9503 Throttle Curve
Guys,
I've been tinkering with the throttle curve as my gasser continues to be horribly non-linear. I like my throttle mechanical set-up and I like my tach readings at WOT and idle. So my approach was to find half throttle via the tach to at least get that point on my curve and proceed accordingly.
The embarrassing part is I can't for the life of me cancel, erase or eliminate the curve to start over again in the transmitter! Something is messed up and I just wanted to start over again...anybody know how to cancel or turn off the curve? I'm not interested in inhibiting it...because I need to at some point get back in there and set another one up.
While your at it any reflections on how you approach a throttle curve set-up would be intersting too. I love my DA50, and I know the carbs on most of these gassers are terribly non-linear...but mine is super bad! I get hardly any throttle increments up to half throttle and then one (or two) detents of throttle on the stick and I'm pretty close to WOT...I may have another issue going on; not sure.
I probably should have mentioned first that I set the current curve up when the engine was fairly new and havent messed with it since. The engine now has probably well over 100 flights on it and is surely all broken in etc. so I had been thinking that I could tweak the throttle curve settings and thats how I got myself into this mess!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have,
Tom

My Feedback: (5)
Run the highlight around the screen with the selector until you get to POINT-L, press the selector bar and then press the CLR button to the left of the screen. This will reset POINT-L to 0% which is its default. Do this for the other points. POINT-3 default is 50% and POINT-H default is 100%. The default for the other points is INH.
I don’t own a gas engine but I had experimented once with using the throttle curve on a glow. I set the curve so there was a linear relation between the stick and rpm. I didn’t like the way the plane reacted. I haven’t used the curve since.

Aworrest,
Well that was easy! Too easy...
I was looking so hard for a way to turn it off, but in reality, the throttle curve screen is always on its just that the defaults are set to linear. This gives me the new starting point I was looking for so thank you for that fine sir!
