Yep, the physical distance the left stick moves in vertical way.

Yes, it is only the rudder channel that doesn't have dual rates or expo. But, it is possible to mix the rudder with one of the aux channels to give it dual rates if needed.

Ken

How are you doing this?

I'll have to see if I can find it again. Somewhere back in this thread it was posted how to do this. I'll look for it and see if can find it.

Status: offline 		Select aux1 or 2 as your rudder dual rate switch. Example: Select etc. Page down until you see (MAS 1). Select RU. Page down. You see SLV 1. Select RU. Page down. You see 0%. Select +50 with the rudder to the right and +50% with the rudder to the left. Now turn your receiver on and move the rudder to full and while holding it there move the aux 1 switch up and then down.Watch what happens to the rudder. You'll get the idea then and can set things up the way you want.

Be careful to check every thing when you do this. My son accidentally coupled down elevator to up throttle while setting up elevator to rudder. The result was total loss of the plane.

I fixed my post 903 issue this way.

Thanks for covering me. I haven't had a chance to go back through and look for the post.

Just checked and all of my Transmitters are that way, Futaba, Airtronics, and Hitec. Less throttle stick travel than elevator, aileron, and rudder sticks.........RJ

Thank you very much, RJ.

Apart from this Airtronics I only own a Multiplex one, which has complete travel for both sticks, so I wasn't sure if this was right (suspected it, as the radio didn't show the TH-Hi warning when turning on with throttle stick at lower position).

True for Futaba and Airtronics, but my Hitec Optic 6 has equal stick travel for elevator and throttle.

Status: offline 		Thanks, your post on rudder D/R is quit interesting. I'm going to try it.

Does anyone know of a way get exponential on the rudder? Just out of curiosity does anyone know way they have been leaving it out on all their radios? It sure would a nice thing to have.

The reason we were told a while back, (not in this thread) was that there was no room on the circuit board.
You can get Expo and Dual Rate on the rudder by using the Heli program with your plane. I have done this on my .40 sized profile Ultimate. I just copied it from the airplane program. Worked great. You do lose the dual elevator function and flaperons though. I like them two features for my giant scale models so I stick with the airplane programming. I've also become really smooth on the rudder with no expo.

Status: offline 		Does anyone out there trickle charge their RDS8000 after charging? I charge over night and use the Lil Trickler. I recently noticed that the voltage is dropping to below 9.6 on tricke if it has not been charged in a week. I could leave my JR;s and old Airtronic on trickle for months after a full charge and they were ready to go. Any ideas? I just noticed this

Also, it looks like the 2009 Tower catalog has wiped all Airtronics stuff from the pages.....? Not that it matters I guess, but most hobby shop
