Travel Settings:
Each Flight control must be set to its physical limits. This means as far as it will go, but
no farther than it has to. You set this by selecting the servo, fully deflect the surface with
the transmitter, then increase (or occasionally decrease) the percentage to where the
flight surface will not travel any further. Then simply back off a click or two and you are
done. Then, simply deflect it in the opposite direction and repeat the process. This
must always be done for Rudder, ailerons, flaps and elevators. Your travel/end point
settings must be above 100% to achieve full performance from each servo.
Rates and Exponential:
All rates at 100% for full 3D flying. I suggest your expo settings for full 3D will be 60%
as a starting point. Adjust to your preference after flying.
My personal settings:
I use a little trick where I put the stick at one third and set to where when I switch
between rates the surface hardly changes. Obviously at the end points it is an enormous
difference.
My personal expo settings for low rates is in the 20% range for an aerobatic plane and
half that for a war bird, and in the 60% to 70% range for high rates for 3d and near 40%
for warbirds. Again, this is highly dependent on the plane and this is a general guideline
only, and is my personal preference.
