Hovering pitch trim

The Hovering Pitch trim function trims the pitch

near the hovering point. Normally, it is used with

the hovering condition. The hovering pitch can be

fine tuned for changes in rotor speed accompanying

changes in temperature, humidity, and other flight

conditions. Adjust the hovering pitch so that

rotor speed is constant. This function can be used

together with the Hovering Throttle Trim function

for more precise operation.
