Radio settings for expo and atv's for 3-d
Hello guys,
I just wanted some info on setting my atv's and expo's. Right now I have ATV channels 1,2,4 set at 80% and my expo's set at -30 on channel 1,2,4. When I start to do loops or flips which is a pretty basic aerobatic skill they are pretty huge loops and some time on the botton side of the loop I find my self needing room for error for the ground. I was wondering if I set my ATV's on the above channels to 100%+ for more travel (watching on how much binding this causes if there is any) will this tightin my loops. I have a cheap radio futaba 6xhs but this is the one i learned on so I feel pretty good with it. My engine is a OS 61 WC which is more than enough power. My heli is a raptor 60 V2 with Quick fiberglass blades. Any info will be good thanks guys..

turn those atv's up , if you add more travel you will get tighter loops , i woud set up dual rates if you have them on that radio. if not just add a little more expo and you will get the same feel. yeah that raptor set up should flip with elevator and should airleron roll nicley.

don't go by an atv percentage, go by how much throw you have.
6-7 degrees of cyclic throw is as much as anybody uses. use a pitch gauge and go by that.
