Hello,
Other than setting the cyclic ring setting to 255 which would give massive full (degrees) deflection, is there anyway to get the cyclic to match the stick movement on the transmitter? In other words only getting full cyclic deflection (say 10 degrees for example) when the transmitter stick gets to full stick? The diagnostic screen shows a deflection of -100 up to 100 and this is for the non-pro Spirit.
Or is this just not a good idea all round?
Thanks,

[SOLVED] Cyclic stick distance
Hello,
I am not sure if I understand the question correctly.
But if you want to limit deflection of the swashplate (Cyclic pitch) to 10°, then the Cyclic Ring settings is perfectly for this purpose.
It should usually never end at 255 as it is giving very high angles and binding of the servo/arms.
You can use your pitch gauge and measure the angles when collective is in the center. If nothing will bind in any position of the cyclic/collective pitch then the settings are good. Usually the angles are between 10-12°.

Thanks for the reply,
A the moment I have set 10degrees for cyclic and when testing on the bench I get to that full 10 degrees at only half stick position on the transmitter, the remaining half does nothing.
Can I adjust anything so at half stick I have 5degrees and full stick I have 10degrees etc?
Thanks

You are welcome!
No - it can't be configured in this way, but this behavior is absolutely correct.
This is because what you can see on the ground does not correspond with how it will behave in the flight. This is common between FBL systems.
So in the flight it will behave as you wish, but not on the ground.
