C. Tail Servo Center position/pulse Length

Almost all tail servos work with 1520µs (micro seconds). There are a few tail

servos available that use a different center position pulse length.

ImpoRTANT: If a pulse length is selected (C) that does not allow a certain tail

servo frequency (D), the frequency is automatically reduced. The center position

pulse setting always has priority. A servo can operate without issue at a lower

frequency but cannot operate with an incorrect center position pulse length.
Push the setup button to save the selection and move to menu point (D).

D. Tail Servo Frequency

CAUTIoN: If you do not know the maximum frequency for your selected tail

servo, do not exceed 50Hz. Exceeding the maximum frequency for the tail

servo can lead to servo failure.
For best performance, always use a high-quality tail servo capable of at least

270Hz. Depending on the selection chosen in menu point (C), you may not be able

to select a frequency above 333Hz.

Attach a servo horn to the tail servo, making sure the tail linkage rod forms a 90°

angle with the servo horn. Adjust the tail linkage rod according to your helicopter

instruction manual. For most helicopters, the tail pitch slider should be centered

on the tail shaft. The tail rotor blades will have a small amount of positive pitch to

counter the torque from the main rotor.
ImpoRTANT: Menu point (D) does not have a time limit.

Push the setup button to save the selection and move to menu point (E).
