For quicker control response increase the ALIE and ELEV Travel Adjustment. Beginners should use the default values of 100%
Adjust RUDD Travel Adjustment to control the response of the rudder and the speed of pirouettes.
FMOD Switch – To switch between 6 axis mode and 3 axis mode when you assign these Device Output settings below.
Functions of the FMD Switch:
FMOD 0 = 6 axis mode. Red flashing LED’s on the Hoten X.

Set D/R and EXPO to your personal preference.
Standard Settings
ELEV D/R = 70% EXP +30%
AILE D/R = 70% EXP +30%
RUDD D/R = 100% EXP LIN
Beginner Settings
ELEV D/R = 50% EXP +35%
AILE D/R = 50% EXP +35%
RUDD D/R = 100% EXP LIN
3D Mode Settings
ELEV D/R = 110% EXP LIN
AILE D/R = 110% EXP LIN
RUDD D/R = 120% EXP -20 % > You can even try 150% for RUDD and more negative EXP for fast rudder response.
TRVAD
AILE – U & D 120%
ELEV – L & R 120%
RUDD – L & R 120%
Here is a list I made of common Dual Rate and Expo settings for Standard/Beginner/3D settings for Quads and Helicopters.
If you don’t like to use Expo you can set it to LIN.
LIN = Linear
Some radios use the term Line instead of LIN.
Spektrum – LIN
Walkera Devo – Line
Walkera 2801 Pro – LIN
Standard Settings
ELEV D/R = 70% to 100% > 70%, 80%, 85% are commonly used
EXP = +10% to +40% > +30% is commonly used
AILE D/R = 70% to 100% > 70%, 80%, 85% are commonly used
EXP = +10% to +40% > +30% is commonly used
RUDD D/R = 100% > For faster tail response and pirouettes (Heli) or faster rudder response and pirouettes (Quad) use 100% to 150%
EXP = LIN > For faster tail response and pirouettes (Heli) or faster rudder response and pirouettes (Quad) use -10% to -70%
Beginner Settings
ELEV D/R = +40% to +60% > 50% is commonly used
EXP = +30 to +40% > +30% is commonly used
AILE D/R = +40% to +60% > 50% is commonly used
EXP = +30 to +40% > +30% is commonly used
RUDD D/R = 75% to 100% > 100% is commonly used
EXP = LIN or +1% to +20% > LIN is commonly used
Ultra Beginner Settings
These settings are for hovering and slow flight only.
ELEV D/R = +30%
EXP = -10%
AILE D/R = +30%
EXP = -10%
RUDD D/R = 75% to 100% > 100% is commonly used
EXP = LIN or +1% to +25% > LIN is commonly used
A good combination would be to use the Beginner Settings on Switch Position “0”
and use the Ultra Beginner Settings on Switch Position “1”.
POS-0: ELEV D/R = 50% EXP +30%
POS-0: AILE D/R = 50% EXP +30%
POS-0: RUDD D/R = 100% EXP LIN
POS-1 :ELEV D/R = 30% EXP -10%
POS-1: AILE D/R = 30% EXP -10%
POS-1: RUDD D/R = 100% EXP LIN
3D Settings
ELEV D/R = 100% to 125% > 100% is commonly used
EXP = LIN or -10% to -70% > LIN is commonly used
AILE D/R = 100% to 125% > 100% is commonly used
EXP = LIN or -10% to -70% > LIN is commonly used
RUDD D/R = 100% > For faster tail response and pirouettes (Heli) or faster rudder response and pirouettes (Quad) use 100% to 150%
EXP = LIN > For faster tail response and pirouettes (Heli) or faster rudder response and pirouettes (Quad) use -10% to -70%
