when the gain was low it felt like a hoverfly with a low gain, slow to fall off hover, where a dii falls rapidly, but having alt hold work so good will make it never comparable.... i only did that flight so far, finishing out the gimbal and will take it all to the field for a tune day and report back.... I'll certainly run all the features, it's going to a customer, don't want him to find out it's dangerous to use....
right there was atti mode, felt a lot like a dii to me but no wind, same flight modes, makes since it'd feel like that. I have a naza v2 rig and this one that can take and compare side by side
one things for sure, the motors came perfect and the props were straight out of the package, tiger 15x5, never calibrated an esc, spent a few minutes calibrating the flight controller and had that.......

That brings up another question. How is the AH on the SuperX? Is it like DJI where it's always on? I will say DJI's AH is pretty nice. You dont even think about it. On my hoverfly I have to rely on really well tuned throttle curve and a good knowledge of what the heli does at a certain weight. It is very difficult at times to tell the rate of decent when it gets high up and maintain a smooth level flyover. You cant rely on 40% throttle coming down since it isnt based on actual stick position.

Unbelivable. You could use a ruler and start counting inches.
Yes. On in all flight modes except manual.
With the SX, you don't fly "throttle", per se, you fly altitude rate. The left stick, (assuming Mode 2), is only slightly connected to the motor speed. The altitude correction loop is always on and it's all about rate-of-climb or rate-of-decent. Even a slight bump up will accelerate the motor speed markedly until it reaches a given rate of climb. Obviously, there's a "sling" in the mid-stick region for hold. If you're not used to high-end FCs that do this, it's quite disconcerting on take off as your expecting a more or less linear wind-up with a slow rise. This is not what happens. There's little increase in motor speed until the bottom edge of the capture window of the altitude loop is approached. Then, whammo, motor speeds rise radically and up she goes to a fixed altitude. It takes some getting used to. Very predictable and useable, just not what I'm used to doing. Turns out it's touchy on CG during this operation, too. A slightly high CG, like no gimbal, a small batt pack, or high-side batt packs, can upset the apple cart. I dumped my 1000 on the first 3 takeoffs until I sussed this out. Lower the CG below the boom plane, and all is well. (Slightly OT here, nothing to do with cootch odor, LOL.)

Good to know about the throttle. Yes I'm used to the Hoverfly pro. May be a bit before I can justify a new controller since this is setup so well and just works. Next Heli though I'll give it a whirl.

Well I received my Super X today, woohoo. First impressions are impressive, first off... No offensive smell that I can detect, whew 
This is one suite looking kit, so far I've only done the unboxing so I can't attest to its abilities just yet but I have to say it's going to be nice not dealing with bare circuit boards. This is a nice set of self contained well machined aluminum cases and they are small. Should make placement a lot easier on a tight frame.
Everything looks really well made and as someone else had mentioned somewhere, the packaging is reminiscent of Apple.
Hopefully get this thing setup on a quad by this weekend.
WOOHOO!
Thanks also to Drew for putting the latest firmware on my SuperX.
