If your cyclic gain is too high you can have very sensitive controls in fff so you could try lowering it to see if it helps. W the pitching up issue try raising the pitch up compensation a point at a time til it improves or gets worse. Check cg as well... |

Hi, first from all I recommend to verify CG. It looks like something is very off - mechanically not correct. If CG is not correct unit will try to hold it, but during FFF forces are changing a lot so compensations are not accurate. You should never use any trim or subtrim in the transmitter. It should be zeroed all the time. Next possibility is that vibrations are extremely high so I recommend to perform vibration analysis (without main blades). This is also good to check overal state of the helicopter just to be sure everything is good. If you observe abnormal sensitivity for elevator or extremely fast pitch up, then Cyclic Ring value is too low - configured mechanical limit is not high enough. Increasing the value will solve this problem. But from your description I guess this is not the case. Increasing Pitch Up Compensation is mostly not needed. Problem is often somewhere else. Do you use Flybarless blades? |

Of course, you can install older version without any problem. I believe that the problem is related only with the settings, because there is no difference in the firmware that could be responsible for this. There is a big chance that after the update settings were not modified to match version 2. There are few things that when configured improperly will cause such issues. After update from 1.3.X basic settings should be performed again, because e.g. subtrims may be wrong. When you enable Subtrim (tuning) your swashplate should be perfectly level, all servos in the center and on the rotor head there should be 0° angle. |

Ok I understand what you are saying but I did check everything again and only had to sub trim on one servo by a couple of clicks to get the swash level I've tried to go back to version 1.3.2 but it keeps asking for 1.3.2 software can you send me a link for that Then I'll fly that version before re doing v2.0 again just to se it's not mechanical |

There are at least 4 different parameters that must be reconfigured for the new version again as stated during the Update and in the News in the announcement. It can fly, but without precise adjustment and verification with the Cyclic Leveler it can suffer from various issues. |
