flying without CP2 ON

[vanguy]

I decided to fly without my CP2 ON and did noticed that my bird is more twitchy and not flying as smooth. The CP2 seems to act as some sort of expo and definitely makes my flying much smoother. I have my stick priority at 150% and 0 autotrim. I did a few rolls and flips without much drama. My next step is to set up CP2 for inverted hover.

So when i install my cp2 i won't need the same amount of expo? I run 30% on A and E w/dx7. So you can do flips and rolls? I wish I could find some vids of flips and rolls with cp2 active.

I would try turning expo to 20%. As for rolls and flips, I must admit they are not that hard to do. For a roll, I just move my stick all the way to the right and when the bird is almost upside down, I give it a bit of negative pitch. As the bird rotate back to level flight, give it positive pitch and center the stick. Do it very high up so you have pretty of height to recover in case something goes wrong like forgetting to give it negative pitch. My first rolls were a bit sloppy because I gave it too much negative pitch and the bird just shot up in the air. Now my rolls are a bit more tight and no dramas. The first time you do it, your heart will be pounding and hand sweating.
