What was the settling time? No overshoot and no transient oscillation suggests an asymptotic convergence on the target, which is not desirable if your gains generate large settling times. Permitting 5% overshoot and ensuring moderate damping (0.3-0.7) would usually give better performance (if I find time later today I might play around with Simulink and see what I can come up with).
I made a mistake in my last post, I meant to say that the time constant of the linear response is 0.5 seconds, and the time constant of the angular response is 0.25 seconds.
