HELICOPTER MODEL FUNCTIONS

Please note that nearly all of the

BASIC

menu functions are the same for airplane (

ACRO

setup), sailplane (

GLID

setups), and

helicopter (

HELI

) setups. The features that are identical refer back to the

ACRO

chapter. The Helicopter

BASIC

menu includes

the normal condition's throttle and collective pitch curves and revo. mixing. (idle-ups and throttle hold are advanced
features and are in the

ADVANCE

menu).
