Expo Question

[G-Bru]

Alright Fella's

Can I use Expo using one of the presets eg. Extreme preset?

I have read somewhere on the Beast forums that by doing so you are in fact multiplying the preset Expo by whatever expo you are adding in your radio resulting in snappy or un-desireable stick inputs?

Thanks in advance.

I believe your deduction is correct. That is not to use any expo with any of the presets apart from "transmitter" as they all include a degree of Expo already.
I run mine on the transmitter setting and use expo bit have not tried any of the presets so don't really know for sure.

It's simpler to use the transmitter than use the pre-sets. Just land and tweak in the tx. You can achieve mild to wild using expo and dual rates.
Fast sport flying my Knight uses 75% DR 30% expo flies great.

I don't bruv, there are a couple of dudes on the Freaks that say you can, so just a little confused.

Each to their own I suppose.

BTW, your 700 flight is uploading as I type this bru!

For those of you who where unsure or confused (like me) regarding the use of expo in any of the presets, here is a reply I got from Stefan Hornstein - BeastX Support:

"Yes of course you can use expo in all presets. By doing so you only change the stick signal coming to the MB to some kind of curve and not linear anymore. Mid stick will always stay 0 and the MB only see's the signal coming, it does not care about how you are steering the sticks, that's your problem.

So why should this confuse the MB? You are the one who is confusing yourself. The problem is the following:

In the presets there is already some expo there - in normal and sport very much - and so when additionally using a high value of expo this can feel very strange (e.g. in a broad range around mid stick there is no reaction and then it will suddenly react on the outer stick range).

You will not change the expo in the MB when adjusting it in your transmitter and you will not add expo like 25% in the MB + 20% from the transmitter makes 45% overall. That will not work. It's more like mixing two curves together and getting a new weird curve that is no expo curve anymore. So the expo in the MICROBEAST will only feel as true expo when getting a linear signal from the sticks."

In summary you can use expo just don't use a whole lot especially if using the Normal & Sport presets.

So one the one hand hes saying you can use expo then on the other he is saying you will get a wierd expo curve?
Doesn't really clear things up much.
Thanks for posting anyway.

Confusing isn't it! Guess its just German interpretation.

If ur gonna use expo, why not just set the beast to tx rather than using presets, I think this is best. Just my ten cents worth

Agree. this is how I'm using it. Just adjust expo and dual rates to get the feel you want for each flight mode.

Yeah I know guys, thing is, Extreme preset feels great already, just need to put in some minor tweaks and its spot on.

I really should stop being so lazy and do as you suggest really!
