Hi All,

Is it nesceserry to change the curves to do "Tic-Tocs"?
Or do you need very fast servo's to do it?

And is it the same thing as a "metronome"?

I tried it with my R 60 but the setup isnt right i think...

Thanks,

It's impossible to say whether you need to change your curves, without knowing what curves you're using now. But, as David said, the same curve setup works for pretty much every 3D maneuver.

I do 'em with 9202s on cyclic, and 9252 or JR 4000 on collective.

Yes, metronome is the same thing. If you've seen a real metronome, you know the noise they make (tick tock tick tock) and the motion the arm makes...

The key thing for me is getting the collective timing right, so the rotor is generating upward thrust the whole time, exception when the heli is knife-edge (0 collective then). I'm still working on it, to be honest.
