FT Viggen with AR636 AS3X?
Short story - anybody have a Viggen AR636 AS3X setup file to share?
Longer story - I'm completing my build for a Viggen speed build kit I purchased at FF 2016. First off, if there is any plane you buy a speed build kit instead of hand cutting, this is the one! Holy cow! I'm glad I got the speed build kit. I'm normally about 50/50 on planes I print the plans and hand cut or purchase SB kits. I'm glad I purchased this one.
Anyway, on to my question. I flew a smaller plane with AS3X built in and was so impressed with how well it tracked I purchased a Spektrum AR636 RX to go in the Viggen. Well aware that the RX itself cost 3 times what I paid for the airframe. I also purchased the programming cables (both USB and phone/audio) and have begun setting it up. Wow there is a lot you can adjust! I've got all the control surfaces setup, throws correct in all 3 flight modes with 30% expo setup on the RX. I set dual rates using the TX as there is no way to switch rates in the RX without having a newer AS3X compatible TX. My question comes down to the gains on Rate Mode and Head Hold mode. Anybody have any experience on a good starting percentage? Same goes for priority.
