They are much better that what it was Lee, much smoother on banked turns. I'm still putting vid on YT, so bloody slow, it's peeing me off... I was flying in horizon mode, forgot to flick the switch to try angle... I was enjoying the flights too much...lol. And that buzzer you recommended a while ago is great for remembering to stop... Use it for low voltage at moment... Thanks for that. I'm not sure what voltage it beeps at but I stop anyway when it goes off...

after looking at these vids tonight i think i need to drop the RC rate down what Graham mentioned, but not much. just enough to dampen the jerkiness when i change direction... its a bit sudden, probably my stick movements, but it would be good to try and smooth that out a bit... then im sorted i think... thanks guys... happy chappy here..

I see in your settings, you have no Roll rate settings.
Try 30 to 40 for that.

Careful Tony, I see water, and you know what that means. :D

Looking much better, maybe it's time for the FPV gear again soon. :)
I assume you are still flying a self level mode (Angle or Horizon)?
