GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Set up Normal Flight Condition
Throttle/Collective Pitch Curves and
Revo.
Base point: Adjust base point of throttle
curve until engine idles reliably on
ground. Adjust base point of collective
pitch curve to achieve -4 degrees of
blade pitch. Apply throttle until the
model sits 'light' on its skids. Adjust
base point of REVO . until model does not
rotate its nose at all.
Hover point: Adjust collective pitch
curve to +5 degrees. Ease heli into a
throttle curves and rudder trim. Repeat
until model hovers smoothly at half
REVO . points 2 and 3
until the model does not rotate its nose
up on throttle application.
High point: Adjust collective pitch
curve to +8 to +10 degrees. From hover,
throttle up rapidly. If engine bogs,
increase the throttle curve. If engine
over-revs, increase the collective pitch
curve at points 6 or 7. Apply full throttle
while hovering, then descend back to
hover. Adjust REVO . until the nose does
not change heading.
Where next?
Note: Be sure to add the step of setting a trigger point by cursoring to THRO , then putting the THROTTLE STICK in the
desired position and pressing and holding the dial for one second. Notice that this function cannot be reversed to trigger
only above the stick point.
STEPS:
Open the THR-CURV/NOR function.
Open the PIT-CURV/NOR function.
Open the REVO. /NORM function.
Adjust THR-CURV/NOR .
Adjust PIT-CURV/NOR .
Adjust REVO. /NORM .
Adjust THR-CURV/NOR .
Adjust PIT-CURV/NOR .
Adjust REVO. /NORM .
GYRO function: see p. 85.
Adjust HOV-THR and HOV-PIT if needed: see p. 83.
Setting up Throttle Hold: see p. 79.
Setting up idle-ups 1, 2 and 3: Throttle and collective pitch curves and revo.

D/R , EXP : see p. 30.
THROTTLE CUT:
The THROTTLE-CUT function is used to kill the engine at the end of a flight.
The engine can be stopped with one touch of any switch, eliminating the need
helicopter THROTTLE-CUT
little above idle). You must move the THROTTLE STICK back below the set
point before the THROTTLE-CUT function can be reset, to avoid sudden engine
acceleration. For a detailed example of throttle cut setup, see ACRO p. 29.
