the back of this manual.
For normal curve, usually use [Point] type
and create a basic pitch curve centered
about hovering. Use this function together
with the THR curve (normal) function and
adjust the curve so that up/down control is
best at a constant engine speed.
For the high side pitch curve, set the
maximum pitch which does overload the
engine. For the low side pitch curve, create
curves matched to loop, roll, 3D, and
other purposes and use the idle up curves
according to the performance.
The throttle hold curve is used when
executing auto rotation dives.
*Up to 17 points can be set for the point curve types.
create a curve, a simple curve can be created by reducing
the number of input points to 3 or 5, and then entering the
