Cyclic travel in forward flight?

Tech Support
1

Basically just wondering: How far forward should we need to hold the cyclic to maintain 80kts forward level flight?

My observation is 20%, which strikes me as low. Is that accurate?

Now I realize I can lower the sensitivity setting here, but I’m using the recommended “Realistic” setting so my expectation is that this would be the most accurate and I should only change it if I am having issues. I’m not. I’m just curious if 20% cyclic travel is really all you need to hold for 80+kts forward level flight.

We believe this is a pretty reasonable value for 80 kts. Compared to the small inputs you’re making through most of flight 20% is a pretty large change in center.
