Glad you find it useful!

Holy crap, this is the exact question I had at Joe Nall and was trying to help a guy out. I couldn't get the elevator to move at the same speed as the flaps when I had slowed the flaps down. Thanks for solving yet another situation for me!!!!

i like how you did this but i dont like mixing ele with half flaps/takeoff flaps. i like just using free mix. they really should put slow on these mixes. not sure why they didnt.

[@adam_mawz_maas]

They didn't put slow in the flaps->ele mix because if setup correctly, it would actually break things out.
NB - Use the Active Condition of the mix or a 3 point curve to zero out the mixer output at half/takeoff flaps.

[@jhue73]

@@adam_mawz_maas not sure what you mean by "break things out". slow should be an option in these mixes. it pretty much makes these predefined mixes useless for me without it. this is why i use freemix because the option is there. not sure why they chose to leave this option out doesnt make any sense. using the predefined mixes as they are now is no different than using freemix takes the same amount of time but with more options. it would be ideal to have flaps=>ele be the flaps and ele mix on one mix that would make things much more simple and is the reason it should have slow up and slow down. i thought ethos was supposed to be easier than openttx but in reality it is not.
