At Parameter menu point '''M''' the collective pitch will automatically be set to hovering position, which will be used when AttitudeControl is activated and the helicopter is oriented horizontally. Ideally the pitch angle is exactly as large as it is necessary to maintain a stationary hovering flight without ascending or descending. Typically this is somewhere in the range between 5 and 6 degrees. Depending on your personal preference you may also use a higher pitch, so that the heli climbs up and gains altitude when AttitudeControl is activated. But this is not recommended as you may easily get disoriented or loose sight of the heli when it climbs up fast. Also when the heli still is moving forwards, additional pitch will cause the heli to speed up.<br > | At Parameter menu point '''M''' the collective pitch will automatically be set to hovering position, which will be used when AttitudeControl is activated and the helicopter is oriented horizontally.
