Did a test flight after upgrading to v4. All was perfect except that I noticed that if I do a fast rudder movement and center the stick. The tail continues to move and I need to apply opposite rudder to stop the rotation. Do I need to decrease the rudder stop parameter from the default 6?
The model is SAB Kraken 580. Thanks

I guess there is something unusual in the settings
Could you share settings file? I will check the parameters.
Maybe there is Rudder - Stop Smoothing value. Default is 0.

Attached is the configuration, I did readjust the rudder end limits after the upgrade from ver3.7.2 to ver4.0.0

Thanks for checking.

The issue isn’t reproducible anymore which is great. The only change is I reduced the stop a and b from the default value 6 to 5. Not sure if a higher value contributed to this unexpected behavior I experienced. Rudder stop smoothing is unchanged at 0. I’ll share the log’s if it reoccurs again.
