EXPONENTIAL/VTR

Exponential or VTR functions can be used to change the servo response curve from the

normal  linear  operation.  This can be very  helpful if control response is either sluggish or too

sensitive near the neutral position.  Maximum servo deflection limits (set by ATV and/or

A FR)  remain  the  same.

Exponential

•With Exponential control, the amount of servo

movement in relation to a given amount of

control  stick deflection can be made to steadily

increase  (or  decrease) as the stick is moved

farther  from  neutral  (or as  in the case of CH3

(Throttle), from one extreme to the other).

used, when desired, on "neutralizing" controls
such as AIL, ELEV. and RUD.
The  TYPE 2 Curve is exponential in one direc-
tion over the full  stroke of the control  stick or
lever.  This type is normally used with functions

such as THR.

• The  amount of exponential can be varied from

0% to  100%  in  4% steps. By using positive or
negative  exponential with either the TYPE 1 or
TYPE 2 EXPO Curves, a total of four different
types of Exponential control response can be
selected.

• Exponential  control  is available on CH1 to

CH8.

• Two  different  types of Exponential  response

curves  can be selected.
The  TYPE 1 Curve is symmetrical  in both
directions from neutral. This  type is generally
