Changing the Pitch Curve Point Values and the Rate Percentage Values
Five different Points with varying Rate percentage values can be programmed onto the Pitch Curve. Each Point will be displayed
on the graph to give you a visual interpretation of the position of the Point on the Pitch Curve. The Point that is currently selected
will flash.
WARNING
Keep in mind that it's possible to set the Rate percentage values higher or lower than the pitch End Point
Adjustment percentage values. For example, with the pitch High End Point Adjustment percentage value set to 100% and
POINT>5 Rate percentage value set to 150% the collective servos will move 150%. We strongly recommend that you set the
pitch Curve Point Rate percentage values no higher than your pitch End Point Adjustment percentage values unless specifically
necessary for your particular setup. This will prevent any chance of overdriving your control linkages.
1) Press the Navigation Pad
6
to highlight POINT>1.
2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose which Point you would
like to set a Rate percentage value for.
POINT setting range is 1 through 5. Point 1 is at the low end of the Pitch Curve and Point 5 is at the high end of the Pitch Curve.
Point 3 is a the center of the Pitch Curve.
In the default configuration the Pitch Curve is Linear. For example, when you move the throttle control stick from 0% to
100%, the elevator, aileron, and pitch servos will travel from 0% to 100%, too. As long as the line on the graph remains
straight, the Pitch Curve will be Linear. When a Point Rate percentage value is changed, the line on the graph curves (displaying
the Pitch Curve) and throttle servo travel will vary in relation to throttle control stick movement.

to move the cursor to F-MODE>COM.
4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose either SEP OR COM
(SEParate or COMmon).
5) If you choose SEPARATE, press the F-MODE key to choose the F-MODE number you would like to program the Pitch Curve
function for. Choose from FN, F1 or F2.
