Each
f
light control must be set to its physical limits. This means as far as it will go, but no f
u
rther than it has to.
You set this by selecting the servo, fully deflect the surface with the transmitter, then increase (or occasionally
decrease) the percentage to where the flight surface will not travel any further. Then simply back off a click or
two and you are done. Then, simply deflect it in the opposite direction and repeat the process. This must
always be done for
r
udder, ailerons, flaps and elevators. Your travel/end point settings must be above 100%
to
achieve full performance from each servo.
RATES AND EXPONENTIAL
All rates at 100% for full 3D flying. I suggest your expo settings for full 3D will be 60% as a starting point.
Adjust to your preference after flying
to achieve full performance from each servo.
MY PERSONAL SETTINGS
I use a little trick where I put the stick at one third and set to where when I switch between rates the surface
hardly changes. Obviously at the end points it is an enormous difference.
My personal expo settings for low rates is in the 20% range for an aerobatic plane, and expo in
the 60% to 70% range for high rates for 3
D
. Again, this is highly dependent on the plane and this is a general
guideline only, and is my personal preference.
