The Hovering Pitch function allows you to adjust specific Pitch Curve Points to fine-tune the Pitch Curve at any throttle control
stick position, not just the hovering position. The Hovering Pitch function is controlled by the Hovering Pitch Trim Switch (T6). You
are able to Activate and control one or more Points on the Pitch Curve. For example, you can Activate Point 2 through Point 8,
so that all the Pitch Curve Points can be fine-tuned, or you can Activate only Point 3 to fine-tune that particular Pitch Curve Point.
These adjustments can be viewed on the PI-CURVE menu graph to help you visualize the changes. In addition, the resolution of
the Hovering Pitch trim switch can be adjusted, using the Trim Step function, to ensure a high degree of accuracy. The Hovering
Pitch function can be programmed separately for each of the five Flight Modes.
