GOAL of EXAMPLE: STEPS: INPUTS:
37
Set up aileron triple rates on S
WITCH C
with travel settings of 75% (normal),
25% (slow roll) and 140% (extreme
aerobatics) and exponential settings of
0%, +15%, and -40% respectively.
NOTE: This normal rate has no
exponential so it has a very linear,
normal feel. This slow roll rate has
positive exponential (the opposite of
what most people normally use),
which makes the servos more
responsive around center. This makes
the servos feel the same around center
in the normal and low rates, but still
gives a very slow roll rate at full stick.
The 3D rate (extreme aerobatics) has a
very high distance of travel B nearly
twice that of the normal rate.
Therefore, using a very high negative
exponential setting softens how the
servos respond around center stick.
This makes the servos respond
similarly around center stick for a
more comfortable feel.
Many modelers like to set up all 3
triple rates on a single 3-position
switch, creating a “slow and pretty
mode”, a “normal mode”, and a “wild
stunts mode” all with the flip of a
single switch. To do so, simply set up
rates for all 3 controls and assign all 3
to the same 3-position switch.
Where next?
Open D/R,EXP function.
Choose the channel to change
(Ex: aileron is already selected)
Optional: change switch assignment.
Confirm switch is in desired position
and set rate. (Ex: up = high rate, 75%).
Move S
WITCH to 2nd rate position and
set this particular rate.
(Ex: center = low rate, 25%).
Optional: if using a 3 position
SWITCH, move SWITCH to 3rd position
and set this rate (Ex: down = 3D rate,
140%).
Optional: instead of using a switch,
you can set high rates to be triggered
when the stick moves past a certain
point. To test this, set aileron high
rate to 25%. Now set switch
assignment to AIL (90%). Move
AILERON STICK to the right and notice
the huge jump in travel after the stick
moves 90% of its distance.
Set each rate’s EXP.
(Ex: 0%, +15%, -40%)
