E-BOARD ADJUSTMENTS E-BOARD ADJUSTMENTS
Gyro Gain
The gyro gain is used to adjust the amount of correction that the gyro applies
to the tail rotor during unintended movements. Finding the ideal gain setting
will take some experimentation. If the gyro is allowing the tail to drift then raise
the gain % and test fl y the model. If the tail is quickly oscillating (wagging),
then lower the gain % and test fl y the model. Turning the adjustment clockwise
increases the gain and turning the adjustment counter clockwise decreases
the gain.
Cyclic Extent
This adjustment is factory set to the ideal setting and the setting should not
be changed unless absolutely necessary. The cyclic extent is used to control
how far the swashplate tilts when left/right or forward/aft cyclic is moved. This
controls the maximum cyclic rate of the model. Keep in mind that the Dual
Rate also reduces the maximum cyclic rate. Increasing the cyclic extent also
increases the sensitivity of the cyclic controls. If you feel that the high rate
cyclic rate is not high enough, then turn the adjustment clockwise to increase
the maximum cyclic extent. If you feel the cyclic extent is too high, then turn the
adjustment counter-clockwise to decrease the maximum cyclic extent.
