I guess the wizard only shows the simplified settings, there must be more adjustments being made in the background which I am guessing you can probably see in the advanced menu.

I tried the bailout a few more times and its good, but does translate forward quite a bit. Do I adjust that mechanically by shortening the linkage arm from the elevator to the swash (pulling the swash back)? or can it be dialed in using the software??
Max, the advanced menu has a ton of settings you can dial in that are not shown in the wizard. The ones I mainly play with are the rotational rates, depending on your skill level they limit the roll and rotate rates the heli will do.

As for the forward translation, they recommend you do it mechanically but you can adjust in SW on panel 7. I find it depends on the heli, my MSH has infinite adjustment servo horns and a swash plate leveler so I did it mechanically on that one. My Goblin does not, so I fine tuned it using panel 7. I find both fly fine with both methods, so up to you.

Is your bailout an extension of the flight mode? If possible they recommend using a separate channel and switch. I have 3 flight modes on both my heli's with ikon's, I use the internal governor so I have a flight mode for getting off the ground, then 2 more for the type of flight I want. I use another channel with my top left switch for rescue. This is the recommended setup...

Thanks,

Tom
