if there is one thing i know about life and general knowledge it is this.... things are so much easier to figure out as long as you know the lingo. i am having a hardtime figuring out some of the abbreviations in my dx7 menus and also when i read these forums some of the talk. i have a trex450 se and this is my idea. if you read this and you have time put a word down that is common in radios, heli talk, rotor head pieces, whatever. then maybe we could get a little helicopter dictionary going on here. if you have time even explain a little about what it means maybe. i dont know, but i want to learn. i dont have any friends to fly with cause they just dont have the money :roll: . so im pretty much on my own and any help would rule. thanks guys.

What are you having trouble with?

EPA = end point adjustment
ATV= Ajustable Travel Volume
both mean the same thing, setting how far the servo moves in total throw.

DR or Dual Rate, a switch option that lets you set a lower percentage of throw than is available at full or high rate which is set by the atvs or epa.
