In this article, John Glezellis discusses the advantages of using throttle curves in radio control aircraft, specifically with the Katana S and DA-170 engine. He emphasizes the importance of selecting the right propeller based on elevation and adjusting throttle curves accordingly. Glezellis provides insights on programming throttle curves using the JR 12X transmitter, encouraging pilots to refer to their manuals for specific instructions.
