Here's the results of my latest stick setup trials as we discussed in Ven.
Y-Axis = 21lb FSSB Resistor Setting
X-Axis = 10lb FSSB Resistor Setting
Here are my CCP settings, that by my calcs give me 9.6lb X-axis, and 15.6lb Y-axis for a 0.62 ratio. I then set my LOMAC curves to straight (50% Shift, 0 Deadzone, 0 Curve) for the X-axis and Rudder Axis. I let LOMAC handle the Y-axis curve and deadzone as its uniform for the whole team.
X-Axis - Upper and Lower Deadzone set to 8% decreases total required input strength by 4% (see calc below). Notice also the 6 deadzone and -6 curve. In LOMAC there is no deadzone or curve for this axis
Y-Axis - No Deadzone or Curve, just a 29% reduction in required pull. In LOMAC the curve and deadzone are the usual values for this axis.
And the Y-Axis LOMAC Settings:
Rudders - Just to round out the post in case anyone is interested in what I use. No curve or deadzone for this axis in LOMAC.
Here's how the percentage math works to determine pull strength.
Actual% = CCP% / 2
Pull Strength (lb) = (1 - Actual%) * FSSB Resistor Setting (lb).
Ex.
X-Axis = 8%
8% / 2 = 4%
(1-0.04) * 10 = 9.6lb
Y-Axis = 58%
58% / 2 = 29%
(1-0.29) * 22 = 15.6lb
9.6 / 15.6 = 0.62
PS - I like to favor left roll over right roll when I do the manual cougar calibration. So I take the stick all the way to the left and pull the trigger then try to match how that left input felt on the right input, though its almost always 80-90% of full deflection. This gives a nice symetrical roll response and a smooth uninterupted y-axis pull. [/img]
