Default RE: servo alignment

Throttle curve is just the amount of power you have at different points.


0 being no throttle, 2 being up some on left stick. 3 being midstick. Just a one to one. This is for regular. For idle up throttle is always on there is no low point. Mid (so 3) should be about 75-80 percent power then each end point should be full power so it's a big V.


Pitch on the other hand is just the blades. It should pretty much always be the same but using idle up gives you the most correct settings.

The idea is at point 3 (mid left stick) the blades should be level and 75-90 percent power or not doing anything but spinning the blades. then at low point the blade pitch should be at full neg pitch whatever you have that set for but usu between 10-12. At point 5(high left stick) you should have most positive stick or 10-12 meaning with throttle curve you have full power and full pitch.

On normal the pitch is 0-100 is in various configs some people like 45(being just negative).65(neutral)..(half positive)75.(mostly positive)88.(full positive)100 or some combo of such.

Meaning at low stick and normal throttle the power is off and no pitch or some negative pitch for those who want it more correct., at mid stick you have mid power and medium pitch and at high stick you have full power and full pos pitch.

That's all that means

so

throttle on idle up is big V
Pitch is a straight line 50 being "neutral" 0 being full neg and 100 being full pos.

Throttle on Reg mode should be a straight line from 0-100 or some combination
Pitch should be starting at 45 or so and going to 100 in a curved pattern

Correct me if I'm wrong guys just doing it from memory.
