Default On 14SG what is Curve/Rate & Curve/Point?

The manual is awful. It tells you 1000 times how to use the Sensor touch to scroll but doesn't tell you what the items are for that you want to change... The pitch curve rate...what is that in relation to the pitch curve point???? I see 2 columns with numbers I can change but what do they do? I guess you can tell I'm new to this radio, coming from a FUTABA 9CHP I thought programming would be at least similar.

The second set of numbers for the curves let's you move the corresponding "point" up or down the curve closer to or further away from a neighboring point.

Take a set of curves for a Castle ESC where you're running Set RPM gov mode. Your normal mode curve is probably 0-30-30-30-30. Well, you can take the point of the first "30" (25) and reduce the value to say 5. Take a look at the curve and watch how much longer the flat portion of the 30 curve is now.

Maybe that will help you understand how the curves can be customized.

So from my understanding of all this... the first column or "CURVE RATE" is equal to the points on the vertical column & the second column or CURVE POINT" is the actual throttle or pitch curve on the horizontal column. So if I give less than the +100 or -100 on the first column would be the same effect as an end point limit. Is that correct?

I guess I never looked that deeply into it. You basically have a traditional 5 point curve if you don't change the location of any of the points in the second column.

Thanks Bob, I think I got it now. Time to set my curves & test out the theory!
