Seems oversensitive.

[Darwil]

Hi folks I'm enjoying myself on Phoenix and am sure it's doing my flying good.
I've got it set up with my dx6i and it all seems ok when playing about, but when I get to the serious bits (tutorials) I find that the sticks seem to be mega sensitive especially on hover practice is this normal or is there a way of adjusting the sensitivity?

[tiddler]

Have you got any expo set up in your DX6i ?

I'd add 30% expo to elevator & aileron to start with but to be honest I've always found hover training much more difficult than in real life - probably the best way to be.

On the settings for D/R & EXPO I've got
Aile 0 100% inh
Elev 0 100% inh
Rudd 0 100% inh
Does this explain anything - I am a complete novice at setting up! Need to learn sharpish lol.
Thanks

OK the first figure is the switch Elev/DR, Ail/DR and Rudd/DR switch position and can be set to either pos 0 or pos 1, Leave the D/R set at 100% but select where it says inh and change that to about + 30%. The higher the percentage the more expo you have.

Ok thanks, but what's expo?
Thanks

Expo softens the controls around the centre point making them less sensitive.

[Darwil]

Thanks buddy, good to know these sorts of things, think I'll have a play with my msr settings to see what it does there :-).

Stands for exponential, if you recall your maths classes, you'll get how it softens ( by requiring more travel) the controls around the centre stick. Flip side of course is that once you get past that 30% area, controls sharpen up much quicker than they previously did. The overall maximum throw remains unchanged, it all just comes in a bit later on, if that makes sense.

Erm maths classes..... that was a l o n g time ago lol, school was 40+ years ago, last maths at college was 15 years ago - I understood what exp was but not how it applied to heli controls; sorted now thanks all!

ps just trying it out - much better, try adjustments now to see what suits me.
gyro settings are 50% is this normal?

[tiddler]

You don't need to set up the gyro menu when using Phoenix as its all pre set within the program itself.
