Bail out - switch or centre stick

**sooren** · 21-02-2012 08:43 PM

It seems that most people programe the 720 bail out feature to a switch and I would have thought it would be easier to use the center stick option - ie just let go off the cyclic stick for a second if you get in trouble. It saves having to fumble for a switch - but matbe I am missing something.
Have one on order now and wondered which way is best.

using a switch is much better practice I think, as it doesn't teach you bad habits. (if you can get the SL to work

)

Also if you want to make corrections while in SL mode (ie when youre far away by a tree and have lost orientation) then you want the SL to be constantly active even when the stick is off-centre.

Also, when set to CS or CS+inverted even @ 100% it takes too long to level, well at least for those "oh crap" moments. Always on 100% is best for recovery. [ assigned to a switch ]

Also worth a mention, besides keeping your vibes low, the Sl @100% will only work as fast as the control rates. So if using really slow rates, the SL will be slow.
