Heli Edit Question

I am using the Interlink dx transmitter and would like to know if a heli can be edited to change the pitch and throttle cures, and if so, how? Basically just starting. Thx
 
Since you're using the InterLink DX and therefore have the software radio active, it goes something like this:
  1. Open the heli in the aircraft editor. I'm going to use the Gaui X7 as an example.
  2. Select the Radio tab.
  3. We set up all of our stock helis with throttle on Output Channel 3 and collective pitch on Output Channel 6. For user-made content, your mileage may vary.
  4. Let's start with throttle curve. Click to expand Output Channel 3.
  5. Observe the 4 inputs: Normal, Idle Up 1, Idle Up 2, and Hold. As you might guess, exactly which one of these inputs is being used at any given time during flight depends on which flight mode is selected.
  6. Let's start with the Normal mode throttle curve. Click on Normal.
  7. Locate Curve in the parameters list and click on <<Graph Points>>.
  8. Open the curve editor by clicking on the ... button that appears at the far-right of the line.
  9. You can see that in Normal flight mode, the throttle curve ramps up to 40% and then stays there for most of the throttle input range. (The headspeed governor setup will naturally affect what the motor is actually doing in flight... You will find governors under the Electronics tab.)
  10. Click anywhere in the grid to see additional instructions for editing the curve.
  11. Make changes if you like. When you're done, close the curve editor and click on Idle Up 1 in the pane on the left. Then click its <<Graph Points>> and ... to view its curve. You will see that it is always set to 85%, regardless of what the throttle input stick is doing. That allows you to feed in negative collective while inverted without shutting off your motor and falling out of the sky!
If you continue on like this, you will see that in Idle Up 2 throttle is set at 100% all the time, and in Hold it is all the way down, as you would expect.

Now that you know how to edit and manipulate these curves, you can go on to view/edit the collective pitch curves under Output Channel 6. You will see that for all the different flight modes they are linear, from -100% to +100%, so that you still have full control of the blade pitch regardless of what the motor is doing (permitting autorotations, among other things).

I hope this helps!
