Transmitter Dual Rate and Expo Theory, Part 1 of 2

[CaptainHal8HS]

Awesome video! Well done. But I would kill the background music at some point; very distracting as I'm trying to listen to what you are saying.

I am a new heli flyer and just bought the DX6i. Really enjoyed your video's. They helped me to learn what the different settings do & how to program the DX6i ! Best "how to" video's I have watched on here.

Thanks !

Hi, what's the difference between D/R and Endpoint adjustments ?

[trexinvert]

@9joker6 Endpoint is "exactly" the endpoint. The D/R will adjust if you want to "use it all" or back off from it. Say you set your car to go 100mph, then you can use D/R to set limit back to say 80 mph. However, if you are in a pinch and you need that 100mph, you are out of luck. That's what expo is for. What's expo? Watch his video.

Im am soon going to buy myself a transmitter where the duel rate can be changed. i would just like to say that was an excellent tutorial video and explained very well.thanks guys

Thanks for the informative video. You're a natural at teaching.

[fireblade4727]

man, i could listen to you all day!! ao much better than a lecture in history!

[erkrystof]

@fireblade4727 Thanks!

[fireblade4727]

thanks! i was so confused. i got my dx6i today

[stillededge]

Excellent class, well prepared and presented; i'm looking forward to more!

[erkrystof]

@stillededge Thank you very much!

[Erni66x]

Nice videos!! But it is time for a DX8 video!!

[erkrystof]

@Erni66x Well, I just happened to pick one up for putzing around with on our combat flyers... So perhaps! :)

[Johno19691]

Thanks mate just what I needed.

[darksatelite01]

Somebody give this guy a riccola!

[he3r00]

Great videos. especially d/r & expo. are the best videos on the internet, explaining how this stuff works.

Thank you for taking time and preparing them.

[erkrystof]

@he3r00 You're quite welcome, and thank you for the compliments!

[sdave761]

Excellent video, as a newbie to RC its difficult finding good sources of information. The manual that comes with the DX6i transmitter doesn't explain the functions and how they effect the aircraft being used. This is a concise and clear explanation of a confusing subject and you did a great job. I look forward to your future videos, thanks for all of the effort!

[erkrystof]

@sdave761 Thanks, sdave, always appreciated!

[mrderekcu]

Your videos are highly informative, and the little skit in the beginning is nice, just one friendly piece of advice. Could you keep the volume the same throughout the video? When I try to hear your voice, I turn up the volume, but then the transition's music is way loud. Thanks!! :D

[erkrystof]

@mrderekcu Will definitely work on normalizing the audio, my apologies!

[ChefWannabeToo]

great vids keep them coming.

[optimistONE]

Keep doing what you are doing because I am learning so much from you. Great examples and explanations as always. Thank so much! :)

[erkrystof]

Thanks, optimistONE, very much appreciate the comments, putting up the second part of this as I type, hopefully done processing in a few hours!

[mattyfly4fun]

nice edit dude...ailerons need diff rates for up and down, what rates do you reccomend

[erkrystof]

Unfortunately Matt, one person's high rate is another person's low rate. In the past I've used 60-70 % and then gone up/down in 10 % increments, then once I zero in on a 10% range, I cut it by 5%, gradually cutting down until I zero in on something I like. As for different rates for up aileron vs. down aileron, I don't think my TX supports that directly, but you could look at what is called 'travel adjust', which lets you control the end points of a servo (top and bottom) before dual rate

[erkrystof]

is even applied. I haven't covered that specifically since it's kind of a next step after dual rate, but look for that in your transmitter setup and see if that helps. It lets you define different values for your top and end points, regardless of any d/r or expo you use. it's not something you setup via a switch, it covers the whole model memory slot of that craft.

[flyby8906]

That was one nice explanation on dual rates and expo. You truly know how to capture ones attention great video.

[erkrystof]

Thanks, flyby. I'll have the second part (expo) uploaded tonight. Thanks for watching!
