Default Re: Precision and flutter worry

I use two different models in the transmitter, one for Imac, one for 3D. To switch to 3D, I pop the balls off the servo arms and screw the horns in ten turns.

The increased mechanical advantage in IMAC mode eases my mind with regard to flutter issues. That gives me about 25 degrees IMAC, 40 or so 3D.

I also use full throttle on the flats for 4 and 8 points with my Dalton 260 as it presents much better.

Lately I find myself leaving it on the IMAC model for 3D anyhow. The plane doesn't waterfall well at the current CG, and I can do enough for a good freestyle (including high alpha rolls and hovering) with 25 degrees.
