  • Page 34 STEP 7-4 FINAL SERVO AND RADIO SETUP 9. Throttle Curve It is very important to match the throttle curves to those of the main blades. The rotor head should not exceed 2.900 RPM under any circumstances. NOTE: Throttle curves values can vary greatly due to Brushless Motor and ESC combinations and so it will be necessary to fine tune these settings by test flying to achieve the best results.
  • Page 35 STEP 7-5 FINAL SERVO AND RADIO SETUP Caution: Be sure to maintain a safe distance of at least 5 meters from the helicopter when observing the track of the main rotor disc. Blade tracking ensures that both of the main blades are set to the same pitch angle, and if done correctly will make your helicopter smooth in operation. Out of Track Adjustment is necessary Caution: Be sure to maintain a safe distance of at least 5 meters from the helicopter when observing the tracking...
