Servo Reversing; Dual Rates - FUTABA 6DA Instruction Manual

ELEVATOR AND AILERON DUAL RATES
• A "dual rate," or second, lower rate,
on the model's ailerons or
elevators can make the model
easier to handle at higher speeds,
while keeping plenty of
responsiveness available on the
high rate when flying at slow
speeds such as landing.
• Check the model's instructions,
and determine if the manufacturer
has provided desired low rate
settings for aileron and elevator.
Pull the elevator rate switch to the
down position and adjust the
elevator dual rate pot to reach this
desired throw. Repeat for aileron.

SERVO REVERSING

• Servo Reversing is a feature that
allows you to correct the
direction a servo travels without
mechanically changing the
linkage in your model.You simply
flip a dip switch on your Flight
Set Adjustment Control Center
and the polarity of the servo
control reverses.
• Check the direction of all servo
operation and reverse any servo
as needed. For example, if the
rudder moves left when right
rudder command is given, then
move the servo reversing switch
for channel 4 from NOR to REV.
Check that the rudder now
operates properly.
