Black Bird FPV "Next Level" Sbang Tune Preset for 4.5 and 2025.12 (#540)
* Add blackbird-nextlevel tune for 4.5 and 2025.12 * Add pull request number #540 * Add dyn notch filter and wider q for low quality build * delete duplicate filter setting * uncheck rc link and deadband options * adjust p value, include rc link default, change hd to freestyle --------- Co-authored-by: traveller2k20 <61454345+traveller2k20@users.noreply.github.com>

#$ DESCRIPTION: Description:
19+
#$ DESCRIPTION: -----------
20+
#$ DESCRIPTION: This preset is based on Damien Gans’ (Black Bird FPV) "Next Level" tuning guide. It is designed for high-quality, high-KV 5-inch quads and intentionally “overtunes” the rig to enhance juicy/sbang-style flying (high P, high I, low D, low filters). <br>
21+
#$ DESCRIPTION: <br>
22+
#$ DESCRIPTION: All selectable options are derived directly from the video. At the bottom, you will find a checkbox to revert all parameters that are changed by this preset to default values. <br>

#$ DESCRIPTION: **DO NOT** select this preset unless your ESCs support Bi-Directional DSHOT communication! <br>
25+
#$ DESCRIPTION: <br>
26+
#$ DESCRIPTION: **WARNING:** This is an aggressive tune that may cause overheating motors, oscillations, or flyaways if applied to unsuitable hardware. Apply cautiously and test thoroughly. <br>

34+
#$ DESCRIPTION: Other Recommendations
35+
#$ DESCRIPTION: -----------
36+
#$ DESCRIPTION: For stacks with more sensitive ICM gyros, consider using **FalcoX** or **Rush** gummies instead of metal nuts for softer mounting.
37+
#$ DESCRIPTION:
38+
#$ DESCRIPTION: Option Explanation
39+
#$ DESCRIPTION: -----------
40+
#$ DESCRIPTION: - **Flying Altitude (ASL):** Black Bird FPV flies at ~1000 m above sea level and runs slightly higher PIDs there. For sea-level flying, choose the lower-altitude option (reduces P and D by 3).
41+
#$ DESCRIPTION: - **Action Camera:** Flying with an action cam adds weight and allows higher PIDs. If you fly without an action cam, select the “no action cam” option (reduces P and D by 5).
42+
#$ DESCRIPTION: - **Gyro:** *ICM gyros* are more sensitive and require stronger filtering. *MPU6000* has more internal filtering and can run lighter external filters. “Low Quality Quad” applies a dynamic PT1 filter instead of a static one. Check your gyro type in the Setup Tab or by running `status` in CLI.
43+
#$ DESCRIPTION: - **Radio Link:** Betaflight developers generally recommend their radio-link presets, but Black Bird FPV uses certain settings for stick feel.
44+
#$ DESCRIPTION: - **Deadband:** High center-stick rates can require increased deadband for clean and sharp movement stops.
45+
#$ DESCRIPTION: - **Propeller Size:** 5.1" props typically require a lower motor-idle percentage than 4.9" props.
