My Posts This: Topic Forum | The Skookum is a very nice, very easy unit to program. We literally spent 15 minutes setting it up! You set your radio to single servo mechanical mixing (Like a Stinger 50 or Raptor). You don't set any of your servo travel, sub trims, mixing or anything. All of this is done with a computer hooked up to the SK-360. You set proper servo direction, swash mixing, subtrims and everything else in the SK-360.
It's kind of strange to eyeball your swash and then go out and fly....no trimming required! Since this is a 2 axis gyro....think of it as a HH gyro on the pitch and roll axis. Put your heli in forward, backwards, inverted or whatever and it will hold the last input you put into it. It'll continue that until you tell it to do something different. It's hard to explain until you've flown one.
What I like is the fact that I can set it up to fly hard (That's my son flying in the video) and the I can pick it up (I'm a scale and sport pilot) and fly it with the exact same setup without it being twitchy.
In short, if you've ever thought about going flybarless but was afraid of the trouble setting it up....DON"T BE!!!!!!
