RE: how does this all work
Just like a heli. Use normal with a 0 to 100 throttle curve and all pitch points the same, like 100-100-100-100-100 or what ever number gets the pitch you want. That gets you in the air just like any normal plane. When in flight switch to idle 1, throttle curve is something like 100-100-75-100-100 and pitch is 0-25-50-75-100. Full forward pitch at top stick, full backward pitch at bottom stick. Center stick is no pitch and reduced throttle so not to over rev. This is with a Futaba 9C.
