HELI – FUNCTION LIST
D/R & EXP – DUAL RATE AND EXPONENTIAL
FUNCTION MODE
H-14
Once the basic helicopter configuration has been
defined in the SYSTEM Menu, the functions found in the
FUNCTION LIST are used to complete the setup and then
to adjust how the helicopter flies and how it is controlled.
The functions are presented below in the order that they
appear in the
Function List
.
The descriptions are general in nature and are intended to
provide enough information to decide whether or not to
use a function, and what types of selections and settings
to make.
Press the LIST button after the transmitter is powered-up
to obtain the FUNCTION LIST.
Dual Rates and Exponential curves can be very effective
in setting up a helicopter to have a particular “feel” when
performing different types of maneuvers. Just changing
D/R and EXPO values can change the helicopter’s
personality, causing the helicopter to take on traits that
make certain maneuvers easier for the pilot. At times we
may want the helicopter to feel very crisp, such as when
performing aerobatics, and then feel softer for other
maneuvers such as Hovering, and yet other times when
we would like the helicopter to be very crisp but without
the tendency to be over-controlled, like in performing 3D
maneuvers. Dual Rates and Exponential curves can be
combined to produce these traits. When programming a
Dual Rate and Exponential curve, think about what kind of
response is desired from the helicopter.
1. Highlight and select
D/R & EXP
in the
FUNC.LIST
to obtain the D/R & EXP display. There will be 3 sets of
values displayed for each channel – Aileron, Elevator
and Rudder.
2. Use the
Selector
to change between Aileron,
Elevator and Rudder. Then use it to set dual rate and
exponential values. If exponential has never been used
before, try a low positive value like +20. After a while,
increase it gradually until the desired feel is obtained.
Use only positive (+) percentages unless there is a
distinct need to increase control sensitivity.
