| OK.. what the first two guys are saying without saying is, there is no way of knowing if your curves are correct or not. Start with a pitch gage. I will assume you are a complete noob or you probably would be past this question. This is my suggestion, and everyone will have one for you.. but this works;
Start with getting all of your linkages set up properly and use a pitch gage, and make sure everything is square, straight, and linear with the stick at center and pitch & pitch gage at zero degrees. Now, move the stick all the way up and set your pitch at +10 degrees. Move the stick down and set your pitch at -10 degrees. This is a baseline, and your curve should be 50% at center and somewhere around 0-10% at the bottom and 90-100% at the top. If not, fiddle with it until it is. Forget the percentages for now.. Until you are comfortable with hover and easy forward flight, set your pitch up as follows for normal;
-5 at bottom, +5 in the middle, and +10 at the top. Fill in the other positions to make a straight curve. Regardless of what anyone else says, this will give you a smooth hover and you will be able to spend more time concentrating on the cyclic movements.
For the Throttle curve with a hyper, you should be somewhere around 45% in the middle, 100% at the top, and fill in the curve a straight line. If you set the throttle higher, you will probably overspeed during translational approaches. Your head speed should be around 1550 - 1600rpm for learning. Any more than that is unnecessary. Once you are very comfortable with curcuits, then you can thing about changing your curves to match your flying style, but no need to until then. With this set up in the "learning curve", you will be able to do loops, rolls, stall turns, and any other beginner's moves, and you will have a stable hoover.
Hello; Heliproz?... I need to order more parts. |
