Post subject: Throttle/Pitch curve question
Quote 
I noticed recently when I get to certain altitudes, the heli does not hover. Either she goes up or goes down. I notice it most at about 2 feet off the ground when landing(heli drops) or at about 10-15 feet. I fly the DX7 which has a ratcheted collective. One notch the heli climbs, the lower notch the heli starts to drop. There is no in-between. Is this a throttle/pitch curve problem? Blades are tracked correctly.

Thanks for any ideas, Dave
