Hovering Throttle Adjustment Knob
The Hovering Throttle knob may be used to "tweak"
the throttle servo's position around hover without
affecting main rotor pitch. It’s handy to make up for
changes in rotor speed caused by variations in
temperature, humidity, or other conditions. To change
the hovering throttle setting, simply turn the Hovering
throttle knob VR1. As shown in the figure, turning the
knob has the largest effect in the hovering region and
leaves the endpoints alone. Please center this knob
before you set neutrals or input throttle curves.

Hovering Pitch Adjustment Knob
The Hovering Pitch knob may be used to trim the
collective pitch near hover without affecting throttle.
Like hovering throttle, it’s handy to make up for
changes in rotor speed caused by variations in
temperature, humidity, or other conditions. You can
adjust the hovering pitch value simply by turning the
Hovering pitch knob VR2. Like hovering throttle, this
knob only works near hover and tapers off at either end
of throttle. Please center this knob before you set
neutrals or input throttle curves.
