Throttle stick

[handthrottle]

Hi All
Its great....hovering fairly close to centre already (approx 1hr). Just want to check with you all, dont forget I'm completely useless with TX and computers When I use the throttle stick (mode2) its about 2 or 3 clicks past centre before it leaves the ground....is that about right?? Just seems alot of travel just to get above the grass. If there is something I can do cud you literally do it in A B C terms ie click this then do this etc etc.
tks

Its time to make the choice about where on the left stick you want to hover.
When you want to do aerobatics with negative pitch then you setup with zero collective pitch at mid stick and hover at 3/4 stick (hover inverted at 1/4 stick)
I have always setup my normal flight mode so that the collective is the same, so there is no jump when I switch to stunt mode (also known as idle up).

Others prefer to have a hover at mid stick setup in normal mode and then either compenste for the jump when they switch to idle up, or land switch and take off again.

So it depends if your ambitions lie in mad 3D aerobatics or pipe and slippers scale.

As regards the setup on phoenix, it depends if you are using the throttle and pitch curves in the tx, or if you have set everything in phoenix.
What type is your tx?
Might be able to help more later tonight.

Hi Moyesboys.
All the settings that have been done are on Phoenix. I think as I am just training I think I would prefer the pipe and slippers scale....it just seemed that you have to use alot of stick just to hover??. If people think that is ok for now then I will just leave it!!

Similar Throttle Problem with DX7

When I set-up my DX7 as standard and select the 50 size training heli it will not lift off even with full throttle. I have to use the hover pitch rocker switch will enable lift off but with very funny throttle response. Some advice on best way to set-up would be appreciated.

Thanks

i would try and calibrate you tx in the my transmiter pane the dx7 should work in default mode. just select with or without expo!

as above calibrate your tx. i would leave it as is hover should be slightly above center stick!
