Dual Rates - E-flight Blade SR RTF Airframe Instruction Manual

The HP6DSM transmitter included with your Blade SR features a dual rate (D RATE) switch. This switch allows the pilot
to toggle between the high (HI) and low (LO) control rates available for the aileron, elevator and rudder channels.
Toggling the switch towards the back of the transmitter (position HI) allows the control rates to achieve their highest
maximum values. This is typically the preferred rate for experienced pilots interested in more control response for
forward flight and basic aerobatic maneuvers.

Toggling the switch toward the front of the transmitter (position LO) allows the control rates to achieve their lowest
maximum values. This is typically the preferred rate for low-time and other pilots interested most in a reduced amount
of control that allows for smoother and more easily controlled hovering and flying.
If the Blade SR is your first single-rotor and/or collective-pitch equipped helicopter model, we strongly recommend that
you make your first flights with the dual rates set to low.
Note: In order to improve the overall control experience, a small amount of exponential (to reduce the amount
of control authority/sensitivity around neutral stick) has been programmed into the transmitter for both
the high and low rates.
