Setting up the Normal Flight Condition:
collective pitch curves are adjusted to provide consistent engine RPM despite the increase/decrease in collective pitch of
As the 2 curves and revo. mixing are all interrelated.
Note that the normal throttle, pitch and revo curves are all available. These may also be updated later in the menu with the
Note: The throttle and pitch curves for the normal condition are always on. They cannot be inhibited. The other four
• THR-CURV/NOR : inputs the normal ( NORM ) throttle curve, which is usually not a linear response to THROTTLE STICK
motion. Adjusting point 3 of the curve adjusts the engine's RPM at the THROTTLE STICK midpoint, the desired
position for hovering. The other 4 points are then adjusted to create the desired idle and maximum engine speed, and a

normal collective pitch curve is adjusted to match the throttle curve, providing the best vertical performance at a constant

the bottom in a hurry.
