71 What pitch is useful for my
helicopter?
In general you can say ”the smaller the helicopter, the more pitch you have to set”. But it
also depends on how much motor power you helicopter has, the type of rotorblades you use
and finally in what you expect to do with the helicopter. So beginner or scale pilots will
not need as much pitch as a 3D aerobatics pilot or high speed flyer. Anyhow, as already
mentioned above set the pitch range in MICROBEAST PLUS so that it roughly fits to
your helicopter mechanics and its capabilities.
