StephFPV's video: Double M9-R and Looser Gimbals Makes Huge Difference FPV Racing

In the last video, I was playing around with throttle caps. At the same time, in the past month or so, I've been fiddling with looser gimbal sticks. I used to fly with tight sticks but for some reason, it never occurred to me that tight sticks would hinder me from flying faster and better. I always thought I could work around it and get used to different rates instead, or fiddling with BF's Feed Forward for faster stick feel. Now I know why my previous tests with different rates never felt locked in enough or just felt generally awkward -- my stick tension was getting in my way. I switched out the right gimbal (a normal M9 Hall Effect Gimbal) for M9-R, so I'm using double M9-Rs now. I'm still undecided if this change is helping me or fecking me over but the last two clips in this video (with 95% throttle caps) are flown on double M9-R. Also, since I'm sponsored by 3BHobby motors now, I tested 2207.5 and 2306.5 1900KV motors with R38 and R42 props from HQProps respectively. Take my testing with a grain of salt, simply because I've flown 2207.5 motors way longer than 2306.5, so I need to factor in muscle memory. Some people might think my findings are pretty obvious (like, duh, why won't I know this?), honestly I don't think I'd be aware of the flight handling feeling between the two motors half a year ago. I've grown as a pilot since then, and I'm just sharing what I have discovered. Things I liked/don't like about 2306.5 + R42 - Testing it with R38 first, it was simply underpowered. Good control on low end, but it moved like a snail on straights. - Which leads to the next point: why the hell did I pair R42 with 2207.5 in the past? - With R42 on 2306.5, I loved how locked in and smooth it felt compared to 2207.5+ R38, however, on technical stuff like corkscrews, the throttle curve on 2306.5 just messed me up. - The low-end torque is nice and I'm finding myself braking faster than 2207.5 +R38. - I'm no engineer, but I suspect I need higher rates/FF values for a more nimbler feel on this combo. Using the same rates/FF values as my 2207.5 +R38 setup ended up feeling unresponsive when moving through technical obstacles. The wider motor size comes into play I think, better handling when I'm not braking and throttling so often. - I suppose this combo will definitely better on mid-high speed flowy tracks. Not the typical track designs in Taiwan. 從桃園比賽之後，最近一個月多一直在測試不同的設定跟電裝。 上個影片中主題是油門限制，但實際上這一個月多一直都在測試更鬆的搖桿，因為過去用的搖桿偏緊，要透過BF裡面的Feed Forward數值彌補。 過去我油門那邊使用M9-R(紅色短行程的霍爾搖桿)，但知道我的右邊PITCH不同步(因為用一般的霍爾搖桿)，於是最近終於換掉，變成兩邊都是M9-R搖桿。影片中最後兩部影片是用雙M9-R搖桿飛，但我還不確定對我有幫助還是搞亂手感。 現在因為由3B馬達贊助，最近拿了2207.5 跟2306.5 1900KV馬達來測試，2207.5配HQ R38，2306.5 配R42。測試結果真的只能當參考，畢竟已經飛2207.5快一年，比起後者更熟悉馬達的油門曲線，自然會不太習慣。 我喜歡/不喜歡2306.5 + R42的地方 - 跟2207.5+R38比較，我非常喜歡2306.5順暢的手感，尤其在低油門的操控，煞車更快 -不過我可能需要更高的Rate或Feed Forward，因為套用2207.5使用的數值，飛比較技巧性的東西容易卡住。馬達比較寬大應該是主因 -這個馬達跟槳的組合應該更適合中高速很順暢的賽道設計。 Thanks to my sponsors!
