Flat throttle

[ghost2212]

mate im only doing light circuits at the mo and i thought if i had hold on at 50% i could just cruise about without having to worry about the throttle.

If you don't need much headspeed/power than just lower your throttle curves a bit. Will use less fuel as well obviously

I had a mess around today and my velo 50 flies perfectly in normal mode on 0/30/30/30/60. Great for just figure 8 and flying around upright.( I left the 60 on the end point just in case i needed a power boost to get out of trouble.)

If i'm understood right on a nitro the throttle curve is to maintain a constant head speed. When you change the pitch you change the load on the head as well. There are two ways to overcome this problem:

1, set throttle curve (collective) and set mixes for cyclic, and ruder to throttle, but it is pita as take a lot of test flights to set everything properly or

2, use a governor.

You still needs some more or less accurate throttle curve as a backup in case if the governor fails.

On an electric the governor built in to the esc so it uses the curve as the demand of the head speed. You need to calculate the curves as the hs depend on the motor kv/efficiency/batt cells.

thanks boggy i will try that next time out sounds just what im looking for mate..
