Hovering Throttle Knob Setting The hovering throttle knob increases or decreases the engine output power for either the center point only (point #2), or middle three (3) points, if activated, of the throttle curve. As shown in the figures below, use of the hovering throttle knob shifts the middle curve upward or downward. Therefore, operation of the hovering throttle knob does not cause any change to the high point and low point of the throttle curve. Hovering Throttle Knob Output value Operating Range Hovering Throttle Knob Operating Range (all points are parallel) Output value Throttle Trim Operating Range The hovering throttle knob adjusts all middle points that are activated in Normal Mode (Points 1 and 3) Throttle Trim Operating Range When points 1, 2, & 3 are activated, the Hovering Throttle Knob will increase/decrease all 3 points together Point L Throttle Stick Low High Point L Throttle Stick Low High HELI 79 4. 8 Throttle Curve (Function Mode), cont. Exponential Throttle Curve Function With the XP8103 system, individual throttle curves are selectable to be either straight (linear) or curved (exponential). To select an exponential curve, press either of the CH keys until EXP OFF appears on the throttle curve screen. Next press either the + or key to activate the exponential feature (an "on" will replace the "off" on the screen). With the exponential function ON, you will notice that any "sharp" angles of the throttle curve will become more "rounded" or "smooth, " creating a more equal throttle servo movement during the entire throttle curve range. UP DN SELECT CH CH CLEAR Press the Clear key to return the Exponential Function to the OFF position Press either CH key until EXP OFF appears on the screen Press the + or - key to activate (turn on) the exponential feature Idle Up Normally, flight mode 1 and 2 are used to increase engine RPM below half stick for forward flight maneuvers (idle up), and at this time any other trims are not active as the throttle will only operate/follow the current throttle curve values. HELI 80 4. 9 Pitch Curve (Function Mode) Adjustment of the pitch curve is very similar to the throttle curve adjustment described in the preceding section. A thorough understanding of the throttle curve section will make pitch curve adjustment easier to understand. The XP8103 offers four (4) independent types of pitch curves: Normal, Stunt 1, Stunt 2 and Hold. Each pitch curve contains five (5) adjustable points -- L, 1, 2, 3, and H. Note: When setting pitch curve for throttle hold, it is necessary for the throttle hold to be active -- if this function is inhibited, the throttle hold pitch curve will not be visible on the screen. In the Function Mode, use the UP and DN keys to select Pitch Curve and access by pressing the UP and DN keys simultaneously. Hovering Pitch Knob The hovering pitch knob operates in the same manner as the hovering throttle knob. It is operable while the flight mode is in the N, or Normal, position, and its function is to shift either the center point only (#2) or the middle three (3) points (if activated) of the curve either upward or downward to adjust rotor RPM at the hover position. Pitch Trim Knob The pitch trim knob is a trimmer for the pitch channel. This knob should be set to 0, and all changes upward or downward should be made from this neutral point. This function is used to adjust the main rotor speed (RPM) to stay within manufacturer's specifications. If the pitch curve is set properly, only small trim adjustments will be required. When a particular point is activated, the output value will then be displayed Switch the Flight Mode position by pressing SEL (Display will flash when the flight mode switch is in the same position as displayed on the screen) NORM: Normal ST-1: Stunt 1 ST-2: Stunt 2 HOLD: Throttle Hold Existing output value CH Point Display CH L. Stick 3/4 postion H: Stick full high position Current stick position Press either CH key to move the cursor to each point to be adjusted (L, 1, 2, 3, H) Press the UP and DN keys simultaneously to enter/exit the Function Mode Press the DN and Select keys simultaneously to access the Function Mode List Display UP To Inverted Switch function To Throttle Curve function DN SELECT CH CH CLEAR Press Clear to return the point value at the cursor to the factory preset, or INH position. Inhibited H: Output Value 100% Press the Select key Press either CH to select the Pitch key to move the Curve to be cursor to each adjusted point to be adjusted NORM (L, 1, 2, 3, H, EXP) ST 1 ST 2 HOLD (Only when Throttle Hold function is activated) Press the + or - key to increase/decrease Pitch Curve value at the selected point HELI 81 4. 9 Pitch Curve (Function Mode), cont. Example of Throttle Curve and Pitch Curve Settings An example of throttle curve and pitch curve settings for aerobatic specifications are shown below in the form of graphs. Details of the curves will differ, depending on the helicopter specifications. In these examples, the throttle open-close stroke and autorotation pitch stroke are set from 0 to 100.

When the inverted switch is pulled down, the inverted flight function is switched ON. If you do not intend to use the inverted function, leave this operation inhibited. In the Function Mode, use the UP and DN keys to select Inverted Switch and access by pressing the UP and DN keys simultaneously. [. . . ] Most common is to drop the wing tailing edge with up Elevator. Options and Program Ideas With some time to experiment and learn the transmitter, you will discover a number of other ways to apply the above functions. If you fly with the aileron/rudder mix always ON, the mix switch can be used as another switch option. The available programmable mixes also allow for a variety of scale and special-use functions. Flaperons Following are guidelines for mixing flaps to follow aileron movement. This mix will work as part of the Launch and/or reflex preset at your option. [. . . ]
