Hi,
I am reasonably pleased with my success to date with this unit despite having limited time to play with it.
Wanted to fine tune my set up and get the AFR value for AIL up from 50 to 60 for 8.5 degrees cyclic (I think there is a relationship between AFR value and the gain value that can be used, but not sure). What worked for me was hole pitch 17.5mm on the large futaba servo wheel.
Almost at the last step - linkage compensation (para. 1, page 123). Whilst i successfully mixed out interaction at low stick, I cannot achieve the same for high stick. I am at 100 in SWcp.ELE. Now, granted, its a massive improvement but still not perfect! Maybe a smidgen less than 1 mm, whereas the swash ball is motionless at low stick (at only 72 SWcp.ELE).
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? Or perhaps its a limitation of the direct swash to servo geometry?
With thanks.
Ps - does anyone know why its so important to carry out the pitch calibration process (para. 2, page 121) before the linkage compensation?
