| John,
My memory of the EVO servo calibration is not very clear, but what you describe sounds similar.
A simple way to say what I want is that I want the radio that can make bad control surface geometry look like good control surface geometry from the user perspective with the use of one simple screen.
I don't have a good idea schematically how it would work, but from a user perspective, I would like to be able first "linearize" each control surface, going from one absolute of travel to the other. That is, I would give the radio a map of what is needed to make the surface move proportionately to the channel throw.
Then, when I add expo, differential, dual rates, flaps, or any other mixing, I would like to know that the radio will not introduce any unwanted (unasked for) assymetry or non-linearity in the surface movement. It seems like this would be possible, since it knows from the first step exactly what is required to produce linear throw, so it should know how to produce expo,etc.
What I am running into with my current radio is that I can find various kluges to make the radio work in a given flight condition, but when I make a change such as expo, I get unexpected results.
I hope this is a little clearer.
