I think I'm starting to fully understand the combination of the Throttle Curve and Pitch Curve. Because of the cold weather lately, I've not actually flown my 500 in quite some time. However, I do remember that my heli was flying very well. Nothing extreme, just soft and slow circuits. I've been practicing auto-rotations alot on the sim lately and I have to say that I'm doing quite well. I will probably have 90% success. I have my Pitch Curve, on HOLD, set to 45,47.5,50,75,100 and no matter what heli, on the sim, that I attempt and auto with...I can bring the heli down very gently and under control.
Now...I've not attempted an auto with my 500 yet. I've only recently understood the process for a successful auto..hence the sim practice. I realize that there are so many differences between sim flight and real flight...nervousness being one main difference, lol. Do you think that the above stated Pitch Curve would be successful in an actual "real auto" attempt with my 500? Or should I lower the first two points a bit more to keep up head speed on the way down? I wanna be able to bring the heli down gently and under control but still keep up head speed...obviously.
