FUTABA 10CAG User Manual

101
Revo. mixing rates are 5-point curves. For a clockwise-turning rotor, the rudder is mixed in the clockwise direction
when collective pitch is increased; for counterclockwise-turning, the opposite. Change the operating direction setting by
changing the signs of the numbers in the curve from plus (+) to minus (-) and vice-versa. Suggested defaults:
Clockwise rotation: -20, -10, 0, +10, +20% from low throttle to high.
Counterclockwise rotation: +20, +10, 0, -10, -20% from low throttle to high.
Adjust to the actual values that work best for your model.
Revo. curves for idle-ups are often v-shaped to provide proper rudder input with negative pitch and increased throttle

throttle stick below half has increased throttle and negative pitch, therefore increasing torque and rotating the helicopter

different throttle curves, collective pitch curves, revo. mixing, and trims (except
IDLE-3
) to make the helicopter perform
certain maneuvers more easily. Lastly, the gyro and dual rate functions may be set to provide separate rates per condition
selected, including one for each idle-up.

To do so, the pitch curve is set to 0 pitch at half stick, positive pitch (climb upright) above half, and negative pitch (climb
when inverted) below half stick. The throttle curve is adjusted to allow the engine to run consistently throughout the
changes in pitch.
Additional idle-ups may be used to maximize the helicopter's flight characteristics in certain types of flight (i.e. fast
forward motion, backward) or maneuvers (loops, rolls, stall turns), or even the same maneuver but changing from heading-

• Activated with the throttle curve for that condition in
THR-CURVE
.
• Curves are adjusted to maintain constant RPM even when the collective pitch
is negative (inverted).
• Note that
REVO
.mixing has one curve for idle-ups 1 and 2 and a second curve just for idle-up3.
• Gyro settings may be set separately for each idle-up. (See p. 101.)
