3. Check that your throttle goes to the desired hold position by flipping the Flt. Cond. switch
one way and the other. Adjust the number as needed. Be sure to choose an engine speed
that's fast enough to keep the engine from accidentally quitting but slow enough to not engage
the main rotor clutch.
THCV — Throttle Curve
The throttle & pitch curves are tied to the position of the
collective stick, and are specified at five points labeled 1 through
5 below. These "curves" are really straight lines connecting the
settings at the five points, and are defined by assigning servo
movement percentages to five positions of the left stick: lowest =
Point 1, the 1/4-up stick position = Point 2, half-stick = Point 3,
3/4 position = Point 4, and top position = Point 5. With the
numbers as input as shown, the servo would move 50% of full
travel to one side at low collective stick position, and 50% of full
travel to the other side at high stick position.
You can get a linear response by making the five settings
line up as shown above. But if you want another shape, you're
free to do it. You can "flatten out" or "soften" the curve around
hover as shown here. This is handy for making the control less
sensitive around hover.

1. Press one of the
Up Down Edi t
linear curve, a straight line from 0 to 100% passing through 50% at hover (center, point 3).
