| I think your problem may be in the throttle curve, not the engine adjustment. If you are producing a decent amount of smoke throughout the engine range and not overheating, your pretty well on the mark. You know already, too lean means flame out. I would try this: (Assuming you are using a 5 point system) A pitch curve with 0 deg at point 3, 5 1/5 deg at point 4, full positive at point 5, full neg at point 1 and average point 2. On your throttle: set point 3 around 40% +/- This setting should drive the head at the rpm you wish to maintain. At point 4, up it to 63%+/-. This is your hover point and your head speed should not drop or rise. Set point 5 at wide open throttle. Point 1 should be at idle. Point 2 will need to be played with to get a good transition throttling up and a setting which will not over drive the head on a descent to landing.
Play with it for a while and you will find the sweet spot for your engines, airframes and flying style. |
