After flying my DA-50 for a few flights I want to change the throttle response using a throttle curve. My 9Z has a 13 point curve with 11 setable positions on the curve, I am assuming most leave the endpoints at 0 and a 100... After doing a little reading here on RCU it appears that most gassers get most of their power when the carb is open about 65% to 75% and that there is little RPM increase above that. Instead of go through a trial and error process at the field (I did that yesterday and was not happy with the results) I thought I'd try to figure out a likely curve using this information.

To get a linear response you want to carb to be open about 35% (half the average between 65 and 75%) when the throttle is at straight up (50% travel). So I set that point on the curve and adjusted the lower values back to 0% to make a smoothly increasing curve. Then I set the 12th point to 75% and set the points between it and the middle (35% value) to get a smoothly increasing curve. I left the last point at 100%...

Does this sound reasonable? I was unable to get to the field today to try it out...[:@]
