F3C Settings

[Mutley]

Just wondered what people are using.

I'm guessing people do use it to practice in phoenix so just wondering what your using and what settings. I'm reluctant to dial a model down for what i think is stable enough and find its too much.

All seem to be to lively from the outset.

Also, I've seen a video that has a grid in the sky but there doesnt appear to be an option in my version to view this grid, anyone know ?

I use the standard Vibe SG. But since I'm officially Finland's worst F3C pilot, that doesn't mean much
You can enable the grid in the menu: "View / Display / Show sky orientation".
I sometimes use a dual rate switch on the radio to slow it down a bit. If you want to edit the model instead, reduce the cyclic flip / roll rate.

is that it, sky orientation lol, oops

I'm nearly there on an avant aurora settings, with expo on so i think i'll post them up afterwards to see what people think.

to get the most out of the simulator, I'd rather fly with no expo and even offset all the trims once you can do the moves with standard settings. This forces you to learn all corrections at any time during the move.
It is already too easy with a near-perfect heli and usually no wind.

i hear ya, i'm literally just starting in F3C so am thinking i want the routine in my head and to practice the moves and get used to them, while not dialing everything down i'm actually just tuning it to how i think it feels at the field.

And i always fly in phoenix with a light breeze on - never off

what I should mention is that the hardcore F3C pilots I know do not use the simulator. They spend the weekend at the field instead and burn loads of fuel

I will too when i get my .90's converted to electric and my 12s packs arrive in

Still not entirly finished the cad mock ups for converting to electric yet, i've still got to finish fabrication, hence my practice at the moment is 450 and simulator.

Not ideal but hey - its still enjoyable
