dropping titan

[geepfreek]

i have a raptor 50 titan flies great manuvers well but when comming in for a landing just below mid stick the heli seems to fall/ drop like there is nothing under it im at 0 pitch at mid stick and -8 at low stick. when i give just a little pos to catch it i wants to climb. and im right at or bearly over mid stick


what pitch settings and curves are yall flying still new(ish) end of first gallon but im also flying a t-rex 450 and 600 and not haveing the drop with them

thanks for the help

It sounds to me that you're landing in your Idle-Up 1 or 2 config.

Your tx should be set up for at least 2 flight modes, "Normal" and "Idle-Up 1".

Your "Normal" Pitch range should be
-4 -- +5.5 -- +9.5 degrees
which pitch curve wise should be approx:
18 - 38 - 55 - 75 - 94


Idle-Up 1 pitch range should be
-9 -- 0 -- +9 degrees
which pitch curve wise should be approx:
0 - 22 - 46 - 70 - 90

As you slow from forward flight the rotor disk goes from acting like a wing with air moving over it, to pushing air down through it. Hovering is less efficent so you need more power. All helicopters do this and you need to be ready to get on the power as you transition to a hover. Its a matter of practice or flipping to normal with a less aggressive pitch curve.
