Hi there,
justboatonic? & CAD2
and All,
I wouldnt say the AcTion Mixer is crap, its far from it, it just takes a little bit of getting used to and you have to be prepared to adjust certain things.? ?When we think about it, the mixer was first developed for a two-channel set, to give the operator of the two-channel set, the same advantages as the multi-channel set, having control of 2 motors.
I note justboatonic that you are going to try the TX with a wheel, it will be interesting to hear how you get along with this, because I presume this is either a 3 channel or a 4 channel set.? CAD2, like you I have never tried an Astec Mixer, but I have used a Hunter system mixer, which I found very very 'harsh' in the control of the motor speed and direction.? It seems to go from Slow ahead, to full ahead in one slight movement of the stick.? There does not seem to be a 'deadband' between ahead and astern.? It is all or nothing in one direction.
This mixer is, in my opinion, to be viewed with caution.
No doubt someone else will have had satisfactory results.
Aye
