the throttle and collective are run together. when you increase throttle you increase pitch too. provided the pitch curves are set up right. they should be 0 pitch at idol, 5 degrees at mid stick [hover position] and 9- 10 degrees at the top. if it's a five pitch curve radio then split it up. same with the throttle and ajust from there. while you are test flying the heli. always land first, then make ajustments. even on your blade tracking.....good luck.........geeter.
