When the knob is in the highest, most clockwise position (+), the midpoint of the throttle curve in the Idle Up/Stunt
flight mode will be approximately 100%.
The unique benefit of this knob is that it offers you the ability to adjust the main rotor head speed, and in turn the
collective and cyclic control response, of the model between the endpoints of the throttle curve when in the Idle
Up/Stunt flight mode. Typically, a higher main rotor head speed will result in quicker, more aggressive collective
and cyclic control response.
For example, when you have the knob in the lowest, most counterclockwise position, the main rotor head speed
in hover (and during transition from positive to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be lower than it is when at the
top or bottom of the throttle/collective stick range. This is generally preferred when hovering (right-side-up or
inverted) in calm conditions, as it will help to keep the main rotor head speed down and provide for smoother,
less aggressive collective and cyclic response. It will also help to prevent “over-speeding” of the main rotor blades
during fast descents.
When you have the knob in the highest, most clockwise position, the main rotor head speed in hover (and during
transition from positive to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be similar to when you are at the top or bottom of
the throttle/collective stick range. This is generally preferred when flying in breezy conditions, and for the quickest,
most aggressive collective and cyclic response. It is also helpful when performing aerobatics like loops, rolls, flips
and more as it will help to maintain more consistent main rotor head speeds. This also allows for more consistent
tail holding power because the main to tail motor mixing changes will be minimized throughout the entire throttle/
collective stick range.
With the stock, 370 brushed motor power system, we recommend that those pilots interested most in aggressive
aerobatics fly with the Idle Up TCM ADJ knob set to provide full power at mid-stick. This further enhances the
aerobatic capabilities of the Blade™ CP Pro and allows you to perform flips and near-stationary rolls that are not
generally possible with the midpoint set to a lower level of power. It also improves handling and tail holding power
throughout all other aerobatic maneuvers.
