Default RE: 1/2 or 3/4 stick hovering?


ORIGINAL: ross001

Will that mean that at mid stick in normal mode the pitch will be 0 degrees, like idle up?
Also with an autorotation should you have a lot of negative pitch?

Thanks,
Ross
Yes ... the general solution is to build the top half of the normal mode curves (50%,75%,100%) to look the same as your idle up curves but leave the bottom of the normal curve (0%,25%) looking like the normal normal mode settings (ie -3ish° at the bottom). This way, as long as you switch between modes while the stick is at 50% or higher, the heli won't do anything sudden like fall out of the sky or jump off the ground.

Since the heli flys the same at 50% and up, just make sure you are in idle up before you flip your heli upside down or bad things might happen.

You need only about -4/-5° at the most to do a normal auto.

Good Luck,
