Dual Rate ( D / R ) - FUTABA 9VAP Instruction Manual

ADJUSTMENTS AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
DUAL RATE
Dual Rate functions allow the modeler to switch servo travel limits in flight, thus varying
the control sensitivity for different flight conditions or maneuvers.
• Dual Rate functions are available on CH1 (Aileron), CH2 (Elevator), and CH4 (Rudder).
• Dual Rate ON (Low Rate) limits can be adjusted from 30% to 100% of full throw.
If servo travel is reduced by ATV, the D/R ON throw will be 30% to 100% of the limit set by ATV (in
•
D/R OFF). If AFR is used, the D/R ON limit is unaffected, and will be 30% to 110% of normal (full)
throw.
• Dual Rate ON limits can be adjusted independently in each direction from neutral.
•There are three D/R ON/OFF Switches. Control of the three D/R functions can be assigned to these
switches in any combination the modeler desires, or D/R functions can be switched ON and OFF auto-
matically according to the position of the Throttle stick.
•The ON/OFF directions of the D/R Switches can be reversed using the PARAMETERS program screen
(See page 43).
• In the AUTO D/R mode, the D/R functions can be turned ON and OFF according to the position
(adjustable) of the throttle stick.
•The Trimmer Panel has D/R sub trimmers for CH1 (AIL) and CH2 (ELV). The D/R ON limits can be
trimmed ± 25% of the amount set on the screen using these trimmers. The characters in (
right side of the screen (CH1 and CH2 only) indicate the actual set amount (the amount set with the
program keys ± the sub trimmer setting).

The D/R ON/OFF Switches are designated by
numbers as follows:
1 ... Aileron D/R
2 ... Elevator D/R
3... Rudder D/R
Each switch may be used to control one, two, or
all three D/R functions as desired.
7) Field adjustment of the D/R ON limits is
convenient using the AIL and ELE. D/R sub
