I am 80 years old and just got back into rc. Your are the only person who has explained d/r and expo in a way that I can follow. Well done a great teacher.
Dr. Expo, I'm 64 and just switched over to Spektrum 2.4 and I was trying to figure things out, and I'm by no means a techie. I got to tell you, your video for DX6i D/R and Expo was a big help! Now I have a better understanding of what the hell is going on. Thanks and FLY ON!!!
you guys are all inclusive...from rank amateur, raw newb info, to intermediate onto "for the expert" additional info presentations. the clever garb and whatnot sets you apart, as well, imho. thx for making us newbs less intimidated and well entertained, in the process. kudos to you and keep the vids coming :)
Out of all the explanation videos out there,yours was best! I went out and got me a Dynam Waco Biplane ( Yay for BiPlanes) I had a hard time figuring out what the heck I was doing wrong. I needed more travel on my Airelons but couldnt figure out why I wasnt getting the travel. It was because I didnt have my rates adjusted properly. I feel like an idiot now. I was using rates in 0 as the lower number and the 0 in Expo as the higher number. And I couldnt figure out where Expo was.duh. Of course I was using Rates 1 as higher number and 1 Expo as higher number. What an idiot... Thanks to you,I now have my settings correctly. I did figure how to set all switchs to one instead of individual switches. Now if I could just figure out how to get my gear switch to shut off my damn navigation lights.
point be, and Horizon has been awesome in giving the hobbyist reference points. You do what ever works the best for you, thats why there is so much information available. Keep flying high my friend and thanks Aaron.
Hello not sure if you still answer to this, thank you for your info. I recently started flying 3D with 0 experience. I don't belong to a club and i have to figure the whole thing out also new to spektrum. Is there a good middle setting where the plane won't go vertical when you bump the elevator. I'll watch the rest here maybe I'll get my answer! 👍
This video is still the best video to explain what expo and rates do. I wish that plane was still available. Sadly, the dx6i cannot handle expo or rates programming without going into a brown out. I no longer use my Dx6i for anything but the Small planes that do not use expo. I wouldn't trust a dx6i ever again to fly expo or rates.
Thanks, Mike did a great job! I assign my rates to the aileron switch as well. Two position flaps are another feature folks miss out on with this radio. Set up is very similar.
AWESOME! This video was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO elpful for me when I had to set dual rates to ONE switch on my Turnigy Teksumo and HobbyKing Stinger Mark 2 64 EDF!
Very helpful, Thanks I'm gonna combine mine now also. So do you ever download the settings from Horizon to your DX8? That's what I've done but may try this approach.
Thanks very much. I suffer from shaking with my left hand. And got to the stage i was going to pack in flying my helicopter all together.Iv put the setting into my dx6i But not tried it as yet, As the weather is not too good,But now i know what D/R and expo does thanks very much.
The only thing i've ever used a download for was to update the dx8. I have had no problems with any planes where I couldn't figure out what the aircraft needed. The only plane that kicked me in the backside was the parkzone se5. Once I set expo it became a dream to fly. Every plane is different. My buddy and I will buy the same plane at the same time, you can pull them out and each one will fly a little different and take different adjustments. The hard part is where should the initial start
Great video, you have made it so much easier to watch it being done than to read it .. But reading it is good .. the manuals can be a bit confusing at times.. SUBED
Thanks young man. Very nice. But are you able to tell me something? I have converted Spektrum DX6i from Mode 2 to Mode 1 and when I tried to test fly my heli I found that the main rotor trims have changed. When I accelerate the main rotor for lift-off, the servos are behaving out of order. Upon speed increase the main rotor tends to pull left as seen from behind the heli, and when I decrease speed the rotor tends to pull right as it stops. This is more noticeable by watching the erratic tilting of the stabilizer bar. In other words, when both units are switched on, the swash plate is not flat on stand-by, then as I increase the revolution speed of the main rotor the right side of the bar tends to lift up and the left side lowers (tilt) itself. Something has gone wrong with the heli, despite that the DX6i responds properly with the conversion but I don't seem to know if it has also affected the dual rate or, what do you call it when a heli flies upside down with the use of the Mix Switch? Do you know the reason the DX6i and the Blade 400 are now enemies? Do I need to follow your instructions on Dual Rate, or that has nothing to do with the Mode change? So much said about doing your own conversion and then there are unexpected problems with the operation of the heli servos. But I wonder why did they do 2 Modes, why not stick with one Mode and that is Mode 1 because of it's simplicity? Are they going to make another Mode so even dogs can learn how to fly with a new Mode called Finger? It would probably be my last time I will ever buy a Spektrum. Their customer support is really disappointing.
I assigned the dr functions to my elevator dr switch and the rudder isn't following suit. I tried assigning it to he aileron dr switch with the same results. Do you have any idea why the rudder isn't going along with the program?????
Hey thanks. This is a generic way of explaining dr/expo but setting these set-points is a great place to start. Please facebook us and let us know how your doing. Thanks again.
you sure do have alot of lipos just laying around. get a metal flame proof containment for those of get home or renters insurance. I care about you and your life....

It's like Air Marshall before there was an Air Marshall. Well done Capt. Mike.

This is something that took me for ever to get right.
Best tutorial ever! I've watched two others before yours and with yours I got it 100%! Well done!
This has been the easiest to understand explanation that I've found, thanks!

Thanks for making this video. I use D/R and expo all the time on my DX6i but I never knew it had the combined feature.
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject and I understood your explanation on this. Thank goodness I found your videos. Thank you Dr expo! Lol
point be, and Horizon has been awesome in giving the hobbyist reference points. You do what ever works the best for you, thats why there is so much information available. Keep flying high my friend and thanks Aaron.
Awesome explanation of the Expo's. I needed it! Thank you for putting in the time to teach this.

Thank you so much! Your video cleared a lot up for me. New to the DX6i.

Another thing you can try is adding tension to the gimbals. In the manual there is a section on how to do this. It might help too.
Thank you, Dr. EXPO.
He doesnt bother watching this any more, he is Captain Dan on Motion RC now
Thank you, really helpfull. I did understand the meaning of it, but had no clue how to set it correctly on the transmitter. Really helpfull, thanks!
Thanks Mike great video well explained

can I just put my DR's and Expo on my 3 F-Modes?....thanks

Ahoy Mick, I first have to ask did you move the throttle friction from the left gimbal to the right?
I assigned the dr functions to my elevator dr switch and the rudder isn't following suit. I tried assigning it to he aileron dr switch with the same results. Do you have any idea why the rudder isn't going along with the program?????
Thanks man I get it now
This helped a lot thanks
You’re very welcome
Does dual rate take up a channel and does safe mode take up a channel I was asking because I just got a Trojan t28 1.1mm
No
I assume if flying quadcopter it is about the same?
Cecil Beach Yes it will be the same.
Very informative and nicely explained!
Whatever happened to captain Mike?
He left

👍
👍🏻👍🏻
i need to do this...stat
you sure do have alot of lipos just laying around. get a metal flame proof containment for those of get home or renters insurance. I care about you and your life....
WTF is that outfit?
Looking at that shelf display, he must have very good home insurance.
where did you get that hat? Doo rag? You're confused boy
It’s what people in the medical field wear, hence doctor expo, boy
