I would like to setup Idle up 1 on my Raptor 50. I am using a -5 5.5 8 in Normal mode and -9 0 9 in idle up 1. Here is my question lets say I am hovering in normal mode and switch to idle up 1. My pitch will go from 5.5 to 0 and the heli is going to come down? Will I have to be ready to increase my throttle/collective immediately after the switch? BTW, I am hovering mid stick at 1560 rpm. Will probably try a set Mavrikk Glass blades and run 1850 for my idle up 1 mode. I am bored of flying in circles and stall turns. I think it is time for me to start doing loops and rolls. Thanks

Easy, switch to ID1 as you are climbing out at full pitch, you won't see much change except the rpm will increase.

Or, just set your normal curve to also hover at 3/4 stick. I changed to that and there is not much difference.

I like to be able to switch modes without having the heli lurch up or down so I keep all the pitch curves the same. Just the throttle changes so when I go to a idle up curve I only hear an rpm increase.

or you can use normal mode just to spool up your blades and then flip to idle up before you lift off. i never understood why anyone would want to hover at a lower head speed than they would use in fff or aerobatics unless they're doing precision fai stuff and want a soft response in hover. to me, hovering is only for takeoff and landing.

I am just going to try it out this weekend and will see how it goes. Thanks
