I used to fly heli's and the smooth throttle stick is something that I think would be good for hovering throttle control. I can slip a piece of fuel tubing over the ratchet spring in the radio and still get some drag, but very smooth drag. Anyone use this?
Why do guys bump the throttle during hover? Does that produce more torque than steady throttle, or are the bumps coordinated with elevator and rudder corrections?
Would it be possible to find a "hover throttle setting" and put it on the idle up switch or something?
I'm expecting a new Fut 9CAP today and now I've got gadgetitis, which is the uncontrollable urge to use every switch on the radio whether it's useful or not. I'll get over it in a week or so and deprogram all the crash switches. With the snow we've got here, I doubt I'll be able to fly for a week or so.
