FORGOT ABOUT HEAD SPEED
havent flown helis in a while and cant rememeber if you turn the throttle trim up to a certain RPM to keep the model from falling, and ofcourse throttle managment for the entire flight.........but again, before you lift off should the throttle trim be turned up to maintain headspeed....a simple yes or no Please, dont wanna get too confused

in a word no. you manage your head speed with the throttle, if your in normal mode. if your in iu, you have it preset in the remote

Throttle trim should be all the way down for electric, or set to proper idle for nitro. Head speed is adjusted with the throttle curve or governor if you're using one.

RE: FORGOT ABOUT HEAD SPEED
ok so your saying HS for electric is adjusted in the throttle curve and throttle trim for gas right?
Throttle trim is for starting and shutting down nitro helis, not for adjusting head speed. You set your head speed
for electric/nitro with your throttle curves in your radio (if your radio has throttle curves).
Throttle trim has nothing to do with head speed on any heli.
