Vertical control

Hi everibody.

Yesterday I went to the field to fly my heli (Raptor 30v2 with a Sanwa RD6000) and it fly quite well. I'm still learning ant it was the first time that I get to move the heli from one place to another . Until now it was the heli itself the one who decide where to go .

The main problem this time was the height control. Just a bit of the throttle stick up or down makes the heli to go up with too much speed (at least for me) or to go down in a dangerous way. It was really difficult to get the heli stable in the vertical axis.

I think that it could be solved changing the throttle and pitch curves to give more stick travel to this critical point but I'm not sure what to do.

Any suggestions?. Thank you in advance.

Best regards

hi vicent

well you know what the prob is thats good
to fix it is no so bad of a thing.

first find out the exact half throtle on the carb, means that carburator has to be open at half when at half stick.
mark the carb at half position with pen or light scatch with exacto blade then with power on radio put throtle stick at half adjust push rod to fit and then all you need to do is find the proper hole on servo weel and carb arm so you get closed throtle at low stick low trim,idle at half to 3/4 trim and car fully open at full stick,and this part is o.k

now pitch curve you need if a raptor 6 to 6.5 deg of pitch
at HALF stick do this first then try to adjust 0 deg at low stick and 10 deg at full stick.

this should take care of your probs

have fun

steff
