Accessing the Dual Rate Function
Dual rate is available for the aileron and elevator
channels. The purpose of this function is to allow
for in-flight selection of two preset servo travels for
each of these channels. The amount of travel is
adjustable from 0-125%. The factory settings for both
switch positions (0 and 1) is 100%. Either position may
be selected as the low or high rate by placing the
switches in the desired position and adjusting the
value for that position. Operation of these switches is
described in Section 6.3.
Different types of maneuvers require varying amounts
of control movements. Snap rolls require large control
movements, while smooth maneuvers like long slow
rolls are best performed with smaller control
movements. Dual rates allow you to change the control
movements in flight at the flip of a switch. This allows
you to execute maneuvers requiring both radical
control movements and small control movements
during a single flight.
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Press the MODE and CHANNEL buttons
simultaneously to enter the function mode.
3. Press the MODE button until D/R appears on the
screen.
4. Press the CHANNEL button until the desired
channel appears on the screen (AI = aileron or
EL = elevator).
5. The number that appears directly to the right of the
selected channel is the switch position. There are
two switch positions, 0 and 1, for each of the
channels. A 0 will appear when the selected dual
rate switch is in the uppermost position and a 1
when the selected switch is in the lower position.
6. To change the switch selection you must enter the
dual rate switch selection function in the system
mode (see Section 6.3).
7. The number in the center of the screen indicates
the current dual rate value for the selected switch
position and channel. Press the INCREASE or
DECREASE button to adjust the dual rate value
(0 – 125%).
8. After adjusting the value for the 0 switch position,
change to the 1 switch position and adjust the
rates.
9. Press the CHANNEL button to select the other
channel and adjust the dual rate value for both
switch positions.
10. Press the MODE button to access the exponential
rate feature.
11. To exit, press the MODE and CHANNEL buttons
simultaneously.
