Since I've been out of robotics for a while, I don't really recognize this "dual rate function". Tried a quick search and what I can see is that you get more out of a servos movement? Please update me if I'm wrong.
That is about it.
The dual rate function limits the travel of aileron,elevator and rudder.Effectively,when activated,it would make the robot slower to drive.Handy for a beginner with a fast robot,maybe??( Not that useful to us,but very handy with a feisty helicopter buzzing around your head!!)
My transmitter arrived today and it looks really nice, for what i paid for it it seems to be well worth it. it is rather plasticy but seems to be quite nicely made inside. im a little confused about the binding but hopefully i should be able to handle it (it says hold down the left stick, but for me it seems to only beep when i hold down the right stick?) yeah, it seems really nice

When I power mine on with the left stick held in,I get a constant beep,and the led is constant,until I let go of the stick.Then the led blinks,with no sound,while waiting to bind.
and a couple of compatible receivers from robotbirds ?8.75, probably not the smallest or lightest available but about the same size as the hitec HFS- 05MS and 4.4g which is about half the weight http://robotbirds.com/catalog/product_i ... ts_id=5883
the mixing in the dx5e only powers the motors at half speed when going full speed forward, so it can speed one up to turn, but this isn't a problem for me as my robots were all way too fast (especially R.O.N.N.Y) to drive at full speed so this makes it more manageable
My Hobbyking order arrived today! Actually three Hobbyking orders arrived today!
3 separate orders,from as far back as March 31!!
MARCH 31st!!!!!!!!!
At least I have some bits to play with now.
4 servos and 2 receivers for me this morning there is a new postal service from them marked as royal mail that is much faster for the same price as standard air mail.
