Swash mix

Is it OK to have different swash mix for aileron and elevator? I want to increase aileron mix but not elevator or I will be looking for troubles? The reason is to increase rotation rate for elev, but because of binding to have aileron mix lower.

Thanks!

Yep. The values for pitch, elevator, and aileron can be different and typically are different. Just work to get whatever throw you want for aileron and elevator and don't worry about what the values are.---------

If you're doing it to avoid binding on aileron, and you max out elevator you may find that elevator is lightning fast, and aileron rolls are slow. That's the only trouble you'll likely come across. If you do, just re-adjust as necessary.

Actually it's pretty normal to have different values in the swash mix for aileron/elevator. I've found the elevator typically needs a little more pitch than aileron to get flips to feel about the same on both axis'.
