| Ok, so I have twice tried to change my pitch and throttle settings from what I have had since I started training to the one's suggested by Nate. If I go with the standard radio setup I found six months ago at www.raptortechnique.com/radiosetup.htm, my helo flies great. That is setting the pitch to -2 to +8 with 5.5 at mid throttle. There is minimal vibration near lift off and the helo is smooth and the rpm stays constant. I set the throttle curve at the default of 0, 30, 50, 75, 100. When I try to go to a linear curve with -4 to +8 with linear points in between and a throttle curve of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 like on the web site at www.natew.com/rcheli/frame_main.cgi/html.IdleX, I get nothing but problems. No matter how I try to adjust the throttle curve, the engine rpm is constantly changing, the helo has no power, it vibrates like mad around hover, even if I try to increase the throttle curve at mid stick, it just gets worse. What am I doing wrong...I have a Raptor 30, JR 8103, Os 32 with a Weston Tuned Pipe, GY 401 gyro and dig. tail servo...I have gone back to my original curves and the helo seems fine but I would like to move onto setting up Flight mode 1 so I can get into some mild aerobatics...thanks, Bill |
