Factory Setting for Control Surface Travel
Factory settings for the DX5e transmitter are Dual rates set at
100% on high rate and at 70% on low rate. These dual rates
cannot be changed on the DX5e. All controls surfaces are set
for 100% adjustable travel volume (ATV).
The factory settings provide a moderate amount of control
surface movement. Clevises are installed in the outermost holes
of the control horns (away from the control surface).
Aerobatic Control Surface Travel
Note: The following rates are only recommended for use with a
transmitter that has dual rates and exponential functions.
The DX5e transmitter is NOT recommended for aircraft control
at these control surface settings. The DX5e transmitter does
not have programmable dual rate nor exponential. Without a
programmable dual rate or exponential, the aircraft can become
over sensitive to control inputs.
The settings below provide extremes of control movement. The
pushrods are installed in the outermost holes on the servo arms.
Clevises are installed in the innermost holes of the control horns
(near the control surfaces).
Extreme Setting for Rudder and Elevator
Servo Arms and Pushrods
CAUTION: The rudder and elevator servo arms must be
removed from the servo to move the pushrods.

40% on Low Rate for Ailerons, Elevator and Rudder
55% on High Rate for Ailerons
70% on High Rate for Elevator
45% on High Rate for Rudder
Note: Even with extreme control settings, we recommend
placing the flight battery all the way forward or at most slid
back no more than one inch.
