It is always rising or falling. Increase pitch or decrease it?
Piccolo Fun with all mods, FP, Hacker B20-31S, CF blades, high authority tail motor, LIPO 3 cell,
What do i do to get a steady throttle? I've trimmed all the way from off to full. Nothing seems to help.

Hi FW,
That is a sweet bird you have there. Out of curiousity, what transmitter are you using? Is the throttle ratcheted, with clicks in it? If so, the stable hover is always right between 2 clicks. That is why heli transmitters use smooth friction, rather than ratchets.

Heh, took me two weeks to get to that point. That was the best mod i've made so far. I took it apart and sanded the teeth down on the back of the arm and bent the copper tension bar to give a little more tention and that made all the difference in the world. After 2 weeks of fighting the ups and downs, i can finally hover.
