Notes to Self 3

[Wayne Galligan]

TIm,

On Futaba it is negative on the expo for the softer feel.
Must be opposite for the JR.    
Had a guy in the club do the same thing and he thought he was tail heavy when in fact he was dialing in MORE feel(sensitivity) to the controls.

  As our Continuing story unfolds........

  Timmy T is looking out of the shop door and sees that the weather is just perfect for some trim flights

  So we pack up the trailer and go for some trim flights. Recalling the last flights  all control throws too sensitive so I dial in less rates on low and put high rates to what low was before. Ok time to dial in some Expo on all surfaces, pop up the screen on the 9303 and dial in 30%. Ok time to fly. Airplane seems pretty stable now but the controls feel a bit "Twitchy" hmmm no problem continue the flight land and have a look. Ok maybe I didn't get enough expo dialed in so add some more. Next flight about the same but the controls seem a bit more "twicthy" hmmm something's not right here. Ok times up for flying for today pack up and head home. On the way home I get to thinking about the last flight and how the airplane changed the "feel" after I added the expo. Ok I get to wondering where the heck did I put the book for this new radio, Ok lets review the book on page A20 is the expo directions, it states "NOTE: Use only positive percentages unless there is a distinct need to do otherwise". Hmmmmmm that don't sound right! Turn the transmitter on and look at the expo I've got dialed into the radio, *&%^$*&#)(#&%^%)@(_*&_(^#  Everything is done to the NEGATIVE !!!!!! No damn wonder! So "Note to self" today's lesson is READ THE FRIGGIN BOOK !!!!!!!!!

  :)

  Ok while I'm at it lets program a little down elevator  trim at low idle, I wonder what page that is on in the book.................. "Fade to Black as Timmy T reaches for the book."
