The key to linkages is that you should set your servos to use all the available "steps" 1024-2048 using your servo arm length and control horn length to where on "High" rates, you use 100% of your stick movement to get the desired manover result.

Are you saying that with PCM systems it is better to have your servo move the full “normal” distance with the “high rate” set at 100% because you achieve 1024 positions in the “normal” movement of the servo, e.g. the most possible positions in the smallest total movement distance? In contrast to having the high rate set at say 130% and having each 1024 position result in more movement and less granularly. It would seem that with 1024 PCM radios the highest rate setting by default will always have 1024 positions and each lower rate will have something less than 1024, e.g. 50% low rate would only have 512 positions available. The thing I don’t understand is how the receiver knows to decode larger changes in the pulse width to the servo when high rate is set at 130% for a given change in the 1024 possible positions. Somehow the value of each 1024 position must be reestablished when a rate is set more than 100%. I’ve looked around on the Futaba site and other sites and cannot find an explanation.
