Hey,
On the Inspire 1 aircraft settings page in the Go app is the settings for expo and braking etc. above the braking setting is an attitude setting. Can anyone explain that one?

Thanks.

Its explained here

I understand from watching this video and Simon Newton's video that "attitude" adjusts the overall responsiveness or what Skywolf007 calls "aggressiveness." And I can see from watching Simon Newton's video that it clearly controls the responsiveness with regard to pitch and roll or the right stick. My question is does it also control throttle and yaw too? I guess I can try to test it myself, but I was just curious. It seems confusing to me because "attitude" in general aviation means the orientation of the aircraft with regard to the horizon. And here it seems to be the responsiveness of the aircraft in general. My question is: Does the attitude adjustment affect only pitch and roll or does it control pitch, roll, throttle, and yaw?

Any info appreciated.

When you test it, please let us know as I'm sure many of us would like to know.

Thank you for taking the time to explain these basics for noobs.

Your basic information is correct except the expo.  The expo adjusts the movement amount around the center. If you had no value put into the box (.0) this would be totally linear movement. Meaning you move the stick and the controls move 1 to 1.

The higher the positive number you put into the expo rate the softer the center feel and less movement around the center. (just like the graph shows you). once you leave the center then the control will exponentially move faster (more movement or control).

So Expo is to make the center control softer responding when you move the stick low number is faster movement and higher number is slower movement (only around the center of the stick travel).
exponentially definition
1.(with reference to an increase) more and more rapidly..

These controls help the pilot gain better control of the aircraft and softer movements will give you smoother video results.

   Rich, when you have a high number for ( above 50 ) Expo the Sticks Become MORE responsive   Near Neutral of the Sticks.  When you have a low Number the Sticks become LESS responsive .

Also at 50 is when you have linear Movement , If you were at 0 or let say 1 (you cant go that low on expo )  you would have no movement of the control surface  until the stick was almost touching the the side of the Gimbal Circle .  

Is that what you meant or am I Missing something.  

Above 50 More responsive to input.
Below 50 Less responsive to input .


Just trying to make sure I understand this as well, and I did test this on my aircraft servos.

There are two types of Gain :
{1}"Basic Gains"  Is how much power the aircraft will utilize to get back to level  horizontal flight  and maintain altitude and position.  The purpose is when you are in winds and being pushed around, you want your aircraft to be steady, if it starts oscillating or Hunting you want to turn the gains down if it drifts you want to turn the gains up


***{2} The Attitude Gain  is how aggresively the aircraft  will react when there is stick movement involved to correct for these external forces, once again you want it to be smooth and not overpowered.  There is a sweet spot and it is unique for each pilots flying style.  

Basically lower setting numbers will have the aircraft be a bit mushy BUT it saves power  Higher settings make the Aircraft more aggressive and touchy and uses more power.


The 1st gain could be called " Auto gain ' , the aircraft responds to the  external forces with no input from pilot.
The 2nd gain could be called  'Pilot Gain  , the aircraft responds to the external  forces from the pilots commands .

EXPO

    When you have a high number for ( above 50 ) Expo the Sticks Become MORE responsive   Near Neutral of the Sticks.  When you have a low Number the Sticks become LESS responsive .

Also at 50 is when you have linear Movement , If you were at 0 or let say 1 (you cant go that low on expo )  you would have no movement of the control surface  until the stick was almost touching the the side of the Gimbal Circle .  



Above 50 More responsive to input.
Below 50 Less responsive to input .


This is my understanding of Gains, Attitude,  Expo.


I hope this helps
