Default RE: Throttle trim hover advise

Imadot,

Concerning throttle trim,,, just practice turning the throttle stick and throttle trim down as fast as you can, after awhile it becomes a habit.. Of course with the heli turned off.

Advantage::: With throttle trim at mid point, you'll see that you'll have more head spead and a bit more pitch. Makes it easier to fly and control,, Sometimes, I'll put the throttle trim full up, just experiment with it and you'll be amazed at the difference in perfomance between no throttle trim,, mid point and full throttle trim...

Give it a try,

Dave / Choppersrule

New to helis and have been told from the git-go to keep trim all the way down..as it don't use it. It seems so far in flying to obtain hover, stick placement hits the hover either too high or too low. Once I get an around hover height I will trim it in to the stick placement, useually it is almost half way up the trims setting, acheiving then a good hover. If trouble arises I try to cut off both throttle and trim at the same time. How do you all handle this? Can a switch on the CX2 TX cut off motors instead? Please advise.

Thank you!
