I already posted this in the beginners forum but nobody in there seems to have an answer and i'm really desperate !!
Here's the post..... Thanks in advance !!


"" Ok i'm Back with another post After all my earlier questions i thought i had an idea what i was doing when trying to setup a pitch curve.....Well, i didn't....My Heli now has the stability of an airborne Cabbage !! And i know its down to my not understanding this standard procedure...If theres any of you very nice people out there that either knows a link to a guide or has to time to spell it out for me in Big plain english i'd be 4ever grateful..I basicly need everything !! Step by step I know NOTHING !!!

My heli is an Esky Honeybee Cp2....Manual says it uses a ccpm system (cyclic/collective pitch mixing)..Its a basic 6ch transmitter with just 2 switches, idle up & trainer...other than that just 4 reverse switches and the usual trims.

I'm hoping to finally achieve something like -1 , +5 , +8 ...Or whatever is good for basic hovering and forward flight.

Any help will be Really appreciated !! Thanks ""

I can't seem to get the mental picture of an "airborn cabbage" enough to help you.

If that's the stock TX/RX, I believe the pitch curves are already set and cannot be adjusted too much (could be wrong...I have a blade cp..if not a twin brother than a close sibling ). Make sure you have 0 pitch at half throttle (stick in the middle). That's a good starting point. You can then use the trim to adjust it a bit more. Screw or unscrew the connecting rod ends to get the pitch centered. In short, the throttle/head speed needs to be up a good bit before you apply positive pitch.

Check out bdavisons build thread on the Blade CP....should be applicable in your case too.

Bdavison's build - awesome information for setup.

I have the HBCP2 as well. Sad but true, the pitch curve is "hard wired" into the trasmitter.

Thanks for the info Guys !!
Hey deves i'm gonna start a thread called "Honeybee cp2". Maybe u could post some of your experience's with it ? Thanks

Yup, the Blade CP, Honeybee CP2, and any other CCPM helis that come with the radio have the mixing as a permanent programming in the radio. If you want to experiment with changing the pitch or throttle curves on the heli, you will need to get another transmitter that has programmable pitch/throttle curves in it.
