Can anyone help me out here. I just brought the latest version of Reflex and am trying to replicate my Rap 50. I have managed to set it up pretty close to the real thing but it hovers at about 75% stick and I want it to hover at 50%.
How do I change this?
Do I need to make the adjustments in the Sim or on my radio?
Also I dont run an RPM control (Guvenor) on my real model so I want to do without one in the sim but when I uncheck that box the heli lifts off but if I go above 80% throttle the headspeed slows down and the heli dives, can anyone help with this?

Cheers

I know it has been awhile. Hope you are still there.

You need to change you pitch and power curves probably to something similar to what you have in the real Rap 50.

There are two way to use reflex relating to radio and sim setup.

1.) The radio is setup for an airplane with simple 4-channel input for control and one for auto rotation. The sim does the mixing for throttle / collective and swash. So you would have to change things in the Sim menus.

2) The other way is to go into the sim and make some changes from the default settings telling it that the radio will do the mixing like on the real heli model. You turn off throttle/collective mixing and governor on the sim and set the radio up to do the mixing. The swash type needs to be set at "one servo" on my JR's. I think some use 90-degree swash and it works. This is the way to go for more realistic use allowing you to tune the radio sim to be more like your model or a real model. Then you would set the pitch and power curves on you TX.

So, if you turn off the governor you also need to uncheck the box for the sim doing the mixing and set up the radio to do the mixing. Quite a different setup.
