Pitch changes in each flight mode ?

[simon109]

Hi,

I have my heli set mechanically so I have -8 at low and +10.5 high and about 0.5 mid stick. When I go into the pitch menu and select Hold I press Angle and put Low as -8, Center as +0.5 and High as +10.5, I checked with a pitch gauge and it is correct. Now when I select Normal mode and press Rate I set my low point as -4, mid as +3.5 and high as +8.5 and delete the other points (using Spline curve on each flight mode) when I check these with a pitch gauge some are slightly out, so do I beleive my pitch gauge or the radio, or I am doing something wrong :dontknow

These are my settings I have put into the radio and what my gauge reads,

Norm set as -4, +3.5, +8.5 gauge reads -4.5, +4.0, +8.5
Idle 1 set as -6, +2.0, +9.0 gauge reads -6.5, +2.0, +8.5
Idle 2 set as -8, +0.5, +9.0 gauge reads -8, +0.5, +9.0
HOLD set as -8, +0.5, +10.5 gauge reads -8, +0.5, +10.5

I know only a couple of them are slightly out, but is there any way to correct these without messing any of the other settings up :dontknow

Simon.

The radio does not know what the mechanical geometry of your heli is.
The TX can only assume that you have a certain response.
The degrees on the radio are close but not exact. Check to be sure your pitch gauge is accurate and then believe that. I have seen pitch gauges that are off by a lot.
