Needle (HELI)
Carburetor Mixture Adjustment.
The Needle function is really two features: one is a manual needle adjustment independent of a mix. This is done by
moving the LS slider control. The goal is to lean or richen the fuel mixture in relation to the blade pitch values. The
second is a switched, automatic mix between a mixture control servo of a glow or gas heli motor, and the blade pitch.
### This function can be influenced by the flight condition feature ###
There are two ways to activate this mix.
1. Use a slider. The default is the LS slider.
2. Direct mix to the pitch function activated with throttle stick movement.
