More 'Spartan-like' feel with Spirit?

[trillian]

Just curious if anyone has changed a heli from the Spartan VX1/VX1N or e, over to a Spirit, and if you tried to get close to the same control feel?

Most of my helis have the VX1 and are setup using the heli wizard and the '3D' setting in the style wizard.

I am now experimenting with the Spirit FBL on my Trex 500. With the default settings everything is a bit slower. I played around a bit with the cyclic feed forward and style settings but next time out I am trying it with the rotation rate on cyclic and tail, up one tick higher.

Unfortunately it is much more tedious making changes at the field compared to the Spartan, but once it is dialed-in I can take the same approach to the next one.

Anyway, if you have emulated the 3D preset from the Spartan I'd be curious to know what settings you arrived at in the Spirit. I don't expect it to be exactly the same, just close enough. (I did a search on the Spirit forum and saw nothing on this subject)

The Spirit as a bit slow on default settings. The cyclic and tail rotation rates makes a big difference, I usually end up a few points up from default (and I'm far from a hard flyer). It's very easy to make changes in the field. You can map all these parameters to channels on your Tx and make changes in flight.

Here's a little video I made of how to map channels to setup parameters on the Spirit.. i did this because the Vcontrol guys were bragging that Vcontrol was the only system capable of doing this, it's not!

Alternatively you can use Tx integration to make changes after you land.. either way it's very quick and easy.
