•
Normal: Collective pitch curve that results in points 1, 4 and 7 providing .4, +5, (+8 to +10)* degrees pitch.
A throttle curve setting of 0, 25, 36, 50, 62.5, 75, 100%.
•
Idle-ups 1 & 2: Idle-ups 1 and 2 are typically the same except for the gyro settings, with one being
heading-hold/AVCS and the other being normal mode. The pitch curve will likely be similar to the normal
curve above.
• Idle-up 3: Collective pitch curve that results in points 1, 4 and 7 providing (.8 to .10), 0, ( +8 to +10)
degrees. A throttle curve of 100, 75, 62.5, 50, 62.5, 75, 100 provide full throttle f or inverted maneuvers.
• Throttle Hold pitch curve: Start with the normal pitch curve (for inverted autos, start from the idle-up 3
pitch curve), but increase the last point approximately 1-2°, if available, to ensure sufficient pitch at landing.
This default recommendation assume s you are doing forward flight. If you are just learning, please follow
your instructor's guidance. Some instructors like a +1 base point for training so that the helicopter comes
down very slowly, even if your instincts pull the throttle/collective stick to the bottom in a hurry.
ADJUSTABILITY:
•
Normal condition curves are editable in the BASIC menu for convenience.
• All curves may be adjusted in the ADVANCE menu.
• Automatically selected with the proper condition.
• The idle-up curves are programmed to maintain constant RPM even when the collective pitch is r educed
during flight (including inverted).
•
To change which condition’s curve is being edited, cursor up to <COND> and change the curve named.
• For c larity, the name of the condition currently active (switched on in the radio) is shown in parentheses
behind name of condition whose curve is being edited. (Example: see curve displays below. Note that the
normal condition is active but the idle-up 1 condition’s curves are currently being edited.
•
Moving and deleting the curve point: The curve point (-stk-) can be moved to the left or right by t urning
the DIAL (up to 2% in front of the adjoining point) and deleted/returned by pressing the DIAL for one
second alternately.
•
Idle-ups and throttle hold pitch curves may be edited even before the conditions have been made active.
Activating their throttle curves activates these conditions.
5.3.2 REVO MIX:
This 5-point curve mix adds opposite rudder input to counteract the changes in torque when the speed and
collective pitch of the blades is changed.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Three separate curves available: normal for hovering; idle-ups 1 and 2 combined; and idle-3.
• Normal condition curves are editable in the BASIC menu for convenience.
• All curves may be adjusted in the ADVANCE menu.
• Correct mix is automatically selected in-flight with each condition and automatically activated when the
throttle setup for that condition is activated in the programmi ng (i.e. THROTTLE HOLD or THR-CURVE.)
• To change which condition’s curve is being edited, cursor up above POINT5 and select. For clarity, the
name of the condition currently active ( switched on at the radio) is s hown in parentheses behind the name of
the condition whose curve is being edited.
Revo. Mixing rates are 5-point curves. For a clockwise-turning rotor, the rudder is mixed in the clockwise
direction when collective pitch is increased; for counterclockwise-turning, the opposite. Change the
operating direction setting by changing the s igns of the numbers in the curve from plus (+) to minus (-) and
vice versa.
