Yes it does have swash mixing, you need to make sure it is heli mode in the PARA menu and then next menu or the one before will give you the swash mode. I think the 450 needs SWSH3 but I am nott 100% sure you will need to refer to the manual.

The FF6 is a very basic TX, it has not throttle curves, not sure it has pitch curves and is rather hard to program if you are unfarmilar with the menu system...........hell even I had trouble understanding some of it just now yet I an program a JR or a new Futaba 6,7,9 with no problems.

Yes it can do swash mixing it can do S1 SWASH1, S2 SWSH2, SR3 SWSH3, SN3 SWSH3E,
The one you will need for a trex is SR3,
To find it make sure the tx is set to heli mode,
PRESS MODE till SWASH appears on the menu.
select the desired swashplate type by pressing (+) - (-) at this time the selected type will blink on and off, once you have found SR3 (for trex) press the CURSOR key and the word SET? appears blinking on and off in the display.
press both (+) - (-) DATA INPUT keys at the same time and a beep beep sounds indicates that the selected type is now the active one,
