COLLECTIVE PITCH FUNCTION (CPT)
(DIVING AIR BRAKE, HIGH PITCH TRIM)
Airplane Section
This function allows diving airbrake ("minus
pitch") adjustment at low throttle and high pitch
adjustment at high throttle for consistent model
speed during vertical aerobatics. This mixing can
be turned on and off during flight with a switch.
Air brake, engine idle-up trim, and the high-side
pitch control trim can be set independently.
The
mixing switching point (minus pitch/high pitch
switching point) can be set at a selected throttle
stick position, and each trim rate can be adjusted.
The throttle delay when switching from minus
pitch to high pitch and the pitch delay when
switching from high pitch to minus pitch can also
be adjusted independently.
