i have a titan se with the os hyper 50 and curtis gov with 600 blades also 5 point pitch curve wat should my pitch be at the 5 points i cant get it right?

GunnyGlow · 12-06-2009, 10:56 AM

Depends on what flight mode you're setting up. For the most part it should be linear....0 - 50 - 100

Except normal and TH. Those can and probably should be different.

What problem are you having?

heliman45 · 12-06-2009, 11:31 AM

the engine keeps boging righ now i am -9 -13 0 13 9

GunnyGlow · 12-06-2009, 12:06 PM

Those are your actual pitch readings on the blades??

What is your pitch curve in the radio??

heliman45 · 12-06-2009, 02:53 PM

idk i go by the blades

GunnyGlow · 12-06-2009, 04:17 PM

Well the blades go by the radio...so to figure out why you're getting 13 degrees pitch at points 2 and 4 we gotta figure out what value you have your pitch curve set to.

What kind of radio is it?

heliman45 · 12-06-2009, 05:48 PM

its a futaba radio and i am running an s curve is that the wrong way to do that? i want a better pop when i pull out inverted.

jtjeep75 · 12-06-2009, 06:52 PM

is your throttle curve set up as an s as well?

GunnyGlow · 12-06-2009, 08:01 PM

Is it a 7C radio?? Thats what I have.

An S curve is fine if thats how you prefer it. But I would suppose that one so curvy that you're getting more pitch at points 2 and 4 is not a good thing.

Why not try setting everything up with a linear curve and slowly working your way into an S curve? It will really help to have an optical tach and a buddy to help do this. But going from very little pitch to 13 degrees has got to put a huge strain on the engine.

heliman45 · 12-07-2009, 10:50 AM

ya it does i just was going off of wat i thought was a good curve i guess i was wrong.

GunnyGlow · 12-07-2009, 07:38 PM

You might still end up going back to an S curve if thats your thing. My pitch curves are not perfectly linear. I like a little extra pitch around center stick to help compensate for the thin air up here.

heliman45 · 12-08-2009, 05:38 AM

ok thanks man ill start at linear wat head speed are you running?

GunnyGlow · 12-08-2009, 07:29 AM

I"m pretty sure I"ve got 1800 in normal, 1950 in IU 1, and 2000 or 2100 in IU2(can't recall at the moment.)

I think a higher headspeed will give you alot of what you're looking for. Especially that extra little POP around center stick. BUT!!! Beware of the plastic parts in the stock Raptor head wearing out quickly. And also be aware that a higher headspeed might "spoil" you and possibly hurt your collective management skills more than help. Know what I mean?

ya i understand wat your saying thanks a lot i have an all metal head on both of my rappy 50s and i am arunning 2200 head speed.
