Default RE: Seagull Spacewalker II .40 ARF Control Throws

Will,

Could you help me with one issue I am having problems understanding. You stated earlier in this forum the following.

{QUOTE} "Set the dual rate for 50% and dialed in 40 for the expo all around. He preferred the high rates. Claims it handled more like the Spacewalker on G2."

I have a JR X-347 computer radio and have adjusted the control surfaces to 0° using the sub trim adjustments on the radio as I was not able to get the surface set exactly by adjusting the clevis at the control horn. You said in the quote above, to set the Dual Rate at 50% and the Exponential at 40%. Was the Dual Rate set at this percentage in order to obtain the correct throws as recommended in the manual or am I getting the wrong idea about all of this. As I understand it, Dual rate settings allow you to dial in the desired throw of a given control surface. (ie. 1/2" throw for Elevator, etc.).

I guess what I do not understand is what you meant by dialing in 50% Dual Rates. In addition, could you explain the 40% dialed in for Exponential.

Sorry for the ignorance on my part but I am trying to understand all that I can prior to actually flying this thing for the first time.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

John
