[. . . ] For example you would like to take off and fly on a lower rate with the switch in the #1 position and for landing you want a faster rate on position #2. This will give you 25% less movement than the faster rate on position #2 making position #1 your low rate and #2 your fast rate for landing. Repeat the same for Dual Rate Ailerons by moving the cursor to the AL D/R. Use the ( INC+ ) or the ( DEC- ) to raise or lower the percentages from 0 to 150%. EXPONENTIAL ELEVATOR AND AILERON ( EXP ) Exponential allows you to change the amount of movement the servo has compared to the stick movement. For example, when you move the aileron stick left or right the servo will move at the same rate as the stick when expo is set at 0. When flying your aircraft with 0 expo, you will have the felling of 1 to 1 or a linear fell. By increasing the expo to about 40% you will change the amount of servo movement compared to the amount of stick movement. When adding expo you will see that the servo will move slower or less amount in the middle to 40% of your stick movement. This will soften the fell of your ailerons around the middle area of the stick but will still give you full servo movement at the end of the stick. Use the FUNCTION keys to move the cursor the EL EXP or AL EXP and press the INC+ key to add expo. A good starting point for aileron expo is +25% and use +5% for elevator. NOTE: using Negative expo will make your ailerons and elevator more sensitive in the middle stick area which will make the aircraft reactions very fast. Adjustment is from +100 to -100. Page 14 VG6000 END POINT ADJUSTMENT ( EPA ) EPA will allow you to increase or decrease the total amount of travel the servo has. EPA is available on all channels and should only be used to fine tune maximum servo movement. All of your linkages and control surfaces should be as close as possible to the model specifications before decreasing or increasing EPA. A good example for EPA would be when you want to use 2 aileron servos on 2 different channels and you want to setup both to have the same amount of throws to each other up and down. NOTE: You must have the FLAPERON feature activated in order to use 2 sperate aileron servos. Next use the CH/TIMER key to change to the channel you want to set your EPA. Next move the stick in the direction you want to increase or decrease and take note the arrows on the LCD screen. Adjustment is from 0 to 150% in each direction. SERVO CENTERING ( CENT ) Servo centering to a great feature when it comes to setting up a new model and or setting your servo arms to right at 90 degrees. When using servo centering, take note that it will change not only the center position of the servo but as well change both left and right end points. Example, you installed a servo arm on your servo but it will not lineup perfectly 90% to the servo. [. . . ] The VG6000 will not lose any memory even if you were to remove the main battery. All your setting are saved in a eprom chip that does not need any type of battery to hold its memory. ELEVATOR TO FLAP MIXING ( EL-FL ) Elevator to flap mixing can be used in several aircraft. Sailplanes like this feature when they are making a turn it will drop the flaps slightly to help generate a little more lift. Power aircraft will benefit this when making landing approaches and when flaring the aircraft just before touch down. [. . . ]
