It will be helpful to understand the following terms before reading the rest of the manual.
The terms are not in alphabetical order, but are in a logical order that prepares the reader
for understanding the next term.
Reversing

- A function that allows the user to determine the direction
of response of each servo. If, after hooking up the servos, a control on the model
responds in the wrong direction, the user may change the servo's direction so
the control responds correctly.
Throw

Throw
- When speaking of a control surface (such as an elevator or aileron), the throw is
the distance the surface moves. Control surface throw is usually measured at the trailing
edge of the surface and is expressed in inches or millimeters. The model in the diagram
has 1/2" [13mm] of up elevator throw. Throw can also refer to the distance a servo arm (or
wheel) travels.

- On the 6EX-2.4GHz the dual rate switch allows you to instantly switch, in
flight, between two different control throws for the aileron, elevator and rudder. Often,
different control throws are required for different types of flying. (“Low” throws may be
required for flying at high speeds where the model’s response becomes more sensitive,
and “high” throws may be required for aggressive aerobatic maneuvers or landing or flying
at lower speeds where the model's response becomes less sensitive.)

- Sets the overall, maximum distance the servo rotates in
either direction. (No matter where the dual rates are set, the servo will never travel beyond
the limit set by the end point adjustment.)
Exponential

Exponential
- Normally, servos respond proportionally to control stick input from the
transmitter (e.g., if the stick is moved halfway, the servo will move halfway). However, with
“exponential,” the servo can be made to move more or less than initial stick movement
(less servo movement is more common). Exponentials are commonly used to “soften,” or
decrease initial servo travel for the ailerons, elevators and rudder. This way, initial control
stick inputs from the pilot result in small servo movement for a smoother flying airplane.

Mixing
- Two (or more) servos can be made to operate together either by mechanically
joining the wires (with a Y-connector) or by electronically “joining” them through
programming functions in the transmitter. When servos are electronically joined via
programming, they are said to be “mixed.” Unlike joining servos with a Y-connector, when
servos are mixed electronically they can be made to move in opposition. Additionally, each
servo’s end points can be independently set.
