| Pitch Curve/Throttle CurveAs stated, it does take a few flights to get used to the "floaty" feel of one of these especially with the 810's!!!! But your set up will be a bit different then the nitro heli...
Find your hover position in the pitch curve and then work the positions below that a couple of points lower at a time and then try the heli out in a descent.... I am running a 10X and my pitch curve is set at: L= 6%, 1= 20%, 2= 26%, 3= 34% (hover), 4= 45%, 5= 59%, H= 90%.... I know the numbers will have no meaning but I am giving them to you as a reference as to how to smooth out your descent...so work your way down from the hover... it doesn't take much to make things happen with those "big" wide blades!!!!
And the same on the throttle curve, here are my settings:
L= 0%, 1= 30%, 2= 34%, 3= 36% (hover), 4= 42%, 5= 62%, h= 100%
Again the important part are the positions and how close they are from hover down.....
I hope this will help steer you in the right direction.... once you have it set properly, the hs will stay within 10 rpm of your settings and there will be enough "low" pitch for you to make a perfectly smooth descent without the engine sounding like it is shut off and plenty of pitch to "catch" it at the bottom.....
If you would like some actual pitch settings at these locations, let me know and I could open it up later and take some for you..
Also I would increase you hs to about 1200 to 1250 (no higher) that also makes a BIG difference on the handling of the machine and once you get the feel of it there, then you can go back down if you like...
Good Luck, Stan
If there is a cure for this, please don't tell me about it!!! |
