Choosing the Channel
1) Press the Navigation Pad
34
to highlight the channel you would like to
make Exponential percentage value changes to. Choose either <EL>,
<AI>, or <RU>.
Exponential can be set for EL (Elevator), AI (Aileron), and RU (Rudder).
Changing the Exponential Percentage Values
The Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch. This allows you to program Exponential for each of the two
Dual Rate positions separately. For example, with the Dual Rate switch in position 1 (maximum travel), you can set the Exponential
percentage value to 30% to soften the control feel around neutral and with the Dual Rate switch in position 2 (reduced travel) you
can set Exponential percentage value to 0%. When the Exponential percentage value is set to 0%, the ratio between servo travel
and control stick movement will be Linear throughout the entire range of deection.
WARNING If you have not used Exponential functions in the past, we suggest that you start with a small percentage of Exponential
(approximately 10%~20%) until you get used to the feel of how Exponential affects the control feel of your model. You will nd
that Exponential is most useful where strong control response is desired at extreme control stick positions, but softer control
response to small control stick movements is desired in order to make very accurate small corrections to the ight path.
1) Press the Navigation Pad
6
to move the cursor to EXP>0%.
2) Move the Dual Rate switch to the position you would like to set an
Exponential percentage value for, either 1 or 2, then press the INC+/M1
or DEC-/M2 keys to set the desired Exponential percentage value for
the channel you chose previously.
EXP setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0% (Linear).
Increasing the Exponential percentage value softens the control feel
around neutral. Decreasing the Exponential percentage value heightens
the control feel around neutral.
D/R setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%. Increasing the Dual Rate percentage value increases servo
travel and decreasing the Dual Rate percentage value decreases servo travel.

Exponential Overview
The Exponential function allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the elevator, aileron, and
rudder control sticks near the neutral positions to change the way the control surfaces react to control stick movement. Increasing
the Exponential value will soften the control feel around neutral and decreasing the Exponential value will heighten the control
feel around neutral. For example, using a positive Exponential percentage value allows for smoother control by lessening the
amount of servo travel in relation to the amount of control stick movement. Using a negative Exponential percentage value may
result in more 'twitchy' control response because the amount of servo travel will be increased in relation to the amount of control
stick movement. The Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch. This allows you to program Exponential for
each of the two Dual Rate positions separately.
Exponential does not change the total amount of servo travel at maximum control stick deection. Exponential affects
the ratio between servo travel and control stick movement at less than maximum control stick deection.
