It will be helpful to understand the following terms before reading the rest of the manual. The terms are not in alphabetical
order, but are in a logical order that prepares the reader for understanding the next term.
Reversing (servo reversing) - A function that allows the user to determine the direction of response of each servo. If, after Reversing (servo reversing) -
hooking up the servos, a control on the model responds in the wrong direction, the user may change the servo's direction so
the control responds correctly.
Throw - When speaking of a control surface (such as an elevator or aileron), the throw is Throw -
the distance the surface moves. Control surface throw is usually measured at the trailing
edge of the surface and is expressed in inches or millimeters. The model in the diagram has
1/2" [13mm] of up elevator throw. Throw can also refer to the distance a servo arm (or
wheel) travels.
End point adjustment (E.P.A.) - Sets the overall, maximum distance the servo rotates in End point adjustment (E.P.A.) -
either direction.
Exponential - Normally, servos respond proportionally to control stick input from the transmitter (e.g., if the stick is moved Exponential -
halfway, the servo will move halfway). However, with
stick movement (less servo movement is more common). Exponentials are commonly used to
servo travel for the ailerons, elevators and rudder. This way, initial control stick inputs from the pilot result in small servo
movement for a smoother flying airplane.
Mixing - Two (or more) servos can be made to operate together either by mechanically joining the wires (with a Y-connector) Mixing -
or by electronically " joining "
electronically joined via programming, they are said to be
