Default Throttle Curve, Yours?

While I don't hover, I do like a constant power setting for most of my routine. I use a multipoint setting (5 points on Futaba). I find the RPM that I want the engine to run at and I set my 2nd & 4th points to hit this rpm. I then adjust my 3rd point to make sure the curve is basically flat. (Never have 4th higher than 2nd). Once this is done, I make any fine adjustments to the total speed with my D/R setting on my throttle. This has worked well for me in helping me be consistent in my use of power.

I too have to say that Owen and team put on a very good show. I was there for Saturday and witnessed flying skills that I would covet. I can't wait until the "2nd Annual 3D Invitational"
