18: Throttle Curves
The 12X offers up to five (5) separate throttle curves with up to
eight adjustable points per curve. This function allows you to
customize the throttle curve to maximize engine performance
at any particular pitch setting. Once the throttle curves are
established, each can be activated in flight using the 3-position
flight mode switch. If the additional 2 flight modes (numbers 3
and 4) have been activated in the Device Select portion of the
system mode, an additional switch will be used to activate these
modes and two additional throttle curves will be available.
The flight mode switch offers three selectable positions:
• N=Normal
• 1=Stunt 1
• 2=Stunt 2
• Extra flight modes
• 3=Stunt 3 (optional)
• 4=Stunt 4 (optional)
Note
: The N (Normal) position is used as the hover
throttle curve.
Positions 1 and 2 (Stunt 1 and Stunt 2) are typically used for
forward flight and 3D maneuvers. Optional flight modes 3 and 4
are also designed for use with aerobatic maneuvers and forward
flight.
Note
: The throttle trim and hovering throttle trimmer
are only operable when the flight mode switch is in the
normal position. In the 1, 2, 3, 4 or hold positions, these
two functions have no effect. Also, adjusting the hovering
throttle trimmer and throttle trim has no effect on the input
values of the throttle curve. Each of the eight points of the
throttle curve is independently adjustable from 0–100%.
1. In function mode use the Rolling Selector to highlight the
THRO CURV function, then press to access. ALL SERVOS
HOLD ? will be displayed. Press YES or NO to access the
throttle curve screen.
2. Moving the flight mode switch to the desired position
will select the flight mode that will be programmed. The
flight mode will be displayed in the upper left corner of the
screen.
3. Move the Rolling Selector and highlight the desired throttle
point to be adjusted. Press the Rolling Selector to access
the point value, then roll the Rolling Selector to increase
and decrease the point value.
4. To set throttle curves for flight modes switch the flight mode
to the desired position and the screen will change to that
flight mode.
5. Highlight the desired pitch point that you would like to
adjust and press the roller. Rotate the roller to adjust that
point on the pitch curve.
6. To add a point move throttle stick to the desired position
until STR appears on the left bottom of the screen. Pressing
STOR will store a new point at that position.
Note
: To eliminate a point, press ERAS (bottom left of the
screen) when the point is highlighted.
7. To exit the Throttle Curve function, highlight the LIST with
