Radio System FAQ
I want to know about triple rates in conditions and over-riding one channel within a condition for a higher rate.
There are several separate ways to create a triple rate on the 9Z: two dual rate circuits, a dual rate circuit and a mix, a dual rate circuit and a condition, and multiple conditions.
Two Dual Rate Circuits: If you do not need dual rates on 3 channels, you can use a second circuit to set up a third rate. For example, triple rate on elevator and no dual rate on rudder.
Set ATVs. (In this example, ATV is 95%. The difference between ATV and AFR)
| ___ | From home, press key O for Condition |
| ___ | Press B and then F to open ATV |
| ___ | Press B and then F to select elevator |
| ___ | Press C and then M then G 5 times to set 95%, setting up elevator to 95%. |
| ___ | Press D and then M then G 5 times to set 95%, setting down elevator to 95%. |
| ___ | Press N to End ATV. |
Set First rate: "high" or primary rate is AFR. For this example, high rate is 90% of ATV.
| ___ | From home, press key O for Condition |
| ___ | Press B and then G to open AFR |
| ___ | Press B and then F to select elevator |
| ___ | Press C and then G 10 times to set 90%, setting up elevator to 90%. |
| ___ | Press D and then G 10 times to set 90%, setting down elevator to 90%. |
| ___ | Press N to End AFR. |
Set Second rate: "low" or dual rate is set in D/R. For example, low rate is 60% of ATV.
| ___ | Press B then H to open D/R |
| ___ | Select Circuit A for first low rate circuit (dual rates aren't preassigned for aileron, elevator, rudder. You can use these D/R circuits for any channel, including, in this situation, to create 3 rates for one surface.) |
| ___ | Press A and then F to make active |
| ___ | Press B and then F to select elevator |
| ___ | Press C and K to set 60% to set the right elevator. |
| ___ | Press D then K to set 60% to set the left elevator. |
| ___ | Press O and select the switch you wish to activate this dual rate (you can also assign it to a stick at a set position). In this case, press A then Q then P, making this dual rate active only in the center position. |
| ___ | Press N twice to End. |
Set Third rate: "super low"or third rate is also set in D/R. For example, super low rate is 20% of ATV:
| ___ | Press B to open circuit B for your second low rate circuit |
| ___ | Press A then F to make active |
| ___ | Press B and then F to select the elevator channel |
| ___ | Press C and K to set 40% for the right elevator and D then K to set 40% for the left. |
| ___ | Press O and select the switch you wish to activate this dual rate. In this case, press A then P to confirm that position. This makes this rate active only in the down position. |
| ___ | Press N twice to End. |
That's it! You now have three elevator rates, set together on a single switch. Now set up your other desired dual rate.
Using a Mix: The mix option is a choice if you do not wish to use up one of your other dual rate circuits to create the third rate for the particular channel.
Set your ATV, AFR and D/R as described above (set ATV, first rate and second rate). Set the switch for the Dual Rate to the middle position only, as you did above.
Use a mix to create Third rate: "super low" or third rate. For example, super low rate is 20% of ATV:
| ___ | From Home press O for Condition menu |
| ___ | Press B then I to open Pmix menu |
| ___ | Press F to select mix 1 (or whichever key corresponds to your first open mix) |
| ___ | Press A then F to make active |
| ___ | Press B and then F to select the elevator channel |
| ___ | Press C and then F to make elevator the slave channel as well |
| ___ | DO NOT CHANGE Mix type, trim, or master mix mode |
| ___ | Press O for the next screen |
| ___ | Leave offset at 0 |
| ___ | Press C to select "up" elevator, then E to reverse the mix, making it detracting instead of additive |
| ___ | Press I to set 80% |
| ___ | Press D for the negative half of the elevator stick, then E to reverse the mix |
| ___ | Press I to set 80% (full travel of 100% less the desired actual throw of 20%) |
| ___ | Press N to exit the percent screen and P to enter the switch screen |
| ___ | Press A then P to select switch A and turn the mix on in the lowest position of the switch |
| ___ | Press N three times to exit the Pmix. |
Using a Condition: A condition allows you to edit nearly ALL parameters, rather than just set up a single rate onto the switch. However, setting up a condition is far more complex, and requires significant steps.
Set your ATV, AFR and D/R as described above (set ATV, first rate and second rate). Set the switch for the Dual Rate to the middle position only, as you did above.
Create a new condition and assign it to the third switch position. In part 3, select switch A and press P to assign the condition to the 3rd position of this switch. In part 4, name the new condition "trple" for triple rate.
BE SURE that you have this condition active by having the A switch in the lowest position. Remember, you can confirm what condition you are editing by looking at the top of your screen and checking the condition name.
Now adjust the AFR of the elevator IN THIS CONDITION. This will be the rate which responds when you move the switch A to the third position. (Remember, this is a whole new condition, so from here you could create a 4th rate, or you could put this condition's control on a different switch, and then have dual rates or even triple rates created on the A switch. The sky's practically the limit with the 9Z!)
| ___ | From home, press O for Condition |
| ___ | Press B then G to open AFR |
| ___ | Press B then F to select elevator |
| ___ | Press C then I to set up elev to 20% (ONLY WHEN switch A is in its lowest position). |
| ___ | Press D then I to set down elev to 20%. |
| ___ | Press End. |
Now that we have you thinking about conditions.....do you REALLY want three triple rates? Or are you trying to set up your aircraft, for example, to do 3D, and old habits have you thinking you need to throw 3 switches to get 'hyper rates' on all 3 surfaces? If so, we'd like to suggest you rethink this mind set. Instead of using up 3 dual rate circuits and 3 mixes and having to throw 3 switches to get to a really high performance rate (or a really low one, or otherwise specialized set up), consider instead creating a 3D (or a precision) condition and throwing a single switch which puts all your proper mixes, rates, exponentials everything at your finger tips in a single flick of a switch, AND expands your flexibility in that set up dramatically. Just create a new condition, be sure you're in it from the home screen, and go to town! Set the ATVs, AFR, expo, etc, to fit your needs.
