CHOOSING A PITCH AND THROTTLE CURVES
You have many types of curves to
choose from for both Throttle and
Pitch. From the Home Page, press
Model Menu and then press PIT
Curve for your Pitch Curves or THR
Curve for your Throttle curves. You'll
have a word Linear on the right side of
the graph. Press Linear and you'll get
six different types of curves to choose
from. Spline is the curve that is most
adjustable. It will give you 9 points that
can be adjusted. Any of these 9 points
can be removed or you can create your curve settings. Press on Rate, use the Double arrowed (up or down) box on the right
side of the screen to move any selected point. The double arrowed (up/down) will move in increments of 5%, the single arrows
(up/down) will move the points in increments of .5%. To highlight a point in the graph you use the ">, < or >>, <<" to move up
or down the line to select the point you wish to manipulate. If you wish to remove a point, highlight the point and press Delete.
The Offset will move the curve up or down as you prefer.
THROTTLE HOLD
In Model Menu press Throttle Hold.
Throttle Hold is on the right side of the
screen.

activated by any switch.
The Gyro gains can be set to
automatically change when switching

settings you just programmed.
In the next column you'll see Type, it should say GY if you are using a Futaba GY series of Gyros, if not press for NORM. Next column
Rate should read AVCS if you prefer the gyro to operate in heading hold mode, if not press the AVCS and NOR will display for normal
mode. Also under the Rate column, this is where you will make the changes to the gyro gain. This number will need to be set for each
condition. When you press the percentage box, you'll get the double and single arrows pop up on the right side of the screen. Use
these to set the percentages required. (Double arrows in 10% increments and single arrows in 1% increments)
