Hey Redman,
I don't have a HBCP3, but I do have a Belt CPV2. If the Tx is the same, here's what you can do to ease that transition:

Before spinup, set the HOV.PIT dial to the 9:00position (down to about 1). This changesthe pitch curve, and I think the throttle as well. Spool up tohalf throttle. At this point the heli should <u>not</u> be trying to lift off yetand the blades will be spinning at close to full throttle. Switch to Idle Up. You will see the blade pitch change, but the rpm should stay fairly constant. It should be a pretty smooth transition. Then while the heli is stillsitting there, turn the HOV.PIT dial back to the 12:00 position.Go fly!

When you land do the opposite. Throttle to mid stick, HOV.PIT dial to 9:00, Idle up <u>off</u>, throttle down.
Hope this helps.

Tinkman
