How are you launching it?? I think a Flyn style catapult would be a winner.

Hi mate,

I thought this might be of some help - here's the Eagle Tree settings I used as a baseline for my ZII.

They were supplied by an American chap on the ZII RCGroups forum, I tweaked them a little bit but they were pretty much bang-on for my Zed.

I turned the Stab overall gain down to 2-3 (cant remember which)
Turned on heading hold
As well as reducing the centre stick box size down to 2.

I also turned the RTH cruise alt down to 350
Home radius alt to 200
Home Radius to 600

+1 looking forward to seeing a video. This is like the ultimate upgrade for all RC! Ive seen a quadcopter that someone strapped a little jet engine to but in the video they never turned it on :(

Keep us posted as this is a great thread :D
