Use.an.Expo.to.soften.the.feel.of.the.model..On.high.3D..
rates.use.quite.a.bit.of.expo..The.goal.on.3D.rates.is..
to.get.the.model.to.feel.the.same.around.neutral.as.it..
does.on.low.rates.around.neutral.
Rates and Expos
Use.low.rate.settings.for.all.flying.except.for.3D.
aerobatics..For.precision.flying.or.general.sport.hot-
dogging,.the.low.rate.throws.are.perfect,.even.for.snap.
rolls..The.only.exception.is.rudder.rates..Use.3D.rudder.
rate.when.doing.stall.turns.and.rolling.circles,.since.
the.more.rudder.the.better.for.these..When.doing.3D.
aerobatics,.flip.to.3D.rates.just.before.the.maneuver..As.
soon.as.the.maneuver.is.done,.flip.back.down.to.low.rate.
to.avoid.over-controlling.the.model.
Radio Setup
With.a.6-Channel.computer.radio,.it.will.be.necessary.
to.Y-harness.the.two.elevator.servos;.a.reversed.elevator.
servo.is.needed.to.achieve.the.correct.control.direction..A.
servo.reverser.can.be.used.here.
Using.a.non-computer.radio.will.require.that.the.aileron,.
elevator.and.rudder.be.Y-harnessed..Be.sure.to.use.a.
reversed.servo.(or.a.reverser).for.one.of.the.elevator.
servos..If.you’ve.ever.thought.about.purchasing.a.
computer.radio,.now.is.a.good.time.to.do.it!
A.7-Channel.or.greater.computer.radio.is.highly.
recommended..This.allows.the.following.features:
•.Mixing.the.right.aileron.to.the.left.aileron.(flaperon.mix)
•.Electronically.adjustable.aileron.differential
•..Mixing.the.right.elevator.to.the.left.elevator.(dual.
elevator.mixing)
•..Independent.travel.and.trim.adjustments.for.each.
elevator.half
When.using.a.7-Channel.or.greater.computer.radio,..
each.servo.is.plugged.into.its.own.separate.channel..
Consult.your.radio.manual.for.specific.details.on..
hookup.and.programming.
If.using.a.6-Channel.radio.with.flaperon.mix,.the.aileron.
servos.are.each.plugged.into.their.own.channels..The.
right.aileron.plugs.into.the.aileron.socket.in.the.receiver,.
while.the.left.aileron.plugs.into.channel.6..With.flaperon.
activated.in.the.programming,.this.allows.for.independent.
travel.adjustment.of.each.aileron.in.each.direction.and.
electronic.aileron.differential..Consult.your.manual.for.
more.programming.details.
