Title: exponential rates Post by: amir on August 05, 2009, 12:43:09 AM what are recommended exponential rates for 3D and patter flying ?
i want it on my YAK 54 with os 55 ax Title: Re: exponential rates Post by: anwar on October 10, 2009, 07:29:58 PM Expo is always a matter of personal preference, and is highly dependent on the flying characteristics of the aircraft you are flying. I guess that is why no one really took time to respond to this earlier, as there seems to be no ONE answer to something like this.
Slightly off-topic, I always found that expo is a better way to deal with a wild aircraft than using dual rates. Title: Re: exponential rates Post by: harikeshpk on October 10, 2009, 09:51:37 PM i case of your yak a 50% expo on the rudder and elevator is a safe bet to start with on 3D. you may then decide to increase or reduce as the case may be during your test flights for expo check.
Title: Re: exponential rates Post by: anwar on October 11, 2009, 09:27:02 PM While it is mostly a matter of personal preference, isn't expo on ailerons generally more important/helpful than expo on elevators/rudder ?
Title: Re: exponential rates Post by: sushil_anand on October 12, 2009, 12:45:52 PM Presumably because, for 3D, the rudder and elevator are used the most (and of course throttle).
I do not fly 3D but find expo on rudder very useful - particularly on tail draggers - for improved ground handling. Title: Re: exponential rates Post by: anwar on October 12, 2009, 12:55:38 PM Yep, true for 3D. But I would assume wild throws on ailerons may still take the fun out, even for 3D flying.
Title: Re: exponential rates Post by: sushil_anand on October 14, 2009, 01:08:31 PM Wild throws on ANY control would have that effect!
And I too prefer expo to dual/triple rates. |
