You did good explaining, but your a bit off. CP has the same throttle range, but you can program pitch curve and throttle curve depending on what you want. So basically as you increase your throttle, your pitch is changing with your throttle. When you are in 3D mode, your throttle stays really high and changes very little. 3D mode is more based on your pitch than your throttle and you typically have +/- 12 degrees of pitch. It is very difficult to pull off any aerobatics with a fixed pitch heli.


No - actually I'm not a bit off. This is the beginner forum and I intentionally gave a beginner explanation, no need to bury him in information. Simplifying the answer and leaving out info is not the same as being wrong.

You need to lighten up a bit. It's beginning to look less like you want to help people and more like you just want to impress people.

Sigh - looks like my first instinct about not posting was probably correct.
CP is collective pitch. The blade speed stays pretty much the same and to go higher you just increase the pitch of the blades.
I am lighten up, but when you tell someone that a cp heli throttle only moves a little, that is incorrect. BTW, I am not here to impress. Think that if you like, but that is not why I am here. As far as feeding too much info, that may be a possibility and I will keep that in consideration.
