss something you don't fly your plane with this mix active all the time do you?

Ruder=> Elevator Mix
It's accurate and convenient for knife edge
But it's more natural to have no mix in Rifle Roll
Should I use mod to turn it on and off?
There are always good videos that come up, so it's good

[mr.y]

I always wanted to buy the iX14+ Spektrum because it was easy to program, but I was persuaded to buy the FrSky x20s because it had more functions, security, compatibility and price.
Does ethos really make the transmitter easier to program? That still scares me.
Do you recommend buying the frsky x20RS instead of FrSky x20s? What's the difference?

Hloo freand are you coming to the iMac competition in the UAE in abril this year

[zackriden]

your plane should require zero ke mixing if its any good

Wrong explanation in the video! With a right turning prop when making a left knife edge the plane will always pitch up to the canopy because the blade rotating to the right (“down”) wil have an increased airflow, so a pitch up of the plane. The inverse happens with a right knife edge; the plane will always pitch down to the landing gear
