Reversing (servo reversing):
installation by allowing the user to electronically set the proper response direction for each servo.
Throw: When speaking of a control surface (such as an elevator or aileron), the
throw is the distance that the surface moves. Control surface throw is usually
measured at the trailing edge (back) of the control surface and is expressed
in inches or millimeters. The model in the diagram has 1/2” (13mm) of up
elevator throw. Please note that throw might also refer to the distance that a
servo arm, wheel, etc. travels.
Dual Rate (D/R): On the 6J 2.4GHz the dual rate switch allows you to instantly
maneuvers such as hovering, or when landing the model and the speed is slower thereby the model may not
be as sensitive. It is also important to note that lower rates are better for beginners, who tend to over-control
End Point Adjustments (EPA): Sets the overall, maximum distance that the servo rotates in either direction.
Exponential (EXPO): Normally, servos respond proportionally to control stick input from the transmitter.
That is, if the stick is moved halfway, the corresponding servo will also move halfway. However, with
exponential, the servo can be made to move more, or less, than the relative stick movement. Generally
speaking, exponential is used to lessen, or lower, the servo movement. Exponential is commonly used to
Control response is milder around half-stick, but becomes increasing stronger as stick travel approaches
100%. Exponential is great for aerobatics and trouble situations.
Please note it is important to remember that dual rates adjust the amount of servo travel whereas the
exponential adjustments determine where most of the travel will occur.
Mixing: Two (or more) servos may be made to operate together either by mechanically joining their leads
Y-connector, when servos are mixed electronically they can be made to move in opposition. Additionally, it
is possible to adjust the ratio at which the two channels are mixed.
