wren 44 with futaba t18sz

what is a good set-up mid stick on the throttle curve to keep the turbine at a good rpm,s as you come back down on the pitch to keep the rotor speed up as not to drop in rotor speed in forward flight, and the turbine drop,s down to a point that the helicopter starts to drop before the turbine gets back up to speed.

I don't recall the exact curve I had, but I used to have on my Wren54/Predator two idle settings. One was basic idle at around 40k and then a "flight idle" at around 80k that would allow the turbine to spool up faster if the throttle was chopped.

I can't even exactly recall who recommended the setup but I am pretty sure it was Chris Bergen...

Cheers,

Paul
