AFR 

The angle and curve of each operation function can be set. [All model types]

AFR function is used to adjust the throw and 

operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch 
functions for each 

À

ight condition. 

This is normally used after End Point has de

¿

ned 

the maximum throw. When mixing is applied from 
one channel to another channel, both channels 
can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting the 
operation rate through the AFR function.

ŏ

 Operation curve adjustment: Three types 

of curves (EXP1, EXP2, and Point) can be 

selected. A maximum 17 points curve can be 

used for the point curve type. (Initial setting: 

9 points) The number of points can also be 

increased and decreased and curves from 

complex curves to simple curves can be 

used.

ŏ

 Operation speed adjustment: The operation 

speed of each function when the function 

is operated (including at flight condition 

switching) can be adjusted. The function 

operates smoothly at a constant speed 

corresponding to the set speed.

ŏ

 Select [AFR] at the model menu and call 

the setup screen shown below.
