If the direct cyclic feed forward is too low, the helicopter will feel softer, slower and less direct. The optimal point depends of many factors like blades, servos, head speed, size and mass of the helicopter. Ideally you can increase the feed forward just as high as possible without any side effects happening. So you get a quite natural stick feeling and on the other hand the control loop is supported as good as possible. At delivery the dial is in the middle which should be a good starting point for most helicopters. Before adjusting the cyclic feed forward you should try to find the optimal maximum cyclic gain first (dial 1). Then adjust the cyclic feed forward and after that, you may have to adjust the cyclic gain once again, as both parameters interact to each other. | If the direct cyclic feed forward is too low, the helicopter will feel softer, slower and less direct.
