Welcome to Helitronix, a company that engineers and develops electronics gear for the model helicopter community.
The development of our latest generation mixing device is now complete. The Helitronix Multi-Mixer is now available and is shipping world-wide. We are pleased to announce that RC2Rotors is now the exclusive distributor of our products for the European market.
The Helitronix Multi-Mixer is a sophisticated, state of the art, electronic mixing device which is now available in two versions, Standard and Special Edition. The standard version provides mixing capability for helicopters with a single rotor head. This device enables you to add gyros to the pitch and/or roll axis of your helicopter. The Special Edition version adds mixing capabilities for tandem rotor and coaxial rotor helicopters. The Special Edition mixer can be changed from standard, tandem or coaxial rotor mixing at any time through a simple configuration setting change.
The Standard Multi-Mixer has all the features of the original Helitronix Mixer and improves upon it. The Multi-Mixer has eliminated all buttons and dip-switches on the mixer itself. In combination with improvements to the computing technology inside, the Multi-Mixer is now half the size of the original. A removable LCD module with buttons is used to access the mixer configuration menu. Programming the mixer configuration is as straight forward as reading the prompts and selecting the values you want. This user interface makes it easier than ever to program the perfect settings at home or at the flying field.
The Multi-Mixer further improves upon the original. It increases the input sampling resolution and the output servo resolution from 12-bits to 16-bits. This means the the servos will move more smoothly in response to your stick movements. The phasing/rotor head timing adjustment has also been improved. The mixer enables timing adjustments in 1 degree increments for easier fine tuning.
The Special Edition Multi-Mixer has all the great features of the Standard Multi-Mixer and adds specialized functions to control tandem rotor and coaxial rotor craft. You'll find support for Differential Collective Pitch (DCP), Elevator Mixing, collective pitch adjustment, and more. Each item can be separately configured per rotor head for maximum flexibility. Furthermore, the Multi-Mixer supports 2 servo standard, 3 servo standard, 3 servo 120 CCPM, 3 servo 90 CCPM and 4-servo 90 CCPM mixing modes. Given these choices, the Special Edition Multi-Mixer is the perfect choice for upgrading the mechanical mixing system in your existing tandem or for any mechanics you may design or build in the future.
The Standard Multi-Mixer sells for $199.99 plus shipping. The Special Edition Multi-Mixer sells for $225.00 plus shipping.

Model Helicopter World reviewed the original Helitronix Mixer in their April 2006 issue and concludes that "For those amongst us that enjoy flying scale models with multi blade and flybar-less rotor heads, the 'Helitronix Mixer' is a must-have piece of equipment."
