  • Cyclock misc

    'Just curious if anyone is using a cyclock and if there's anything I should watch out for before flying?

    I have just put one on my Ely.Q Ultimate and went through the setup yesterday and I think I have it very well dailed-in.

    Two things are a bit peculiar and this is probably a side-effect of the swash geometry on the Vision 50;

    1. I could not tune out a tendency to get a left aileron input with up or down elevator (was worse with up elevator but both directions cause it). So this I dailed out with the remaining mix in the DX7

    2. In the Cyclock there is no elevator to aileron interaction corrector. I assume this is because they figure the aileron will stay put and also it might fall under something that can be corrected with the swash phase adjustment. I think where the Ely.Q swash throws a spanner in the works is that you don't get the same direction of phase offset as it changes when the swash tilts.

    Anyway, I have gone through, levelled everything, tuned out all interactions I can see. I have it setup for +/- 11 of collective and 7 degrees of cyclic.

    In theory the Ely.Q should now fly very precisely
