Rate Profiles

Rate profiles define the relationship between stick position and aircraft rotation speed.


Rate Profile Types

Fidelity X supports multiple rate profiles:

TypeCharacteristics
Betaflight RateCompatible with Betaflight, easy migration
Actual RateMore intuitive, directly set max angular rate

Betaflight Rate

Parameters

ParameterDescriptionRange
RC RateBase rate0.1 - 3.0
Super RateStick endpoint gain0.0 - 1.0
ExpoCenter zone curve0.0 - 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

ParameterDescriptionRange
Center SensitivityCenter sensitivity (°/s)50 - 500
Max RateMax angular rate (°/s)200 - 2000
ExpoCurve exponent0.0 - 1.0

Advantages

  • More intuitive
  • Directly set max angular rate
  • Independently adjust center sensitivity

Tuning Tips

Center Too Sensitive

Increase Expo:

Terminal window
param set ROLL_RC_EXPO 0.3
param set PITCH_RC_EXPO 0.3
param save

Not Enough Roll Speed

Increase Super Rate:

Terminal window
param set ROLL_SUPER_RATE 0.8
param save

Yaw Twitching

Reduce Yaw rate:

Terminal window
param set YAW_RC_RATE 0.8
param save

Migrating from Betaflight

If you’re migrating from Betaflight, you can use the same rate settings directly:

  1. Select Betaflight Rate type
  2. Enter your RC Rate, Super Rate, Expo values from Betaflight
  3. Save settings
