How do you set DR and Expo for heli models in 5.5?

[Wild Steelhead]

Hi,

I have RF 5.5 and am not sure how to set DR and Expo on the models. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Aircraft->Edit...->Software Radio->Channel1/2/4. Can set low and high rates.

Thanks, very helpful.

I was also trying the Hover Trainer. Is there a way to select what helicopter you use for that trainer?

Thanks again.

Menu (~ - tilda)
loadvehicle <model name>

Make sure you enter trainer first, then use the menu.

When I am in Hover Trainer mode I am not seeing an option for the menu, nor does anything happen when I press the Menu button on the Controller. I am running Windows 10 and not sure if that impacts anything.

Hitting ~ (tilda) on the keyboard (nothing to do with the controller or interlink) will bring up a command line window at the bottom of the screen into which you can type commands.

Windows version makes no difference.

That did it. Thanks.

I got expo and dr set on my dx9, so I should delete and set by Phoenix model instead?

Oddly enough, this is an RF forum

One or the other, but not both. DX9 DR/expo and none in Phoenix, or NO DR/expo in DX9 and per model in Phoenix. There are arguments for either case.

For DR/expo in DX9:
- Control settings like you would a normal model.
- Switchable DR/expo in flight on the TX.
- Can play with throttle and pitch curves and flight modes unavailable in the model settings.

For DR/expo in the Sim model:
- Each model can be set up individually (larger craft are more stable and may need less exp but more DR for roll/flip rates than smaller counterparts).
- Easier TX/sim calibration (as TX is DR 100/expo 0)

I prefer DR/expo in TX, but that is my personal preference.
