Don't get me wrong, I've been tuning my scooters (American V-Twin motorcycles) for 30+ years. Times have certainly changed. It used to be changing a jet or tweaking a screw by half a turn. Not anymore, nowadays, you'd better have a laptop or an app to tune anything. I can't tune my newer scooters. I've tried but it gets way too technical for me. Used to be, check the spark plug, too dark, too rich, lean it out. Too light, too lean, richen it up a bit. I've got some screaming scoot's, up too 2077cc's with Nitrous Oxide!
Never have I had too worry about my "rates" or "pids", or worse yet "filters"! I may be way out of my league with this stuff. HTP (and others here) has some sort of electronics background and they get it. I don't! I just want to fly the daing (that's for you, Donnie B) thing! I get that manufacturers are trying to put a good tune into these things for "everyone" but what about "me"? I want the same tune that Mr. Steele, RaymonFPV, The RC Addict or Nurk has. I want to learn to fly to their level. Why don't these guys tell the manufacturers that they'll put up the tune before the release? I'd pay a couple of bucks just to get the right tune before I try to put the thing in the air! Betaflight should get a buck or two just to give us a good tune from the start.
I mentioned a couple of guys in the last paragraph, if you haven't watched the RC Addict fly, take a look. That kid (I won't post his name), gave me some serious one-on-one's many years ago and I'll be forever grateful. Same for Raymon, what a gem! And the dude can fly! He built me my first two frames. Just give us a tune guy's, I'm not and will never be a tuner!
