I put together this spreadsheet for calculating some initial values based on the new tuning guide. You will need to judge for yourself if the calculated values suit your craft.
You should probably read and understand the new tuning guide to know what these new values mean.

WARNING: formulas are derived purely on eye-balling the graphs in @Leonardthall 's guide and recreating them to gain some formulas. The graphs I recreated are on separate tabs and you don’t need to look at them unless you feel like updating them and putting changed formulas back into the main tab.
- Enter your prop size in inches, and the number of LiPo cells.
- Copy/Paste the calculated values into notepad++
- Search, Replace
- Select Search mode “Extended”
- Find what: /t {tabs}
- Replace with: , {commas}
- Save As some_filename.param
Apply the new .param file using Mission Planner or similar - I find this quicker and easier than manually finding all the parameters and trying to set them without making mistakes.
