Helicopter Only Programming; Normal Throttle Curve Function (N-Th)- (Heli Only) - FUTABA 6J Instruction Manual

7) Press the SELECT button one time to bring up the point two (2) pitch curve adjustments. Again, use the
DATA INPUT lever to adjust the values accordingly.
8) Repeat the steps above as desired for the remaining three points on the pitch curve.
9) Move the assigned throttle/pitch curve switch to the opposite position and program the desired points
accordingly.
10) Press and hold the END button to exit the programming mode.

Helicopter Only Programming:

The information which follows is only applicable to helicopter (HELI) models. If you are programming an
airplane (ACRO) model, please skip ahead to the Fail Safe information which is applicable to both airplane
and helicopter model memories.

Normal throttle curve function (N-TH)- (HELI only)-

The throttle curve (T-CV) function is designed to optimize the engine, or throttle response, in relation to the

the throttle movement.
A 5-point throttle curve is utilized to best match the blade collective pitch to the engine RPM for consistent
load on the engine. Throttle curve can be adjusted from 0-100% each point. This normal throttle curve
creates a basic curve for hovering. Use this function together with the normal pitch curve (see Normal pitch
curve) so that the engine RPM remains fairly constant regardless of pitch changes.
While each helicopter manufacturer will have specific recommendations for your flying style, generally
speaking, the points should be adjusted as follows:
‡ Point 1 is shown initially which is throttle stick all the way downward (slow) position.
‡ Point 2 is the throttle stick approximately ¼ of the way advanced.
‡ Point 3 is the throttle stick approximately ½ of the way advanced.
‡ Point 4 is the throttle stick approximately 3/4 of the way advanced.
‡ Point 5 is throttle stick all the way upward (hi) position.
To set the normal throttle curve:
1) Turn the transmitter on.
2) Press and hold the MODE button to access the programming mode.
