RE: Exponential versus Linear controls
MinnFlyer.... That is a nice article. I did notice though that you didn't get into hyperbolic cosine functions to explain the rotational servo arm effects! Showing the A-B-C bar graphs gets the point across well.
Augie11.... I agree with you about the "feel" issue. I made the changes after a lot of time on the Tiger 2 so it was bound to feel odd. The kinesthetic sense we get about our RC ships is pretty amazing. After flying a while, we know how much reserve lift there is, how it is flying, just as if the stick pressures are changing although they aren't! Years ago, the owner of the full scale Twin Otter my Scalemasters replica was based on saw me fly and he invited me to get some stick time in the real one. The full scale Twin Otter had the same "feel" or sensitivity as the model did.
