Default RE: Headspeed, what does it affect?

I found that higher head speed increases the gyroscopic stability of the model to a point. Blade pitch settings will also affect what the head speed is just as much as gear ratio and the speed (kv) rating of the motor. Taking all this into account, if your heli has collective pitch, then a properly set up throttle/pitch curve will result in a head speed that remains constant as you throttle up and down.
