The switch that controls the throttle curve, as described previously, will also control the pitch curve as well.
a switch.
“Normal” Mode:
Idle-Up” Mode: Allows you to reverse the thrust of the propeller. When you have your throttle stick in the
center position (0% throttle) you will not have any pitch. As you push the stick forward (100% throttle) you
get positive pitch which allows the airplane to move forward. When you pull the throttle stick back (–100%
throttle) it applies negative pitch to the blades and allows the plane to go in reverse.
For information on the proper pitch and throttle curves, please refer to the instructions that accompanied the
variable pitch equipment.
To set the pitch curve (P-CV):
1) Turn the transmitter on.
2) Press and hold the MODE button to access the programming mode.
3) Press either the MODE key OR the END key to scroll through the function menus.
Continue pressing the MODE or END key until the pitch curve (P-CV) menu
appears on screen.
4) The right side of the LCD should indicate that the pitch curve is inhibited, as
denoted by the flashing INH. Activate the pitch curve by pressing and holding
changing to ON.
Note: It is imperative to activate the throttle curve before programming the pitch
curve. If the throttle curve has not been activated, the pitch curve will not be
accessible.
5) Press the SELECT button two (2) times. This will bring up point one (1) of the
pitch curve programming. The current value is expressed, in percentage of the
overall throttle travel, in the lower right portion of the LCD.
6) Press the DATA INPUT lever upward to increase the percentage of servo travel for the respective point on
the pitch curve.
