3. The AR635 receiver includes pre programmed dual rate values that cannot be adjusted We recommend setting your TRANSMITTER dual rate values to 100 for both high and low rates Any TRANSMITTER Dual Rate or Expo values you select will be used in addition to the pre programmed values For example if you select 75 low rate in your transmitter the actual value will be 75 of the low rate value in the receiver If you need to adjust the transmitter dual rate you can do so as long as the value is between 50 100 IMPORTANT Transmitter dual rate values must be between 50 and 100 for the AS3X system to work correctly Remember 50 in the transmitter is equal to 50 of the receiver dual rate Changing Between High and Low Dual Rates Flight Modes The AR635 receiver uses the Gear channel Channel 5 to change between High and Low Rates Flight Modes If you are using a Spektrum DX4e transmitter you will use the ACT AUX switch to change between High and Low Rates Low Rate Gear switch 0 e High Rate Gear switch 1 Sport Aircraft We recommend using higher gain values for Gear Down slower air speed Use lower gain values for Gear Up faster air speed 3D Aircraft We recommend using higher gain values for 3D Flight Slower air speed and larger control surface throws Use lower gain values for General Flight Faster air speed and smaller control surface throws If you notice the control throws on the aircraft are less than you w
