Servo Reversing; Dual Rates - FUTABA 6EXAP Instruction Manual

2.Once the desired model number is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT key. A NAME
will appear on the screen.
3. Choose a character for the first digit by using DATA INPUT lever. Then move to the next digit
by pressing the SELECT key and choose a character in the same way. Continue choosing
characters for the third and fourth digits. You can use up to four characters for the name.
REVR Servo Reversing REVR Servo Reversing
The servo reversing function is used to change the direction that a servo responds to a control input from the transmitter
(stick, dial or switch). After using the reversing function, check all
in the correct direction and that you did not inadvertently reverse a servo other than the one intended. Reversing the wrong
servo (and not checking the response of the controls before each flight) may be the most common cause of a crash!
To reverse a servo: To reverse a servo:
1. Enter the programming mode and use the MODE key to access the REVR
2. Use the SELECT key to select the channel you wish to reverse.
3. Push the DATA INPUT lever downward to reverse the servo (REV), or push the lever upward
to make the servo operate normally (NOR). The arrow will indicate the condition of the servo
(normal or reversed). In the diagram channel 1 (aileron) is " normal " (not reversed).
4. Use the SELECT key to display other channels to be reversed.
Dual Rates / Exponential Settings Dual Rates / Exponential Settings
The aileron, elevator and rudder dual rates on the 6EXAP are simultaneously activated by the dual rate switch. The amount of
travel decrease for each control may be set between 0% and 100% of the values set for the end points (explained in End
Point Adjustment on page 12).
Note: It is possible to set a dual rate value to zero, thus causing no response from that channel. If the dual rates are Note:
inadvertently set to zero, a crash could result.
Note: When performing initial model setup, the E.P.A.s should be set prior to Note:
E.P.A.s for the first time on a new model, the dual rates should be set to 100%.
D/R Dual Rate Settings D/R Dual Rate Settings
To set the dual rates: To set the dual rates:
1. Enter the programming mode. Access the " D/R
2. Select the channel to be adjusted (1-aileron, 2-elevator, 4-rudder) by pressing the SELECT
key until the desired channel number the left side on the screen. Note: If a " EXPO
appear on the screen, you have pressed the SELECT key too many times and displayed the
values for the exponentials (explained later). Press the SELECT key to return to the dual rate
values.
3. Place the dual rate switch in the desired position for the value you wish to change.
(Generally, pilots prefer to have the switch in the " up " position for the high rate, and in the
" down " position for the low rate.)
4. Change the dual rate value using the DATA INPUT lever until the desired control throw is achieved. If you wish to change
the control throw when the switch is in the other position as well, flip the switch, then use the DATA INPUT lever to change
the throw.
5. Repeat the procedure for the other dual rate (channel 2-elevator, 4-rudder).
