Quick update as Skookum have replied to my email.

Having look at my set up they recommend two things.

1. Increase my cyclic pitch from 10 to 12 degrees, as I am running a lower headspeed.
2. Lower my Hiller Decay

Good to know we're on the right track

I've lowered the Hiller Decay to 45% and it's flying much better now. I flew in 20 mph winds today performing big fast circuits and it was holding it attitude in the wind well

With multiblades and a lower headspeed the Hiller Decay definitely needed to be lower

Well happy with it now
