2.Once the desired model number is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT key. A NAME 

will appear on the screen. 

3. Choose a character for the first digit by using DATA INPUT lever. Then move to the next digit 

by pressing the SELECT key and choose a character in the same way. Continue choosing 
characters for the third and fourth digits. You can use up to four characters for the name.

REVR   Servo Reversing

REVR   Servo Reversing 

The servo reversing function is used to change the direction that a servo responds to a control input from the transmitter 
(stick, dial or switch). After using the reversing function, check 

all

all

 the controls on the model to 

be certain

be certain

 they are operating 

in the correct direction and that you did not inadvertently reverse a servo other than the one intended. Reversing the wrong 
servo (and not checking the response of the controls before each flight) may be the most common cause of a crash! 

 

To reverse a servo:

To reverse a servo: 

1. Enter the programming mode and use the MODE key to access the 

REVR

REVR

 function. 

2. Use the SELECT key to select the channel you wish to reverse. 

3. Push the DATA INPUT lever downward to reverse the servo (REV), or push the lever upward 

to make the servo operate normally (NOR). The arrow will indicate the condition of the servo 
(normal or reversed). In the diagram channel 1 (aileron) is “normal” (not reversed). 

4. Use the SELECT key to display other channels to be reversed. 

Dual Rates / Exponential Settings

Dual Rates / Exponential Settings

The aileron, elevator and rudder dual rates on the 6EXAP are simultaneously activated by the dual rate switch. The amount of 
travel decrease for each control may be set between 0% and 100% of the values set for the end points (explained in End 
Point Adjustment on page 12). 

Note:

Note:

 It is possible to set a dual rate value to zero, thus causing no response from that channel. If the dual rates are 

inadvertently set to zero, a crash could result.

Note:

Note:

 When performing initial model setup, the E.P.A.s should be set

 prior to

prior to

 setting the dual rates. When setting the 

E.P.A.s for the first time on a new model, the dual rates should be set to 100%.

D/R   Dual Rate Settings

D/R   Dual Rate Settings

To set the dual rates:

To set the dual rates:

 

1. Enter the programming mode. Access the 

D/R

D/R“ 

screen with the MODE key. 

2. Select the channel to be adjusted (1-aileron, 2-elevator, 4-rudder) by pressing the SELECT 

key until the desired channel number the left side on the screen. Note: If a 

EXPO

EXPO“

 will 

appear on the screen, you have pressed the SELECT key too many times and displayed the 
values for the exponentials (explained later). Press the SELECT key to return to the dual rate 
values. 

3. Place the dual rate switch in the desired position for the value you wish to change. 

(Generally, pilots prefer to have the switch in the “up” position for the high rate, and in the 

down” position for the low rate.) 

4. Change the dual rate value using the DATA INPUT lever until the desired control throw is achieved. If you wish to change 

the control throw when the switch is in the other position as well, flip the switch, then use the DATA INPUT lever to change 
the throw. 

5. Repeat the procedure for the other dual rate (channel 2-elevator, 4-rudder).
