I'm guessing I move the ball farther out on the arm. I'm using 9451s with the X arm and it's already at the last hole. Addingly, in normal my 1st point on my pitch curve is 45 to get me in the air. That gives me about negative 5 low stick in normal. I know this is random info, but can someone point me in the right direction?

More throw won't always make your cyclic faster, if you go more than 6 or 7 degrees total cyclic throw on the main blades you will actually be bogging the head and slowing it down.

Have you tried lighter paddles? On the 50 that would be the greens.

I made a mistake, I meant my collective stick not cyclic.

Oh you should be able to run atleast +- 10

Make sure you are using the inner ball hole on the collective arm and getting atleast that with a 0 to 100 linear pitch curve, then go from there.

Mid stick should be 0 degrees pitch, hover at 3/4 and 5 degrees.
