Throttle Hold - E-flight Blade SR RTF Airframe Instruction Manual

Also, when switching between the normal and stunt flight modes, it is best to do so in the air while flying or
transitioning to forward flight. There may be a slight change of rotor speed while switching modes, so be aware of the
possibility of a slight altitude change. Please be sure to never switch into stunt mode without having powered the main
and tail motors up in normal mode first. The abrupt start could cause damage to the gears, motors or possibly even
the 2-in-1 unit.
The stunt mode throttle curve midpoint adjustment (SM TCM ADJ) knob is located on the forward top left panel, next to
the flight mode switch. This knob allows you to adjust the midpoint value of the throttle curve when in the stunt/idle up
flight mode. It has no affect on the throttle curve in the normal flight mode, or on the endpoints of the throttle curve in
the stunt/idle up flight mode.
The SM TCM ADJ knob offers you the ability to adjust the main rotor head speed, and in turn the collective and cyclic
control response of the model between the endpoints of the throttle curve in the stunt flight mode. Typically, a higher
main rotor head speed will result in quicker collective and cyclic control response around middle stick.
For example, when you have the knob in the lowest, most counterclockwise position, the main rotor head speed in
hover (and during transition from positive to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be lower than it is when at the top or
bottom of the throttle/collective stick range.
When you have the knob in the highest, most clockwise position, the main rotor head speed in hover (and during
transition from positive to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be similar to when you are at the top or bottom of
the throttle/collective stick range. This is generally preferred when flying in breezy conditions, and for the quickest
collective and cyclic response. It is also helpful when performing aerobatics like loops and rolls as it will help to
maintain more consistent main rotor head speeds. This also allows for more consistent tail holding power because the
torque and main to tail motor mixing changes will be minimized throughout the throttle/collective stick range.
Note: Because of the stable settings of the Blade SR, the stunt mode is non-aggressive and basic aerobatics
should be flown for the first time with plenty of altitude until you are accustomed to the control response.

The HP6DSM transmitter features a throttle hold (TH HOLD) switch. This switch allows the pilot to toggle between
throttle hold off (position 0) and throttle hold on (position 1).
When the throttle hold switch is toggled toward the rear of the transmitter (position 0), throttle hold will be off. When
throttle hold is off, the transmitter will be in the normal or stunt flight mode (depending on the position in which the F
MODE switch is set).
