Rate Profiles
Rate profiles define the relationship between stick position and aircraft rotation speed.
Rate Profile Types
Fidelity X supports multiple rate profiles:
| Type | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Betaflight Rate | Compatible with Betaflight, easy migration |
| Actual Rate | More intuitive, directly set max angular rate |
Betaflight Rate
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|
| RC Rate | Base rate | 0.1 - 3.0 |
| Super Rate | Stick endpoint gain | 0.0 - 1.0 |
| Expo | Center zone curve | 0.0 - 1.0 |
Parameter Effects
- RC Rate: Affects overall response, especially center zone
- Super Rate: Affects max speed at stick endpoints
- Expo: Reduces center zone sensitivity
Actual Rate
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Center Sensitivity | Center sensitivity (°/s) | 50 - 500 |
| Max Rate | Max angular rate (°/s) | 200 - 2000 |
| Expo | Curve exponent | 0.0 - 1.0 |
Advantages
- More intuitive
- Directly set max angular rate
- Independently adjust center sensitivity

Tuning Tips
Center Too Sensitive
Increase Expo:
param set ROLL_RC_EXPO 0.3param set PITCH_RC_EXPO 0.3param saveNot Enough Roll Speed
Increase Super Rate:
param set ROLL_SUPER_RATE 0.8param saveYaw Twitching
Reduce Yaw rate:
param set YAW_RC_RATE 0.8param saveMigrating from Betaflight
If you’re migrating from Betaflight, you can use the same rate settings directly:
- Select Betaflight Rate type
- Enter your RC Rate, Super Rate, Expo values from Betaflight
- Save settings
