I am a little confused about the flight modes for a CP helicopter. My current understanding is as follows
Normal mode. CP and throttle are controlled by the throttle stick. with throttle and cp a zero when the stick is fully down.
Idle up. throttle is no longer controlled by the throttle stick but stays at a constant rate (with a fine tune on a dial or slider). The Throttle stick controls CP only with negative pitch at full down, zero pitch in the middle and positive pitch at the top
Throttle hold. Throttle is switched of for auto rotations and as a safety switch.
My futaba set has the ability for three different idle up modes but I am not to worried about that yet.
Have I got this right. Especially normal mode or in normal mode is the CP at zero at 50% stick and below?
