Is anyone as dense as I am?
I started to set up my planes on two new transmitters for the 2008 season. I discovered that when you set up the Expo function, it doesn't set it up on both the high and low rates. You have to set up the Expo on both the high and low rates for both the elevator and aileron. I wondered in the past why I launched just as squirrely on low rates as the high rates where I had set the Expo. The old dog ain't too smart but isn't too old to learn. I just figured there might be a few more out there that didn't know this needed to be done.

<br />My solution to that is never fly JR.[;)]

Very true Alex. I can't keep from over controlling when I get excited without -50% Expo. Not flying RC until after I retired and then going into combat the next year was tough on this old dog. I could tame down the throws so the planes only fly like a trainer but that would make me an easier target than I already am.[;)][:I]
If you don't fly JR <i>and</i> don't use expo, it's even simpler!
Or you could just live in a cave[:D]
Seriously though, why does Futaba think expo is negative, you are adding expo, not taking it away. JR/Spektrum
Wrong thread but nice pictures Alex in the MA article. I feel famous now as everyone at my renegade field was congratulating me on it yesterday.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">First of all I fly JR so positive expo is no problem BUT if I look at the Futaba perspective, you are REDUCING the travel around stick center so why wouldn't it be logical to call it NEGATIVE.
After all you are subtracting movement so, if you reduce travel by half that should be -50% right???

I have no idea how JR explains this other than the note. I like the Hitec explanation, and it makes sense graphically too!
OH well.
I too learned this a few years ago by accident. I use Hitec.
