I am interested in learning how to set up a throttle curve. Both of my planes are very touchy from zero to quarter stick.
I was thinking I should start by getting full throttle rpm's then curve the throttle so 50 percent stick is 50 percent rpm's and 25 percent stick is 25 percent rpm's. Is that correct? I don't think that power curve of gas engine is entirely linear thou. What do the experts have to say?
Which transmitter? Throttle curve available? Simple expo likely won't do the trick.
No power system is linear. I recently tweaked and am still not quite there with an electric set-up, and gas also required a pretty substantial throttle curve.
I saw your post on the other thread, so you're moving in the right direction... rpm vs thrust discussion.
I am nobody's expert, but I am leaning toward a throttle curve for calm and windy days, with "cruise" speed at mid stick. And maybe allso adjusting rates and expo as well. So easy with the radios to copy models and season to taste!
