Hello,
due to the recent interest in FBL, I made this little video, and my poor helis had to suffer for it
.
The servos need enough authority on the blades, especially for cyclic. Otherwise, the heli won't fly too well.
This video attempts to give some idea, how stiff the blades should feel. If they clearly offer less resistance than in the video, the setup is wrong. This is also the point behind Mikado's "cyclic gain" calculation tool (which is unfortunately not available in English language edit oh yes it is, see below).
The shown helis are setup accordingly (the 700 hasn't flown yet, but is done "according to the book".
More info is in the description on youtube.
