Flanker52 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I'm a bit confused on the Uh-1 throttle. The way I am flying is I have the throttle fully maxed the whole time. Is this realistic and correct? Is the governor basically adjusting the throttle for us? I thought in real life Huey pilots needed to adjust the throttle manually depending on the power requirement. If anyone has knowledge of this - that would be great. Thanks!
Flagrum Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Yes, it is supposed to be that way. The govenor takes care of the correct throttle settings. If you disable the govenor, you have to adjust the throttle yourself.
Trase Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Don't confuse throttle with collective. Collective is the angle of the blades, and it's what you constantly need to adjust, this is what gives you more or less lift. Throttle on an aircraft adjusts the speed of the rotors, which, ideally, always stays the same.
