5.3.14 CONDITION
Revo., curves for idle-ups are often v-shaped to provide proper rudder input with negative pitch and
increased throttle during inverted flight. (Rudder is needed to counter the reaction whenever there is
increased torque. In inverted flight, throttle stick below half has increased throttle and negative pitch,
therefore increasing torque and rotating the helicopter unless the revo. mix is also increasing appropriately.)
Additional flight conditions are available specifically for helicopters. These additional flight conditions
contain different throttle curves, collective pitch curves, revo. mixing, and trims (except IDLE-3) to make
the helicopter perform certain maneuvers more easily. Lastly, the gyro and dual rate functions may be set to
provide separate rates per condition selected, including one for each idle-up.
Additional idle-ups may be used to maximize the helicopter's flight characteristics in certain types of
flight (i.e. fast forward motion, backward) or maneuvers (loops, rolls, stall turns), or even the same
maneuver but changing from heading-hold/AVCS gyro mode to normal gyro mode. The AT9 provides 3
idle-ups to allow the modeler 3 additional setups along with the normal f light condition. (Note that IDL3
does not include governor settings.)
