GOAL of EXAMPLE:
STEPS:
INPUTS:
Set up aileron triple rates on
SWITCH
C
with travel settings of 75% (normal),
25% (slow roll) and 140% (extreme
aerobatics) and exponential settings of
0%, +15%, and -40% respectively.
N O T E : T h i s n o r m a l r a t e h a s n o
exponential so it has a very linear,
normal feel. This slow roll rate has
positive exponential (the opposite of
what most people normally use), which
makes the servos more responsive
around center. This makes the servos
feel the same around center in the
normal and low rates, but still gives a
very slow roll rate at full stick.
The 3D rate (extreme aerobatics) has a
very high distance of travel nearly twice
that of the normal rate. Therefore, using
a very high negative exponential setting
softens how the servos respond around
center stick. This makes the servos
respond similarly around center stick
for a more comfortable feel.
Many modelers like to set up all 3 triple
rates on a single 3-position switch,
creating a “slow and pretty mode”,
a “normal mode”, and a “wild stunts
mode” all with the flip of a single
switch. To do so, simply set up rates
for all 3 controls and assign all 3 to the
same 3-position switch.
