Touch the RES button to reset a changed value in a

blue (active) value ﬁeld to the default value.

Note:

The associated controller does not have

any effect if an undeﬁned point is selected

(in the basic version of the relevant curve

mixers, only the points "L" and "H" are set).

• Q.LINK column

If you want to, specify in the right "Q.LINK" column

the programmed Quick Links in which the governor

should be active. In the value ﬁeld (in the example,

"1 (normal)"), the number refers to the Quick Link

number that can be found in the submenu "Q.LINK",

page 168.

In order to select a different Quick Link than the

default Q.LINK1, touch the button in the "Q.LINK"

column and the desired line with a ﬁnger or a

provided stylus, for example:

Note:

The settings that appear in this display access the same

records as those at a comparable location in the "TRIM"

display of the "THR.CRV" menu (see the next section),

which is why changes always affect each other.

Autorotation setting

In a powered ﬂight, the maximum wing angle is limited

by the available motor output; in autorotation, however, it

is limited by the stall at the main rotor blades. To provide

sufﬁcient lift even while the speed is decreasing when

ﬂaring the helicopter, the maximum pitch needs to be

set.

Switch to the autorotation phase, and move the green

vertical line to the "H" point with the control stick.

First set a value that is about 10 to 20% higher than

the normal maximum pitch. Do not set a value at the

very beginning that is signiﬁcantly higher than normal

ﬂight since of the behaviour of the pitch control will be

signiﬁcantly different after switching in comparison to

the usual reaction. The danger exists of over-controlling

after ﬂaring with the model continuing to rise; then the

motor speed will decrease suddenly high above the

ground, and the model will drop. Later, after a few test

autorotations, the value can always be readjusted.

The minimum pitch can be different from that for normal

ﬂight. It depends on conventional control practice during

normal ﬂight. In any case, you need to set a minimum

pitch for the "L" point for autorotation that will allow your

model to be brought into a descent of approximately 60-

70° out of forward ﬂight path at an average speed when

the pitch is reduced to a minimum. If you use such a

setting in normal ﬂight like most of helicopter pilots, the

value can be easily transferred.

If you normally let your model descend at a ﬂatter angle,

increase the value at the "L" point and vice versa.
