Deleting reference points
To delete one of the reference points (1 to max. 4), use
the joystick to move the vertical line into the vicinity of
the reference point in question. As soon as the reference
point number and its associated value is shown on
the "Point" line (see screen image above), you can
activate the value fi eld on the "Point" line to highlight
it by simultaneously tapping the cd or ef keys on
the right touch pad (CLEAR) and then delete the value.
Complete the operation by briefl y tapping the center key
ESC on the left touch pad.
Smoothing the collective pitch curve
In the example below, sample reference points have
been set …
Reference point 1 to +50%
Reference point 2 to +75%
Reference point 3 to -50%
… as described in the last section.

This "jagged" curve profi le can be smoothed
automatically simply by pressing a button.
First – assuming a situation is confi gured as presented
above – tap the center
ESC button on the left touch pad
to deactivate the value fi
eld. Then use the arrow keys on
the left or right touch pad to move the marker frame in
an upw

Notes:
If the joystick does not coincide with the exact •
reference point, please note that the percentage
value on the "Output" line always relates to the
current joystick position.
As with the other screen images on these pages, the •
following screen shot shows a control curve created
purely f
or the purposes of illustration. Please note,
therefore, that the curve characteristics displayed
do not in any way represent real-life collective pitch
curves.

Unlike the "Channel 1 curve" menu, however, this
display relates only to the control curve of the throttle
servo: the "Channel 1 curve", on the other hand, aff
ects
all servos controlled via the throttle/collective pitch stick.
Note that the output signal of the "Channel 1
curve" menu thus functions as an input signal for
the throttle curve programmed here: In the graph,
the vertical line is synchronized with the throttle/
collective pitch stick and therefore follows the
current Channel 1 curve characteristic.
The throttle curve can also be defi ned (separately
