Basic idle settings
First turn the gas limiter (the proportional dial DV1 on
the front left or top left of the transmitter) clockwise
all the way. Move the throttle/pitch control stick to the
maximum pitch position and, in the submenu …
"THR.CRV" (starting on page 181)
… of the function menu, make sure that the standard
gas curve is active.
If the standard gas curve has already been changed
after a model memory has been initialized, reset it
(at least temporarily) to "POINT L = 0%", "POINT 3 =
+50%" and "POINT H = +100%":

Note:
Since the gas trim lever does not work when
the gas limiter is open, its position is irrelevant
in this case.
Without starting the gas engine, adjust the throttle servo
(preferably mechanically), and if desired additionally by
adjusting the travel of servo 6 in the submenu "E.P.A" of
the base menu to completely open the carburettor.
Then completely close the gas limiter by turning the
proportional dial DV 1 all the way counterclockwise. Use
the trim lever of the throttle/pitch control stick to move
the marking of the trim position into the motor OFF
position.
Note:
The position of the throttle/pitch control stick is
irrelevant when the gas limiter is closed. It can
therefore remain in the maximum pitch
position as long as you can switch between full throttle
(gas limiter open) and "Motor OFF" (gas limiter closed)
using just the gas limiter when adjusting the carburettor
linkage.
While the gas limiter is closed, adjust the carburettor
linkage so that the carburettor is completely closed.
Make sure that the throttle servo does not mechanically
overtravel in the two extreme positions (full throttle/
motor OFF).
To conclude this basic setting, match the setting range
of idle trim with point "L" of the gas curve. Adjust point
"L" of the "gas curve" display to approximately +15 to
+18%, for example:

To precisely adjust a seamless transition from idle trim
to the gas curve, move the pitch control stick back and
forth slightly at the minimum stop while the gas limiter
is closed and idle trim is completely open. The throttle
servo should not move. Any subsequent adaptation of
the gas curve must be done later during flight.
The motor should always be started with the gas limiter
completely closed. Adjusted the idle only with the trim
lever of the throttle/pitch control stick, and turn off the
motor with digital trim.
Note:
View the "Servo" menu to monitor the
influence of the gas limit control. Be sure to
remember that servo output 6 controls the
throttle servo for the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT
transmitters.
