Hi guys

[vernon7026]

I need help here..

I am trying to learn how to fly a heli, i have got this Phoenis, when i fly the heli, i cant make it hover, when i throttle up, it goes sky high, if i try close the throttle a little, it cuts the engine, and then falls, so there is no inbetween...

In other words i cant get it to stay at a decent RPM to hover, I have tried fiddling around with the radiop settings on the game? Still no luck,

does any one have any ideas?

What radio are you using?

have you set up the pitch curve and throttle curves in the tx?

[vernon7026]

Using a Futaba 2.4ghz...

No i have not set anything up on the TX!

[kevinh]

On the TX you should have a throttle curve and pitch curve, leave the throttle curve as it is,

should be 0 25 50 75 100 %

at a quick quess the pitch curve will be 0 25 50 75 100

what model have you been trying on phoenix?

take the raptor 30 sport for instance under the simulation heading select aircraft raptor 30 sport

if you now click edit aircraft and have a look at the main rotor heading for beginner minium pitch change to 0 pitch mid pitch change to 6 and the maxiumum pitch change to 9.

this will give a hovering throttle at mid stick on your throttle.

just one other thing have calibrated your TX

not sure if that applies to 2.4ghz but is it on ppm not pcm

Usually best to put the radio into a fixed wing mode initially so everything is completely linear; both throttle and pitch, and just let the Phoenix software do the work.

It may be though a case of heavy handedness on the throttle. To keep a steady hover can mean adjusting the stick at its tip by perhaps 0.1 to 0.15mm in real terms.
