You can't go wrong with a Brain2/iKon2 👍

I love the Zermatt scheme!! I have an Alterbaum 429 that will be getting that scheme.

You need a chalk outline for the guy in pieces!

Nice touches for the drivers. Some good dissection can go a long way to add some great detail. I have dissected very pricy action figures to get the right look.

Nice job,

B

Adjusting your sticks should have nothing to do with the flight controller. It has everything to do with mechanical setup and travel distance at certain stick points (e.g. a pitch curve). In the Heli Courses area, there's a video course on head setup that walks through this.

Agree with Michael. I generally configure my collective setup so it is -3 deg on the low side and +11.5 deg on the high side. That’s pretty much all there is too it.

I use the pitch curve as last optimization step and tuning for 2 main things - max 3-4 points:
- flaten the curve on the hover zone to create some cushion
- temporary compensate hot weather/lack of density by increasing the pitch on the mid upper range (I do on 2nd flight, difference is impressive)

Note: for me, no assignment to rotating wheel or switch, I remember better the change as visual memory item

id simply do like everyone else said. +4 or +5 at mid stick and whatever you want at full pitch and whatever at low pitch. you can use a pitch curve with ikon. it won't hurt anything.

Massimo,

Looks nice and solid in the air. Nice pedal turns during slow flight.

Great job,

B
