    Just wondering how tight are your gimbal sticks? Mine are as loose as possible, I prefer a light action. How tight to you run your gimbal sticks and have you ever experimented with different settings?

      With my new radio I haven't touched them. They feel smooth and light. Previous radios, I had changed the feel of the collective, to make it a little bit more notchy.

      Loose & lowered the sticks because I'm a nipple pincher;)

      The tension on mine is as it came out of the box. I did lower the sticks though.

      As it came from the box, not changes at all (Jr 11X Zero) - I figured their R&D would know more than me

      On a side note to this, a wise man told me (at the last Winter Solstice Fly-in) to adjust the stick tension on your sim to reflect the stick tension on your TR . That's one of the reasons I'm moving from RF to AccuRC (Use my own TX)

      I use my own transmitter on Real Flight. :) I do want to try AccuRC though.

      I know @Geena, I just haven't sorted that out yet, and with AccuRC around the corner, I don't think Ill bother. But I really should have, just slack

      Yes I lowered my sticks on the weekend and wow did it make a difference. Much quicker actions thats for sure! Not as accurate however, easy to overshoot tricks but i gather that will change with more experience.

      I find I like the sticks with a bit of tension... and I lower the sticks... else I feel like I'm doing huge throws to make the moves...
