The throttle needs to follow an increase in pitch;
likewise, the throttle should track with large cyclical
control movements, that is, tilting a swashplate in a
desired direction. The motor output should also be
adapted when the thrust of the tail rotor is increased so
as to maintain a constant system speed. In the mz-18
HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitter programs, throttle
tracking with roll, elevation and tail control can be
attempted separately.
If you are using a governor to automatically maintain
the rotor speed, the governor adapts the output as
necessary. Otherwise, you can adjust throttle tracking in
these three mixers.
This is advantageous especially with aerobatics (for
example when performing rolls) since cyclical control
defl ections are used with middle collective pitch values
where the carburettor is about halfway open that require
signifi cantly higher motor output.

If you have created Quick Links in the "Q.Link" sub-
menu, page 168, and assigned them an appro-
priate name, "NORMAL" (for example) appears in
green at the top right of the display. Activate the cor-
responding switches if desired to switch between
Quick Links.

quick links with a control assigned in the option fi eld
"CTL" (see below in the section).
