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.
RC Scale Aerobatics - 2015/04
As a pilot begins an RC Aerobatics competition career, he or she will start in the Basic category and advance to the Unlimited class. This requires dedication to perfect the sequences being flown and to learn the techniques required to tune competition airframes. Although all basic core maneuvers are the same between categories, the elements found within them can differ—which brings me to this month’s topic.
