Wind was blowing about 5-10mph diagonally across the ridge so there were places where the plane gets shook up but the Hobbyeagle A3 Super 3 stabilizer just keeps it on course, whether I'm on the sticks in a turn or off the sticks flying straight. It's very fly by wire, but doesn't feel overly artificial.
It just goes where I point it.
My main goal is to simply constrain the bumps to the point that the Hero7's Hypersmooth can take care of the rest. I'm not looking for the surreal stabilization of Reel Steady, but just a natural looking flight without the bumps from wind and thermals that are a constant in Colorado.
If you feel that your stabilization is better than this, then please try it in 5-10mph or wind staying less than 5-10m from the ground near steep terrain and trees. It's a different world down there.
