okay I find myself starting to move away from pinching and towards thumbing at the controls. I want to change up the setup a bit so that full throw on the gimbals is now occurring at lets say 75% throw. I much prefer to move the sticks less than more, I'm sure there will be a few ways of doing it just curious what direction to go in with it.

Then again I may change it all up again as soon as I learn a few more things at the controls.

For thumbing I got new pointier sticks (DX8) and drilled them so they could go extra low... you want really short sticks for thumbing. And I really like the rubber skid nuts on them as well.

I think he meant the opposite...

Maybe you wanna use a cyclic ring and then set the new stick endpoints in the skookum setup.

There's adjustment screws in the back or maybe only accessible under the back casing that let u adjust the gymbals stick throw limit. My dx8 has em and u can limit the stick limits by adjusting a couple of screws. I'm not familiar withe the dx9 and maybe it's different but I don't see why it would be. Here's the manual

Actually I believe there are throttle travel wedges that can be removed or modified to reduce or increase gymbal travel. Maybe look into that. And if u want to limit your stick travels to control heli u can modify that in the software or transmitter. U can make it achieve full cyclic command with less stick movement by configuring it in the software.

Awesome ! Thanks for all the tips, yes its a dx9. I like those short gimbal sticks you put on

I'm kind of in between worlds, I did 4 flights today switching between pinch and thumbs. I'm not used to it yet fully but I think long term I'll be better with the thumbs, I'm starting to get better with it on the sim as opposed to pinching.

Thumbs are better. I'm stuck with my pinching...
