Who has played with the "pitch pump" feature in the V-bar?

I think Wheelhaus on some of the other forums uses this function and has also talked to me about it before.

Correct me if I am wrong but I beleive that when you quickly move the collective stick to the opposite end, the swash will travel slightly further than your stick input and then go to the input position.

You should see the pack voltage drop when you pump the collective on the bench. I think that will be something to play with tom. if the weather is good.

Was starting to play with it & increasing the amount. What value are you guys using?

If you have ever used a 14mz it has the same simular feature in it it is really cool how it works. The biggest advantage is you can use less pitch ...
I will look @ my % and let you guys know were iam @

Next dumb question: where is this setting? I looked around the software, but didn't see it.

Well I finally got around to playing with the collective pump settings. I was fun for a couple of flights, and really speeds up those pitch pumps. But not for me or my flying style, I'll leave this one for the kids to play with.
