One of the tests I use for finding the right style is a highly banked inverted circuit. If I feel like I have “push” the nose of the model through the turn to get it to stay on the same path, I’ve got too much style. If it doesn’t feel locked in, the style is a bit too low. Kyle Dahl gave the best explanation of the feeling when he said it feels like electronic stick tension- I’ve noticed that too. Also if the style is too high I can’t make the model piroflip smoothly. Higher style does seem to make for very nice and precise elevator tictocs. Another great video Richard 👍
I normally set Agility to the max rate the helicopter will sustain, which is about 42 RPM or 250 degrees / s for the blades/power system I use, and take it from there.
I tried that app for a bit, but somehow I managed to change a value by mistake. I can't risk having that happening in a competition, so I got rid of it.
Ah! Well I’m not at competition level. Just getting to understand Mikado and my Heli. I will make sure to disable the pot after I dial in a parameter! Very cool how once the value is set to one’s preference, after disabling the pot, that value remains as the new value.
I didn’t realize it was changing that ratio. Do you notice in some models you prefer a different setting vs another brand of 700? On some I like 50 and others 80? Great job explaining this.
I ran 80 on previous models, but I was also flying differently back then. I've not done back-to-back testing, but I'm sure it would be model dependant.
@@rchelicopter I've been flying 80 for the past 2 years probably and haven't played with this as my flying has changed. sounds like fun. Thanks for the content
Richard, your channel came highly recommended, and rightly so. ive subbed there now. as a newbie to the heli scene, im tooled up with a vbar touch and omp m4. also have heli x with the vbar app so i can use a sim. any feedback on how i should progress? my aim eventually is to fly scale, i will never be interested in inverted flight, never mind 3d. just circuits, stall turns, fig 8 etc. Most if not all the online channels / podcasts etc are catering for the aspiring 3d pilot. id appreciate all the help i can get to just do the basics. older brain here, but im a firm believer in keeping the brain exercised, so hope you understand. im a Jeti radio pilot for the fixed wing but prefer the vbar ecosystem for my heli journey. TIA
Hey Gerry, that's great to hear. Scale isn't my thing, but I did a bit of research around what sort of manoeuvres they would fly, and it turns out in general there are 6 required moves for most of the flown competitions. It should be easy enough to find depending on the country you're in. VBar is awesome, super simple, and the guys from Mikado love scale, so it should do everything you need.

Thanks Shane, not heard the circuit test. I'll have to give that a go.
Nice explanation.
More vbar videos please 😎👍
Awesome video thank you. Would love more VBAR pro tip videos!!!
Another great video. It's great for newcomers to vbar. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks, really appreciate that!
Another very interesting video, as always! Cant wait for the next one.
Good video!
Brilliant, thanks Rich.
Thanks bro
😎Complimenti Bella spiegazione e molto interessante quello che stai facendo TOP👍
I find it hard to take someone seriously talking about style in them shorts 😂🤣Another great vid by the way.👍
🤣
have you done an explanation video of that P I & D gains actually do ? if not would be a good one
I've always wondered what it's actually changing, thank you!
Any chance of getting a similar video on the Ikon 'Agility' setting?
Unfortunately I don't fly Ikon, never tried it. Might do RotorFlight or Spirit at some point.
Another great video Richard. Would you do the same for agility with the same move, 4 point flip. Thanks Richard.
I normally set Agility to the max rate the helicopter will sustain, which is about 42 RPM or 250 degrees / s for the blades/power system I use, and take it from there.
Good to know. Have you tried assigning style to a pot for inflight tweaks, rather than land, adjust and repeat.

the video nobody has done and we have been looking for decades lol
The lower style setting! Or loose supposedly feels a lot more like flying the old fly bar style heli!
I believe so. I defo like the lower style for deck work.

Hi ....50 gain 😮 on the mainrotor ? Is it not to small ??
It's about the highest it will go with right-rudder piro tictocs.
OK thanks for the Answer ! My gain is 90 (soxos 7.1 light Version) i think is to high 😅
Thank you for the videos😀It's very interesting!
Jebus Christ making up new terms for clout and clickbait.
Lol. Whats next... " Mikado-Style?
Jesus learn to fly better how bout. Lol.
I’d like to see you try and do some of the manoeuvres Rich is capable of! I bet you can’t even hover without crapping yourself 😂😂😂💩💩💩
What, exactly, is made up about the title? He is literally talking about the "Style" setting in VBar! Jebus indeed.
@@TheRMRCchannel Lol

Lol.. now yall are paying for " style"
