Learn how to operate HOVERING PITCH
and HOVERING THROTTLE. See p. 104.
Notice at half throttle, the VR(C) dial
adjusts the throttle separately from the
pitch. VR(A) adjusts the pitch separately
from the throttle.

Apply full collective and check that the swashplate remained level and there is no binding. Repeat for full cyclic pitch and
roll. If not, adjust as needed to correct in END POINT: see p. 39.
Important note: prior to setting up throttle hold, idle-ups, offsets, etc, be sure to get your normal condition operating
properly.
Checking setup prior to going airborne: Check voltage! Then, with the assistance of an instructor, and having completed
all range checks, etc, gradually apply throttle until the helicopter becomes “light on the skids.” Adjust trims as needed to
correct for any roll, pitch, or yaw tendencies. If the tail “wags,” the gyro gain is too high. Decrease gyro gain.

Periodically move the throttle stick to full and back down to ensure proper servo settings.

It is critical that dials A and C be centered when the pitch and throttle curves are setup.
