D/R & EXP – DUAL RATE AND EXPONENTIAL
THRO CURV – THROTTLE CURVE
A-22
A-23
Dual Rates and Exponential curves can be very effective
in setting up an aircraft to have a particular “feel” when
performing different types of maneuvers. Just flipping a
switch can change the aircraft’s personality, causing it to
take on traits that make certain maneuvers easier for the
pilot. At times the aircraft needs to feel very crisp, such as
when performing point-oriented aerobatics, and then feel
softer for other maneuvers such as landing and rolling
circles. At other times the aircraft needs to be very crisp
but without the tendency to be over-controlled, like in
performing snap rolls. You can combine Dual Rates and
Exponential curves to produce these traits for most any
aircraft. When programming a Dual Rate and Exponential
curve, think about what kind of maneuver you will perform
and your desired response from the aircraft. For an
in-depth description of D/R and Exponential, please refer
to the Dual Rates and Exponential Curves at the end of the
Aircraft section of this manual
1. Highlight and select
D/R & EXP
in the
FUNC.LIST
to obtain the D/R & EXP display. If you activated Flight
Modes earlier in the
Devic.SEL
function and set
D/R
to
FM
in the same function, 3 sets of values will
display for each channel. Otherwise, there will only be
2 sets of Dual Rate and Exponential settings for each
control.
2. Use the
Selector
to change between Aileron, Elevator and
Rudder by highlighting and selecting
AILE
. Then
use it to select and set dual rate and exponential
values. If exponential has never been used before, try
a low positive value like +10. After a while increase it
gradually until the desired feel is obtained.
Note
: Use only positive (+) percentages unless there
is a distinct need to do otherwise.
A linear throttle response can be obtained with the THRO
CURV function by causing the throttle servo to move in an
exponential fashion. In other words, the servo will move
very little for the first ¼–½ of stick movement, and then
move more rapidly as the stick is advanced further.
You can also use THRO CURV to set up a special throttle
response where the engine quickly comes up to a certain
rpm, then advances very slowly to provide precise rpm
control for a specific throttle range before continuing on
to full throttle. Such a curve is useful for torque rolling,
rolling circles and other maneuvers where the throttle
response is slowed or flattened-out for a particular throttle
range.
If you activated the Twin E. function for twin-engine
aircraft, independent throttle curves are available for each
engine to help eliminate any discrepancies in the throttle
response between the two engines.
If the aircraft is equipped with an engine that has a non-
linear response, set up a throttle curve as described below.
1. Highlight and select
THRO CURV
in the
FUNC.LIST
.
Two different throttle curves may be defined and they
are named or otherwise referenced by Pos0 and Pos1.
2. If there is a need to have 2 throttle curves (e.g. a
regular curve and a curve for torque rolling), use the
Selector to highlight SW SELECT and a list of available
Flight Modes and switches appears. Select the Flight
Mode(s) (FM0, FM1, or FM2) and/or switch(es) used
to select between the 2 curves. The switch will be used
to select between the Pos0 curve and the Pos1 curve.
Highlight and select
Pos0
to toggle between the
Pos0
and
Pos1
, in order to display and adjust the 2 curves.
