Steering rate, (also known as dual rate) allows on-the-fly

steering travel adjustments to be made using the steering

rate knob. Steering rate limits the amount of travel of the

steering servo. The steering rate cannot be greater than

100% and will never exceed the amount of steering travel

set in the travel screen.
