  • Expo just discovered

    I'm trying to get my head around it.
    Can you tell me your value of expo to give me an idea?

    Cheers

    20% on cyclics and 25-30% on tails, some fbl systems have there own expo built in and you must remove it if you want to use it from your tx.
    You really need to try it and feel whats right for you as other people may like more or less, but maybe try 10-15% to start with.

        Cyclic: 10 on my mini protos. Zero on mcpx and had zero on 250.
        Tail: about 30% on mini, -50 on mcpx (that actually speeds it up a lot) and had 50% quark default on 250.

        I don't like too much expo. Try it on the sim you will have a very good idea what it does.

          Any ideas if you should use TX expo on a 3GX or is it done in the controller?

            It's 100% down to what you like and it also depends on your equipment/setup.

            For Spektrum / JR systems you use positive expo to slow down response around center, for Futaba you would use negative expo to achieve the same effect.


            Most pilots tend to run a little expo to slow down around centre, but this is not always the case of course.


            With flybarless systems I like to add expo through the flybarless system, not by using the radio. Technically either way should work fine.

              Remember that different brands value expo differently. For example, +50 on spectrum gives the same result as -50 on futaba.

              I have about -25% on my cyclic to make it less twitchy around centre stick.
