Heli Glossary and Short Definitions - For the Newbie

[Guest]

I dont know if its been done, if not I think it would be appreciated. As a newbie to the hobby I do a lot of reading on here through old posts and I find there are a fair number of acronyms and words that do not make a lot of sense.

Just for starters, some I know, some I dont:

CCPM
CP - Collective Pitch
ESC - Electronic Speed Controller
Feathering Shaft
FP - Fixed Pitch
Gain -
Idle Up -
Nose in - Heli flying facing you
Nose out - Heli flying facing away
Throttle Curves -

Please add or correct if necessary

It's been done in the EHBG (Electric Helicopters Begginers Guide)

Look at the glossary at the end (starts on page 214)
