Default RE: Terminology please

Ummmm, guys, what's described here are variable throttle and governed modes-- nothing to do with normal or idle-up. Tmmatheny, the second (constant speed) is governed; most beginner to intermediate setups use variable throttle. Governed is a lot smoother to fly and produces much more consistent control response, but can be more involved to set up.

ORIGINAL: tmmatheny

What is the terminology for the 2 different modes of flight - one where the motor is off with throttle cut and advances the throttle and blade pitch as the the throttle is advanced, and the other mode, where the rotor is at a constant speed and the throttle control only changes the blade pitch? (idle up, maybe)
