THROTTLE-NEEDLE

THROTTLE STICK inputs for perfect engine tuning at all throttle settings. This function is particularly popular with
or installations with a high tank position. Not needed for fuel injection engines, which do this automatically.
Adjustability:
• Five-point curve allows adjustment of engine mixture at varied throttle settings.
• The CH8 knob adjusts the high throttle mixture (may be deactivated. see AUX-CH ).
• Because both use CH8, this function cannot be used simultaneously with AILEVATOR .
• An acceleration ( ACCE ) function ( ACRO only) helps the engine compensate for sudden, large amounts of throttle input by
making the mixture suddenly richer, then easing it back to the proper adjustment for that throttle setting. This function
on rapid throttle input.
• Separate curves are available ( HELI only) for normal, idle-ups 1 and 2 combined, and idle-up 3. Immediately below MIX
the radio displays the curve you are editing; ex: >NORML ; and then which condition is currently active by your switches
ex: ( ID1/2 ). Note that you can edit the mix for a different condition without being in that condition, to allow editing
without having to shut off the helicopter's engine every time. Be sure you are editing the proper curve by checking the
name after the > and not the one in parentheses.
GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Activate THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing.
Adjust the points as follows to resolve
a slight lean midrange problem:
1: 40%
2: 45%
3: 65%
4: 55%
5: 40%
( HELI )
STEPS:
Open the THROTTLE-NEEDLE function.
Activate the function.
HELI only. Select the condition to edit.
Adjust the travels as needed to match
your engine by slowly moving the stick
to each of the 5 points, then adjusting
the percentage at that point until the
engine is properly tuned.
