ImpoRTANT: If the tail pirouettes and stops unevenly in both directions, set

the tail gyro to Normal-Rate mode. Test whether the tail will drift in a particular

direction during hover. If it does, adjust the tail link rod length so the tail rotor

blades have the required compensation for pitch. If you adjust the tail link rod

length, you must reset the tail rotor limits (Setup menu point (E)). If you chose

“Transmitter” in the Control Behavior (Parameter menu point (B)), make sure you

are not entering the free spinning range, which can cause inconsistent rotation.
The option “User Defined” allows you to define your own settings using the

optional PC Software.
Press the setup button once to move to Parameter menu point (E).

E. Stick Deadband

Stick deadband is the range around the very center of the stick where the

AR7200BX will not react. Depending on the calibration of the transmitter, the sticks

may not be in the exact same center position each time they return to center. This

can cause unwanted rotation on the axis of stick movement.

Setting

Stick Deadband

Set Too Low

It is difficult to find a stick position where no input is

sent to the AR7200BX. A setting too low can lead to

a helicopter tipping on takeoff or a helicopter that is

difficult to control.

Stick Deadband

Set Too High

You will feel a large range of stick movement where you

have no control. A setting too high can lead to difficult

precision hovering.
