Help needed for setting up Throttle and Pitch Curve

[jds5150]

What's the best setup for standard 500mm wood blades powered by Z-Power Z20-980kv motor with 14th pinion.

My current setup drains a lot of power:

Normal Throttle Curve 0,50,65,80,87,94,100%
Idle-1 Throttle Curve 95,90,85,80,90,95,100%
Idle-2 Throttle Curve 100,97,93,90,93,97,100%

Normal Pitch Curve 45,55,65,75,85,95,100%
Idle-1 Pitch Curve 30,43,56,67,79,93,100%
Idle-2 Pitch Curve 20,36,52,67,79,93,100%

Slowing the head down will give you more time. Making sure the blades are in track as much as possible will help with everything. This also goes for making sure the gyro is mechanically centered as the servo and the tail blades will not have to work as hard to keep the helicopter straight.

How come you have uneven negative pitch?

Although if you slow your head down too much, you will increase amp draw because of the increased pitch required to lift.

You have your nomral set to have about +5 pitch at 80% throttle.

Here's what I run (JR9303 7 point curves, you could also interpolate the inbetween points rather than Inhibiting them, but Inh just has teh Tx draw a straight line from one point to the next):

Normal:
Pitch: 40 - Inh - Inh - 50 - Inh - Inh - 100
Throttle: 0 - 45 - 65 - 80 - Inh - Inh - 100

So I am up around 90% on throttle for 75 pitch.

Stunt 1:
Pitch: 0 - Inh - Inh - 50 - Inh - Inh - 100
Throttle: 100 - Inh - Inh - 90 - Inh - Inh - 100

Stunt 2
Ptich - Same as Stunt 1
Throttle 100 - 100 - 100 - 100 - 100 - 100 - 100

Yep there is a chart on here somewhere that talks about the relationship ummm ah here we go http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=32267
