Default RE: Ultimate setup

ORIGINAL: Danny Baker
Also set up the transmitter so that it takes full stick deflection of the gimbles to fly the sequence. Most new pilots only move the gimbles 1/4" L, R, U, or Down to fly the plane. This in incorrect. You should move the rudder gimble "hard over" while flying, move the airleron gimble "hard over" to do the rolls, move the elevator gimble "into your belly button" to pull out of your hammers and humpties. With these gimble movements coupled with these throws, your Ultimate will be a SMOOTH flyer and not a plane that is "all over the sky" trying to keep er' straight.
OMG, Danny thanks for this tip! I had no idea... I imagine doing this will help tremendously. Right now I've got it set up so a roll only takes 1/4 throw, which allows for lots of error when adding in elevator.

I can't wait to try it!
