Performance
- Horizontal frequencies are weight dependent
- Horizontal frequency of 1.5 Hz (or lower) is achieved at the upper limit of the payload range
- At the lower limits of the payload range the horizontal frequency is approximately 2.5 Hz
- Vertical frequency is tuneable to 0.5 Hz throughout the payload range
