What Idle-Up Throttle Curves for Non-Governor Raptor 50?

[Rockohaulic]

I'm curious what Idle-Up 1 and 2 curves people are using for their Raptor 50's.

Are you using conservative curves like 100/75/50/75/100 for your Idle-Up throttle curves?

Or are you using something much more aggressive like 100/90/80/90/100???

I've heard of Trex pilots using very aggressive cures, but I did not know if that applied to Nitro pilots...

You cannot even consider setting up a glow helicopter anywhere close to the way a Trex is set up. The torque curves of the two types of motors is completely different. With zero degree mid-stick setup you will have to be considerably below 50 percent throttle at mid stick. At zero degrees at mid-stick your R50 will over-speed with 50 percent throttle. I use a governor on my 50s and eventually you will want one also, but the low point on my throttle curve is about 40%. If you were to us a Trex curve like 100/90/80/90/100 you would most certainly destroy either your engine or helicopter or both.

So what are your curves set at? :dontknow
