PITCH CURVE (PCV)
This function may be used to set different pitch
response curves for each flight condition (normal,
idle-up 1, idle-up 2, throttle hold, etc.). This func-
tion is activated when the respective flight condi-
tion is selected.
A 13-point curve can be input, and Point 7 can
be defined as the pitch curve reference point. You
may also define High and low side rate trim
volumes (the high-side pitch trim volume control is
defined as the right side lever at initial setting).
Pitch curve activation should be done with the
model menu pitch curve (PIT) function (page 58).

Setting Point Selection (Points 1 to 13)
Press the B key to turn on the curve inputting
function. Use the movement keys Q and R to select the
point whose value is to be set. The PT-> key increases
the point number by one, and the <-PT key reduces the
point number by one. The active point on the curve Is
shown as a black dot.
Curve Point Rate Setting
Once you have selected the desired point on the curve,
you may input the rate with the rate setting keys E to
M The
number
keys
0
through 100
input the value
directly. The + and - keys increase or decrease the
value by 0.5 with each button pressing (so it takes two
hits to see a number change because of numeric round-
ing).
You may set or reset each point on the curve by
repeating these steps for each point.
High-Side Rate Adjustment
Press the C key to adjust the High-Side rates. The
numeric keys E to M are used to directly set the rate,
which may vary from 0 to 110%. The default value is
100%.
Low-Side Rate Adjustment
You may set the Low-Side rates by pressing the D
key. As before, the rate may be set with the numeric keys
E to
M. This rate may vary from 0 to 110%, and its
default value is 100%.
Trim Volume Setting
If you'd like to be able to change the pitch curve while
in flight, you can set up this feature in the volume setting
screen. Press the O key to get into this screen, and
choose the control you'd like to use for this feature. For
a description of the volume setting method, see page 37).
The right slider is set as the high side trim volume when
Pitch Curve is activated.
Note: when Point 7 of the pitch curve is changed
after setting the HIGH/LOW side rates, the other points
change also. This is because Point 7 is used as the rate
setting reference point.
