| Sounds good Keith,
A couple of things to remember though.
1) Remember that you are mixing a primary flight control into a primary flight control so you'll want to retain any trims or offsets or such. You may have to use the Ai2, or 3 menu selections for example. These allow you to tranfer any changes, that affect the master channel, to the slave channel.
For the Fury, You will definitely want to use a pitch-to-ail and a pitch-to-ele mix to work out any interactions at full and low pitch. If you do your linkages correctly, you'll only need 2-3% mixing. These will need to be always on. Double check that these mixes, or your "DR mix", wont be messed up or lost when you flip the "DR mix" switch.
If you find you have too much overall throw, use the CP-EPA in the CCPM menu to set your max throw, NOT the regular ATVs. I ended up with about 60% on all three channels but I found any more than 80% will bind the swash plate against the pitch slider anti-rotation pins at full throw. Leave them all the same and avoid using them to make up for any interactions. If you find the swash is not level at full and low stick, use the pitch-to-cyclic mixes I told you about above.
2) Also remember that with mixes it is possible to overdrive the servo. For example, in a 3D cyclic-to-throttle mix, it is possible to overdrive the throttle servo when at full throttle, then giving a cyclic command. With the heli3 card you can set a hard limit on any servo with a the SV-LIMIT menu. If you get several mixes acting on the same servo you may find you'll need to use this function.
Have fun,
Mike

So now I have four switches across the face of the transmitter just staring at me doing nothing at all. Any Stylus gurus know a way to cheat those rates back onto a switch somehow or am I stuck without my triple rates from now on?
