Default RE: Efficient/Powerful mix?

Hi there,

My setup depends on whether I am flying in a small gym or larger dome/outside. In the smaller venues I setup a much more agressive pitch curve to quicken up the transistion between + and - power (but pretty much never hit full tilt on either end while I am flying). If I am outside and not really bringing it down low Ill opt for something less demanding on the motor/batteries.

I use two different conditions (nl and idle-up). In the normal mode I run a fixed pitch and linear throttle curve. In an idle-up mode I run two different fixed pitches with a rather sharp, quick transition between the two somewhere near, or slightly less than half stick. In the idle-up mode my throttle curve is something like the following: 100, 70, 20, 60, 100. Of course youve got to fine tune for your particular likes and model type. So overall I would say I opt for more pitch and the expense of rpm's and current.

With your current setup you should be getting 5 minutes of excellent power in both directions on a Shockflyer size model.
