THR Curve/Throttle Hover trim
THR Curve
This function adjusts the throttle operation curve
for each condition for optimum the engine speed to
throttle stick movement.
A throttle curve from linear operation curve to
smooth curve can be set. Adjustment to the curve
you want to use is possible by using the 14MZʼs
powerful Curve Edit Function. Up to 17 curve
points can be set, however, when the 5 points and
other point data is used, a smooth curve can be
easily created by reducing the number of input
points of the curve to 5 and entering the specifi ed
value at the corresponding points.
● Return to Model Menu
● Touch the [THR Curve] button in the Model
Menu to call the setup screen shown below.
Normal curve adjustment
● Normal curve creates a basic curve centered
around hovering. Use it along with the normal
pitch curve and adjust so that up/down control at
a constant engine speed is easiest.
Idle up curve adjustment
● Set a normal up curve that maintains a constant
speed at all times, even when operation which
reduces the pitch was performed in fl ight. Create
a curve matched to loop, roll, 3D, or other
purposes and the idle up curve according to the
performance.
Operation precautions
WARNING
When actually starting the engine and
flying, always set the idle up condition
switch to [OFF] and start the engine in the
idling mode.
Setting method
● Group button: When you want to simultaneously
enter the same settings to other functions, make
the settings in the group mode. (Initial setting) In
this case, the same setting contents are entered
to the other conditions in the group mode. When
you want to set each condition independently,
make the settings after selecting the single mode.
● The curve graph display mode can be selected.
This is convenient when checking curves other
than the one being set.
[Sngl]: Displays only the curve being set.
[Fine Tuning]: When Throttle Hover trim is used,
a curve with trim adjustment added is also
displayed.
[All Cond.]: Displays the throttle curve of all the
conditions. The curve of the condition currently in
use is indicated by a bold line.
[PIT&THR]: The pitch curve of the condition
currently in use is also displayed.
● The pitch curve setup screen can be called with
one touch. This is convenient when alternately
adjusting these curves with the pitch curve.
● The servo speed can be set. Adjust the throttle
speed when the throttle is too sensitive
