Default I give up...

I'm programming my new 12Z on an aerobatic model. I have been through the manual a half-dozen times, and through the radio menus a dozen times.

I CANNOT find anything relating to control surface exponential. I want to slow down the response, from center, of the ailerons and elevators, softening the controls, as it were. I'm sure its staring me in the face, perhaps under a different name (servo speed?).

In the AFR/Dual Rate menu, there is an EXP1 and EXP2 mode, but when I set that, every time I touch either the joy stick or wheel/enter button, it goes back to LINEAR.

I'm really at my wit's end here; what am I missing?

Default RE: I give up...

Another member PM'ed me on how to get it to stay on EXP1; I wasn't holding the enter button down long enough.

But I don't think this is what I'm looking for. I get that the Rate A/Rate B values are for AFR. Under these is EXP A/EXP B, but when I change them I see no discernible difference in control surface response. Plus, the changes stay constant regardless of which condition is selected.

On the 9Z, you could adjust expo for each channel in each condition.

So, again... what am I missing??? I really feel retarded having to post these questions, but what can I say...

Here are the FAQ pages: http://www.futaba-rc.com/faq/index.html

You'll find that the FAQs for the 12FG, 14MZ, and 18MZ will likely do the job. Other than how you scroll to the different entry fields, they are all basically the same, as far as programming goes.

To set exponential, select EXP1 or EXP2. Dial the number to a negative value. -50% is a good place to start for both values.

To have the changes be effective in only one condition, you must select the condition, go to the second page of the AFR and change "GROUP" to "SINGL", and then set the EXP values you want for that condition.
