SK360 settings review please!

[caralmar]

Hey, posted this in the FBL forum and realize maybe I should have started on this one... I posted all my settings and a detailed description of flight characteristics. I'm looking for more "agility" out of my bird... please give me some recommendations.

Thanks!

Wow, your control rates are high .. but if you like that, then OK.

For more agility, maybe you can turn up the Bell, turn down the Hiller, and increase Hiller Decay.

Not sure on the smaller birds,
but on my T700 and Vibe 50's I am running

Elevator Aileron
Control rate 260 260
Bell Gain 50 50
Hiller Gain 50 50
Damping Gain 21 19
Tail Drag comp -6 0

Use Base gains directly
Hiller decay at 150

I have +/- 11 degrees of cyclic, and +/-13 on collective


I guess what you mean by agility is a question.
Control rate sets the maximum flip and roll rate you will attain at full stick deflection, assuming you have enough cyclic authority and head speed to drive it.
Bell gain sets how fast the heli will go from stopped to maximum control throw. Think of this like super light paddles versus heavy. Both will eventually attain the same roll rate dictated by cyclic throw, but light paddles will accelerate to max rate quicker.
Hiller gain sets how much stabilizing effect you have. This is like running heavier paddles in stable flight
