P5: +11

Ideal 1 Throttle Curve:

P2: 95%
P3: 90%
P4: 95%
P5: 100%

Normal Pitch Curve:
P1:0%P2:25%P3:50%P4:75%P5:100%

your throttle curve depends on your setup ( pitch and linkage setup also). pitch curve in normal i run -5 -3 0 -5.5 +10 idle up 1 and 2 are -10 -5.5 0 +5.5 +10 the difference is throttle. Throttle setting at hover stick(3/4 stick) is 60% throttle as noted on the CARB, thats normal, idle 1 is 70% with a v-curve (100 70 50 70 100) idle 2 is ( 100 80 50 80 100).
That also suits MY flying style, that .37 loves 30% nitro by the way.:smokin:
