dual rates on rudder gy611

[radek]

waht do you guys use to slow down the pyro rate, i set the dual rate on 14mz to 40% but the linkage still goes to the end of the linkage just slower. am i supposed to use atv?

With all of the Futaba AVCS gyros you can not tell what they are doing on the ground.
You have to fly it to see the difference in the air.
Setting the dual rate will work.

When you are in HH mode, on the ground, if you just move the trim a couple of clicks or the stick just a tiny bit it will drive the servo all of the way over to the limits. This is how it is supposed to work.

What is happening is that you told the gyro that you want the heli to yaw at a rate determined by the stick position.
The gyro then tells the servo to move a little in that direction, when the gyro does not sense the commanded yaw happening because the heli is sitting still it just keeps giving more and more rudder trying to overcome whatever is preventing the heli from following the command.

If you are wanting to slow down the rate to how fast or twitchy the rudder is you have to change that with expo.

I am learning the chaos and I just put the rudder stick all the way to the left and controll pitch, the pyro rate is too fast and I cannot keep up with cyclic. I kind of want to set the end point and am trying to fiqure out if I use dual rate or atv or what,

ATV or End Point controls Piro Rate.

Well you want to be able to speed up and slow down the piro rate. No matter what maneuver your trying.
My personal opinion is that if you have what you think is the max piro rate you will need for one maneuver at full deflection. Then if you need to speed up the piro rate at any time during that maneuver. There will be no way to do it.

My opinion is to have the fastest rate you like at full deflection for every maneuver. Then just hold the input you need for the maneuvers where you want it slower.

for the time being it its much easyier to hold the left stick to the left while practicing cyclic corrections. eventually I will not need to change rates for a chaos but for now it seems to be much easyier to correct a slow pyro chaos than fast one
