GLOSSARY
It will be helpful to understand the following terms before reading the rest of the manual. The terms are not in
alphabetical order, but are in a logical order that prepares the reader for understanding the next term.
Reversing (servo reversing)
-
A function that allows the user to determine the direction of response of each servo. If,
after hooking up the servos, a control on the model responds in the wrong direction, the user may change the servo's
direction so the control responds correctly.
Throw -
When speaking of a control surface (such as an elevator or aileron), the throw is
the distance the surface moves. Control surface throw is usually measured at the trailing
edge of the surface and is expressed in inches or millimeters. The model in the diagram has
1/2" [13mm] of up elevator throw. Throw can also refer to the distance a servo arm (or
wheel) travels.
Dual rate (D/R)
-
On the T6EAP the dual rate switch allows you to instantly switch, in flight, between two different
control throws for the aileron, elevator and rudder. Often, different control throws are required for different types of
flying. (“Low” throws may be required for flying at high speeds where the model's response becomes more sensitive
and “high” throws may be required for aggressive aerobatic maneuvers or landing or flying at lower speeds where the
model's response becomes less sensitive.)
End point adjustment (E.P.A.)
-
Sets the overall, maximum distance the servo rotates in either direction. (No matter
where the dual rates are set, the servo will never travel beyond the limit set by the end point adjustment.)
Exponential
-
Normally, servos respond proportionally to control stick input from the transmitter (e.g., if the stick is
moved halfway, the servo will move halfway). However, with “exponential,” the servo can be made to move more or less
than initial stick movement (less servo movement is more common). Exponentials are commonly used to “soften,” or
decrease initial servo travel for the ailerons, elevators and rudder. This way, initial control stick inputs from the pilot
result in small servo movement for a smoother flying airplane.
*(Dual rates adjust the
amount
of servo travel. Exponentials determine
where
most of the travel will occur.)
Mixing
-
Two (or more) servos can be made to operate together either by mechanically joining the wires (with a Y-
connector) or by electronically “joining” them through programming functions in the transmitter. When servos are
electronically joined via programming, they are said to be “mixed.” Unlike joining servos with a Y-connector, when
servos are mixed electronically they can be made to move in opposition. Additionally, each servo's end points can be
independently set.
