Autorotaation suoritus?

Vanha topic...

also check that throttle hold uses the full pitch range of the head. Depending on the setup, this can make a dramatic difference.
For example:
My 450 uses 5..95 % pitch curve in all flight modes, and 0..100 in throttle hold. 5 % difference isn't much.

On the 700, on the other hand, I fly with 16..84 %. Autos with that get quite awkward (been there done that forgot to use throttle hold when the ESC shut down).

"also check that throttle hold uses the full pitch range of the head. Depending on the setup, this can make a dramatic difference."

On this one I have to disagree. Unless there is a severe front wind you do not need all the negative that you can get. I noticed, that when my max neg pitch is 9 deg, I only lower the throttle stick about a half down measured from the center point of the stick. This is about -5, maybe -6 degrees. As explained in the "kopteriopas", too much negative kills the inertia pretty efectively...

On the other hand, of course, it´s all the same if your hold pitch range reaches all the way down. You still don´t have to pull the stick all the way down, but this makes the smooth auto more difficult to perform.

right, and that's not what I meant. Full negative in emergencies maybe, otherwise around -5 or so. No, full positive pitch, for the last meter.

Yeah, ok, I also don´t know what you meant. But anyhow, frontwind, dare to try...

[mnentwig]

simple ...
with +13 your skids will say "thank you"
with only +8 they will say "thsnk you SIR may I have another"

Oh, you´re quoting animal house.

But yes, you´re absolutely right. And have made more auto´s than me, so...
