If you need to bail out simple switch to idle 2 to power back up. Make sure Throttle Response is

Heli: Governor High: (Helicopter).
Use when Governor Low won’t provide the head-speed you want. Set up is the same as Governor low.
Generally, governor low is for high Kv motors. Governor High is for low Kv motors. The reason for the two
governor settings is to accommodate all motor system.
Note: Selecting any helicopter specific throttle setting also change voltage ‘Cut Off’ type to ‘Soft Cut Off’’
and disable all brake functions. However, these setting changes are not reflected in the ‘Cut Off’ type’ or
the ‘Brake’ settings.

Heli: Fixed Endpoints: (Helicopter).
This is an entirely new throttle type that allows you to use manual throttle for flight while preventing
sudden high-powered motor starts that can harm your gears. Setting up your transmitter for Fixed Throttle
is the same as setting up a fuel heli. Use this throttle mode if you prefer mixing your own pitch/throttle
curves on your transmitter for collective helicopters, or want a “bail out” option when practicing auto
rotations. Once the ESC is armed, if you throttle up quickly to a mid-throttle point (or release the throttle
hold/cut button), the heli will smoothly spool up to that throttle level. Once that throttle level is reached, full
power and throttle response are now available with changing throttle/pitch levels on the stick. Think of the
throttle in terms of a glow/gas engine. Don't return to absolute 0 RPMs, always keep it at an idle unless
you want to re-engage the slow spool routine.

Note that the Throttle Response setting will still serve to act as to modify the speed of throttle changes
when this mode is selected. Start with low throttle response then move this setting up until the heli
responds as you like it. Be careful, high throttle response is very fast and powerful and it is easy for
powerful setups to strip gears at high settings.

You will need to program the following flight modes into your TX to operate a collective pitch heli
with the various start and flight modes.

Utilize your idle settings/switch or the throttle hold/cut button for start-up and shut down, then flip into one
of the flight modes suggested here:
of the flight modes suggested here:
1. Start-up/shut down (Idle/flight mode) – you’ll most likely want to use a linear “airplane” throttle
curve from zero to 100% here, to show the ESC a low throttle for arming, and to stop the motor.
You can also set your throttle hold/cut button/switch for zero throttle and use it to arm and shut
down in either of the flight modes below. Normal Flight Mode (Idle/flight mode

2. Set your desired head-speed using the throttle % at middle stick and move it up or down to get
the head-speed you want. Depending on your motor, you’ll need to complete a “V” curve with
slightly higher throttle %’s on either side of the middle throttle point to maintain head-speed with
changes in pitch. A good test is to spool up the heli on the ground, and tach the head at full
negative pitch. Use this reading to adjust the outermost throttle % to get the desired head-speed
at full negative and positive pitch.
