All seems to be working fine after changing from spirit to the pro model. Loaded the settings, all seems OK.

Only thing I notice that is different is the cyclic compensation.
This is the test you do before flight, to check the FBL is compensating in the correct direction, by tilting the heli and checking the swash goes the opposite direction.

I feel like it was considerably quicker and had more travel on the non-Pro.
It *is* compensating, but not very much, and it's pretty slow about it.

Do I need to care?
Not flown yet.

Hello,

are you sure that the unit is mounted in the very same direction as the old one?
If not, then changing Position is needed.

Alternatively the problem could be that the small Spirit has a different servo layout. So connecting it in the same order will make the servo compensation wrong as the CH1/CH3 are swapped.

Aha! Good catch. Thank you - I hadn't updated the orientation. Seems better now!
