Really stupid noob ?, RF G3.5 controller..

[zaboaa]

Tried to research this with no luck. What are the three toggle switches on the interlink for (Helicopter) I know one is Idle up, one is throttle hold, and one is dual rate. But I have no idea what they do, is there good site with these terms defined? Or more directly, how do you use them? I bought this with the idea of upgrading to a more advanced heli (right now I have a Lama V4 and Blade CX), so I am a complete noob at this stuff. Thanks for the help...

I'll keep an eye on this thread as I'm an RC nOOb too and would also like to know what they do!

I have the same question. But here is what i did i put something in the air and hit the toggle to see what it does. I cant explain the results though because not to much happened

Since no one wants to answer, here is what I've learned on my sim (G3.5). The idle up (3 posit switch) seems to increase power available in each position. I find I can hoover ok in the lowest position (pushed back), but the helo is almost uncontolable in the 3rd position (maybe this for real aggressive flight, 3D?). As far as the right top hand switch (throttle hold) , it seems to take all the power transfer from the engine to blades away. Don't know why you would do this (maybe auto rotation or crashes?). As far as the middle (below the idle up switch), book says dual rate, I have no idea what it's used for, seems to have no efeect (might be for airplanes). Hopfeully someone corrects me. I will continue to search the web for a defination data base and post it if I find one.
