heli Flight Mode menu
Transmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in. Programming F-MODE refers
to the Flight Mode that you would like to change the programming for.
The tables below show the default Pitch Curve Point and Rate values. Settings shown in parentheses are the default
percentage values when those Points are Activated by the user.
POINT DEFAULT RATE
1
2 INH (-75%)
3 INH (-50%)
In the default configuration the Pitch Curve is Linear. For example, when you move the throttle control stick from 0% to
100%, the elevator, aileron, and pitch servos will travel from 0% to 100%, too.
Choosing the Flight Mode
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight PI-CURVE, then press the ENTER key to display the PI-CURVE menu. The
cursor will default to POINT>5.
2) Press the F-MODE key to choose the F-MODE number you would like
to program the Pitch Curve function for. Choose from N, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The F-MODE (N) display will change, indicating which Flight Mode
you are programming the Pitch Curve function for.
Changing the Pitch Curve Point Values and the Rate Percentage Values
Nine different Points with varying Rates can be programmed onto the Pitch Curve. Each Point will be displayed on the graph to give
you a visual interpretation of the position of the Point on the Pitch Curve. The Point that is currently selected will blink.
WARNING Keep in mind that it's possible to set the Pitch Curve Points higher or lower than the pitch End Point Adjustment.
For example, with the pitch End Point Adjustment set to 100% and POINT>9 set to 150% the collective servos will move more
than 100%. We strongly recommend that you set your Pitch Curve Points no higher than your pitch End Point Adjustment unless
specifically necessary for your particular setup. This will prevent any chance of overdriving your control linkage.
IMPORTANT In the default configuration, Auxiliary Lever (VR5) and Auxiliary Lever (VR6) control the high (Point 9) and low
(Point 1) points of the Pitch Curve, respectively. For example, you can manually adjust the high and low points of the Pitch
Curve during flight to fine-tune the adjustments. Before changing the Pitch Curve Point values and the Rate percentage
values, make sure that both Auxiliary Levers are centered (in the center detent).
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight POINT>5.
2) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to choose which Point you would like to
set a Rate percentage value for.
POINT setting range is 1 through 9. Point 1 is at the low end of the Pitch Curve and Point 9 is at the high end of the Pitch Curve.
Point 5 is a the center of the Pitch Curve.
