DUAL RATES AND EXPONENTIAL
Dual rates are available for the aileron,
elevator and rudder channels of your R/C
aircraft. There is also an automatic dual
rate setting to link your aileron, elevator,
and rudder dual rates to the flight model
switch. This automatic Dual-Rate function
is discussed in a separate section that
follows. Dual rates may be defined as the
ability to vary the travel or throw rate of a
servo from a switch. Due to the differing
travel rates, you will find that the
sensitivity of the control either increases
or decreases accordingly. A higher rate, or
travel, yields a higher overall sensitivity.
You may find it easier to think
of the Dual-Rate function as double-rates
or half-rates.The Dual-Rate function works
in conjunction with the Exponential
function to allow you to precisely tailor
your control throws. You may want to
consult the section defining exponential
for further information.

Accessing the Dual Rate and Exponential Function
1. Place the transmitter power switch in
the on position.
2. Access the Function mode by pressing
the Down and Select keys
simultaneously.
3. Press either the Up or Down key until
D/R & EXP appears in the upper left
corner of the LCD.
4. Press the Channel key until the desired
channel (aileron, elevator, rudder or
automatic dual rates) appears.
5. Select the switch position for which you
want to adjust the rate. The number to
the upper right of the current rate value
on the display indicates the current
position of the Dual-Rate switch for the
channel that you have selected. Either a
0 or a 1 will be shown, corresponding to
the position of the switch. To select the
opposite switch position, move the
appropriate Dual-Rate switch to the
opposite position. The number that
appears above the current rate value
reflects the change.
6. Adjust the rate for the channel and the
switch position that you have just
selected. To decrease the throw rate,
press the (-) key. To increase the throw
rate, press the (+) key. As stated
previously, the adjustable rate is from 0-
125% for each switch position and
channel.
7. Press the Up arrow key to access the
REVERSING SW menu.
8. Press the Down arrow key to access the
SERVO TRAVEL SCREEN.
9. Press the Down arrow and Select keys
simultaneously to exit the function
mode.
The amount of travel is adjustable from
0-125% in 1% increments. The factory
setting, or default value, for both the
0 and 1 switch positions is 100%.
Either switch position may be selected as
the low or high rate by placing the switch
in the desired position and adjusting
the value accordingly.
