Like a lot of other Plus members, I was having trouble getting my Plus to perform CCC. Every now and then I would see a glimmer of hope only to find I was not able to repeat the process with any consistency. About a week ago I went to the field and was determined to try one more time and this time I looked at everything. What I found was; the H Plus performs CCC very similarly to the standard H, but some of the advancements or refinements of the Plus that changed the way I fly were part of the problem.
In particular - the Rate Slider. On the standard H, some will recall that we could create rate curves, that allowed for smoother off-hover flight, my routine then became I never used the rate slider on my H as I was comfortable leaving it at high rate because the sticks had the effect of a slow rate for the first 20% of movement. I Hope this is not confusing but it is important.
The Typhoon H Plus on the other hand is a totally different animal in the way it flies and the way I fly it, and here is where I believe there has been confusion and some flyers had success while others did not - where is your rate slider? My routine flying the Plus is one that has me using the rate slider in conjunction with the right stick on a regular basis - never left in one place and never at either extreme. On the Plus, in order for the throttle stick movements to register and thereby begin the mission, the rate slidier must be at full.
In addition, I found that I could never get the Plus to fly back to the starting point as before with the standard H - I think it won't recognize that you want to go to the start if you are close to the last waypoint as it is waiting for the command to run backwards - not forwards. So if you are at the end of the route, throttle stick down or fly to the first waypoint and hit start.
So anyway, when I got to where I could run the route consistently I thought I would make a video and here it is.
