Difference between roll rate and feed forward gain

[dcaccount]

Hello,
I would like to increase then rotational speed of my Hely for both flips and rolls.

I have been told to work on the roll rate and on the feed forward gain.

Not having understood the interaction between the two parameters, I wonder if I have to increase both parameters or just one.

Can you please clarify this issue for me?

Thanks a lot, daniele

Just increase the roll rate for what you want.

Feed forward can help on tic tocs and smack. It lessens the gyro control and gives your stick more direct input to the servos.

Regarding both... should aileron and elevator feed forward or roll rates be equal? Or is it per feel?

[Russell Harding]

Roll rates in almost all cases yes.

Feed forward can be a touch different because of the inertia of the tail boom. Usually 5 Pts higher on ele.

Interesting, thanks for replying.
