Mini Titan Throttle and Pitch Curves

[JWeber]

My MT is arriving later this week and I'm thinning about setup. Just wondering what people have for pitch and throttle curves.

Thanks in advance.

You've got two choices; either use the stock curves the Mini Titan comes with

Throttle 0,45,65,85,100
Pitch 40,57, 75,87,100

but will make it fly like a fixed pitch because you're speeding up/slowing down the motor with every pitch input.

Or you can go the governed route, and set a flat throttle curve and let the pitch curves do all the work. This is easier on all components.

Throttle 0,85,85,85,85
Pitch 17,46,65,85,100

I recommend fixed line throttle to run at say 2600 rpm and a 0 to 100 straight line pitch curve. For me it just keeps it all simple. You just have to learn from day 1 not to give too much negative pitch.

Without a governor how would I determine my rotor RPM?

See if you can borrow an rpm sensor from someone at a flying field maybe.

Or, if u have an iphone, the helitach app will do the trick.

Most escs come with a governor, and it sets the speed automatically depending on what flat throttle curve you have.

What esc are you getting?

Here's the curves I use, without governor:

Normal:
T: 0-70-80-90-100
P: 35-50-65-80-95

IdleUp:
T: 100-95-90-95-100
P: 0-25-50-75-100

I find that I tweak them often, but return to these as a reference when things get out of whack.
