Comment:
Mainly a short flight to check the new balance tape and correct the tracking: the “black” blade needed 1 turn more pitch (which roughly gave it +1° compared to the other blade). After that some basic flying around with stall turns. Did some adjustments on the throttle-curve to keep the rpm up when braking with some negative pitch.
I also measured out the pitch-curve. Here are the results:
| Tx | Red pitch | Black pitch | Average pitch | Diff pitch |
| 0% | -11.00 | -10.50 | -10.75 | 0.50 |
| 10% | -10.00 | -9.00 | -9.50 | 1.00 |
| 20% | -7.75 | -7.00 | -7.38 | 0.75 |
| 30% | -5.50 | -4.50 | -5.00 | 1.00 |
| 40% | -3.00 | -2.00 | -2.50 | 1.00 |
| 50% | -0.50 | 0.50 | 0.00 | 1.00 |
| 60% | 2.50 | 3.50 | 3.00 | 1.00 |
| 70% | 5.50 | 6.50 | 6.00 | 1.00 |
| 80% | 8.00 | 9.00 | 8.50 | 1.00 |
| 90% | 10.25 | 11.00 | 10.63 | 0.75 |
| 100% | 11.00 | 12.00 | 11.50 | 1.00 |
Or graphically:
This allowed me to calculate the Curve settings to get a nice -9:0:+9° pitch curve, which I configured as IdleUp1: 12.4% – 32.0% – 50.0% – 65.0% – 82.4%
