Hi group
I've got about 10 or 12 hours flying my P3A on GPS mode and now want to master flying in ATTI mode.
Got used to the drift in wind which is OK. It does not seem to drift much in altitude, but I guess anything could happen....
I have not attempted a landing in ATTI mode. When at 2 to 3 metres above ground attempting to hover, pitch and yaw are constantly changing. I appreciate this is what happens in ATTI mode
I think some of my difficulty appears to be associated with stick inputs. Making a small input on the stick seems to result in a larger than expected change in the aircraft motion and trying to correct for this larger movement results in even larger movement and so on
I think, trying to attempt a landing will result in the aircraft tipping.
I have not changed the stick settings from the default values.
Is there any advantage in changing the gain/expo settings when flying in ATTI mode?
Anything else to try, or is just practice?
I am not interested (yet) in outright speed and fast, tight manoeuvres, so I'm prepared to sacrifice some "performance" for ease of landing and then progress from there.
Thanks in advance
Stuart
