Change default pitch curves in heli template #69

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

The default pitch curves will be difficult to learn to fly a heli with.  
Finless Bob does a good explanation of how and why you should set them up like 
the curves I will give below.  See Bob's video here: 
http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/generic&filename=curves101.wmv

The throttle curves are variable and depend on the motor used, those look to be 
just fine for starters.
Here is the new curve 4(pitch curve in ID0)
ID0 is the curve used for starting the heli and non-inverted flight.
points in order from left to right:
-30 -15 0 50 100
And curve 5 (pitch curve in ID1, ID2) This allows for inverted flight
-100 -50 0 50 100

The way it is setup now.  If one were to switch into ID2 from ID1 in flight the 
heli will suddenly drop and a quick reaction will be required to save the heli.

Ok for those of you who don't want to sign up at helifreak.  
Basically Bob says that heli flyers should use the top half of throttle stick 
travel for upright flight.  Even if that is all you will be doing.  This is in 
case you want to start doing aerobatics, you won't have to relearn how to 
handle the throttle/pitch stick.  With the way he sets his up switching flight 
modes (ID0, ID1, ID2) will not cause the heli to jump too much.  In a hover 
which would be approx 75% stick travel the pitch curves always match.  The 
throttle changes some between ID1 and ID2.  So when you change from ID0 to ID1 
you should notice no change in the heli.
