Throttle Curve cont.
If you are using multiple flight conditions, you must define throttle curve values for each flight
condition. The top field of the T.Curve menu allows you to select the desired flight condition.
Alternately, you may select the desired flight condition using the assigned F.Cond switch.

a. If you choose the “NULL” option, throttle cut will remain inactive at all times for this model.
b. If you choose a switch:
- The switch position menu will appear. The current switch
position will be displayed in the top right field of the display as
“0”, “1”, or “2”
- Repeat steps 4-8 to define throttle curve for every switch position.
To disable the throttle curve:

Helicopter Programming Menu
When the active model is configured as a helicopter model type, the model function menu contains
programming options which are useful for helicopters. This section describes the features and
programming steps for the helicopter model function menu.
If you have not already programmed a model with the preceding quick start guide, we
encourage you to do so before tackling the model programming section of the manual.

Caution
From the model function menu, you can program the following helicopter-specific options:
GYRO:
Specify gyro on/off and sensitivity settings.
THRO CUT:
Configure a kill switch for glow/gas motors.
T.HOLD:
Set a switch-controlled throttle position.
REVO MIX:
Damp unintended yaw movement when not using a heading hold gyro.
SWASH>THRO:
Mix throttle with swashplate movements.
Swash Mix:
Apply fine adjustments to the swash plate travel.
T.Curve:
Specify non-linear throttle response.
P.Curve:
Configure optimum blade pitch for different throttle settings.
FLT.COND:
Configure specific control settings for different phases of flight.
*Swash Ring:
Prevent excessive control throw on the swash servos.
THRO Lock:
Assign a switch to lock and release throttle movements.
Working with Heli Model Function Menu
1. Turn on transmitter. When prompted to transmit, select “NO”.
2. Verify that the active model is a helicopter.
3. To access the model function menu, press and hold the jog dial.
4. The menu options shown reflect the parameters defined for the
active model in the model type menu (Model Type and Swash).
HELI-specific items are integrated in the menu with the options that
are common to all model types.
Gyro
It is often desirable to use a gyro to help stabilize the tail rotor on helicopters. The Flash 8 provides up to
three gyro sensitivity settings per model memory. The gyro settings can also be specified for each defined
flight condition.
The GYRO function must be assigned to a channel before this option will appear in the Model
function menu. See Section 3 for instructions regarding the Channel menu.
