Default Cyclic ??

I have the new Mini titan from TT its stock with 401. HS 56 servos everywhere but the tail where I have a 85mg. My question is how do I program my cyclic to be a little smoother? It seems like if I breath on the stick she jumps up a nd even worse I panic and she drops like mad. side note: I have killed many helos with the dreaded plank flyer syndrome (throttle chop)

Thanks for any help

I am using the JR 9303 and a 770 pcm receiver.

You could have 0 pitch at low stick. It wouldn't drive itself into the ground that way - or even a degree or two till you get the hovering under control. Do you have it where mid stick is zero pitch? I like it on my Raptor 50, but set up a T-rex the same way and it was "jumpy." We changed it to -3, 0, 3, 6, 10 (degrees) on the pitch curve and it was much smoother.

With JR you'll want to add positive expo to soften the controls. With futaba it's negative.Try about 15-20%, and work from there.

Cheers,

Colin
