Thanks for reply dave / coppersrule.
Also, depends on the type of flying you want to do. Backyard, mild aerobatics, 3D stuff. Always, to many decisions.
Back yard, go with the swash plate and the align links. Aerobatics and 3D, swashplate, links, gyro and dd, ops, also, upgrade to the HS55 Servos. Need to modify the HS55 servos if you have the stock Cp/CpPro transmitter. I have that info if you need it.
I would like to do all of the above eventually but am nowhere near that phase... I am still working on hovring in all orentations....
I wonder though you said
Input to control sticks should be very gentle and small. 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch is more than sufficent. Of course, if you're heading into a wall, then jam it.
I would doubt that I am giving even an 1/8 most of the time in still hover... I almost cannot give a small enough input to keep the bird in a very exact spot without some occational drifting in whichever way...
I also am stuck to a very tight space so far and have not even had the bird outdoors so maybe I am just wishing for something not possible from such a small scale machine...
