Dual Rates question

[tomatwalden]

Can anybody tell me the reason for this :

The Blade 130X has (published) dual rate settings of 100% for 0 and 85% for 1 (ie. less servo movement in idle-up mode)
The Blade mcpx has (published) dual rate settings of 70% for 0 and 100% for 1 (ie. more servo movement in idle-up mode)

I can sort of understand the 130x settings, since at a fast head speed (and probably faster flight) you want less throw from the servos, since high angles of attack are likely to cause blade stall with faster settings? (maybe - just my guess!)

I just don't understand why the mcpx settings are the opposite way around!?

Anybody got any ideas!?

because there's not as much of a change in head speed from normal to idle up on the mCPX?

I just had quick look at the 130X manual, could you possibly be referring to the ALR D/R and ELV D/R switches, depending on your TX these can have 0, 1 and 2 positions which can be activated separate from the idle up switch as standard. It doesn't really matter much what direction these go in, most users set this to what they prefer.

Cheers,

D/R settings are one setting, Throttle Curve is another. In the 130x manual it suggests Idle-Up 1 as 75% and Idle-Up 2 as 100% etc, you can set whatever D/R you like with each F Mode setting? How does that mean less servo movement in Idle-Up mode? Confused? Positions 0,1 & 2 in the manual refer to the D/R mode position not the F Mode, but then I am using a DX8.
