Position 1 = normal: Used for startup, take-off, landing, and typical fl ight profi les.
Position 2 = idle-up 1: Used for aerobatic fl ight
Position 3 = idle-up 2: Typically used as a secondary setup for aerobatic fl ight.
Make sure all mechanical linkages are connected exactly as specifi ed in the helicopter’s instruction manual.
Make sure the model’s full throttle position can be achieved when the throttle stick is at maximum defl ection.
The throttle trim must be able to minimize throttle control completely when the throttle limiter is at idle position.
Follow all other instructions for THROTTLE CURVE as explained on page 12.
THROTTLE HOLD
Throttle hold allows full use of collective pitch while setting the throttle at a user pre-determined position.
This function is often used for autorotation. The pilot can then release the hold and regain full control of
the throttle as needed.
With the cursor over “Position”, set a percent of full throttle that the throttle channel will defl ect to automatically
when the control switch is moved to the ON position.
The CTRL line is for setting the ability to turn this function ON/OFF with a switch. Selecting “INH” inhibits
this function from operating. To select a switch to turn throttle hold on or off during fl ight, set the Control
fi eld to ON. With the cursor next to CTRL, defl ect the switch that will control throttle hold. In one position
the control will be ON. Moving the switch to the opposition will turn the control OFF.
PITCH CURVE
The method for setting the pitch curve is the same as for the throttle curve as explained above, by moving
the throttle stick and using the same controls within the pitch curve screen.
PITCH CURVE HOLD
The setting method is the same as for throttle and pitch curve.
SWASHPLATE RING
Depending on how certain mixes are set and mechanical linkages are connected to the swash plate, it’s
possible that the mechanical connections can accidentally be damaged or dislodged if they are forced to
try and move past their own limitations. By adjusting the maximum amount of travel the aileron and elevator
channels can move the controls away from center, this SWASHPLATE RING function can help prevent
damage from occuring to controls inside the model. At the default 150% setting the controls are not limited,
and effectively turns this function off.
Once inside this screen, press
ENTER
to highlight the “Rate” value. Press
or
to fi nd the desired
maximum rate. The circle graphic represents the maximum movement rate. Moving the aileron and/or elevator
stick to their limits will cause the actual position of the these controls to show at the bottom of the screen.
THROTTLE MIXING
This mix is used for non-heading hold gyros or when a heading hold gyro is in normal mode. The helicopter’s
throttle channel can be mixed to the tail (rudder) channel. This mix can remain active at all times, or be
controlled by selecting a switch on the CTRL line. Move the cursor to select the rate to adjust, press
ENTER
and then
or
to adjust the value. To reset any mix value or clear a switch selection, move the cursor
to the value, press
ENTER
, and then press
CLEAR
.
SWASH MIXING
This mix is not available when using the “1 Servo” swash setting. This function adjusts the mixture rate of
the pitch, aileron, and elevator channels for the swash plate. Move the cursor to the value to adjust, and
change as necessary.
