What are you guy using for a 3D set up on the 50V2 as far as curves and pitch.

For pitch, you should use a linear curve to get the full pitch range both negative and positive (0,25,50,75,100)

As far as throttle curves, they vary depending on a lot of things. Go to http://www.raptortechnique.com/ for good info and setups for various engines, etc.

But personally, I now use a governor.

What happens when you throw a magnet? Do you have curves as a back-up? I do.

I've never thrown a magnet. I guess it depends on how you install them

Yes I do have backup curve's programmed in.

Skarn

knock on wood, I have only thrown a magnet once, the first one, since then, much care goes into their installation.

Knowing how to properly program throttle curves and not depend completely on technology was my point. If my governos happen to fail for whatever reason, I am not completely sure I will notice until the end of the flight.

The point of all this rambling? A guy is asking basic questions, he needs basic answers. Sometimes additional information is too much information. With the exception of a gyro, I am a firm believer that a newbie should learn to fly his heli without electronic aids. As his skills progress then "complications" can be added.
