Jetcat hotcat

Dear,
I've started flying my Jetcat Hotcat now. Some 7 flights right now.
It's a turbine powered helicopter, 3blade PSG rotorhead, 175 cm rotordiameter, 3 blade tail rotor.
Total weight approximately 9 kg (or less), overall length 2m
Rotorspeed approximately 1180 rpm
Rotor is controlled by 4 servo's (KST BLS 815 for the rotor, BLS 805 for the tail)with a 45 degrees ofset. Rotation is counter clockwise.
So, now I'm taming the beast. It has a large surplus of power, but I want to get it more smooth.
I use 20% expo, 80% D/R.
I've recently changed the flight characteristics to 5 (more flybar like), this seems to get it more smooth already. I use a Spirit Pro unit with the latest firmware .
Do you have suggestions on how to make this bird flying more smoothly? It is now quite touchy, but I would like it to fly like it did when I had flybars on it, very smooth, scale like.
ALso for the tail, which is now very sharp and fast.
WHat do I need to change in this setup?
At this moment, I only have a very faint tail wag, but that might also be a problem of a long tail and strong crosswinds lately. I now have a sensitivity fot the tail of approximately 55.
I'm very interested in your advice!
