8.4 Tail gyro gain (adjusted by the transmitter)
As with a conventional tail gyro, the tail gain can be adjusted by one of the transmitter‘s auxiliary channels. In
one direction you can select the Normal-Rate mode and in the other direction HeadingLock mode.
The color of the Status-LED indicates the selected mode when the MICROBEAST is ready for operation.
Purple indicates Normal-Rate mode and blue or exceptionally ashing blue indicates HeadingLock mode.
Additionally while adjusting the gain or shortly after the rst start up, the current amount of gain is displayed
by one of the menu LEDs for about 10 seconds. So you always know the actual amount of gain in your helicopter
as percentages will depend of the used transmitter. When the gain channel is centered, this will correspond to
0% gain indicated by LED A. In both modes, the maximum adjustable tail gain is 100% and will correspond to
LED N, but the actual percentage in the transmitter will depend on its brand and/or type.
For the rst ight we suggest to start with a gain not higher then F or G in HeadingLock mode. To nd the
optimal gain, we recommend starting with a low gain, where the tail will feel very weak and will stop with
overshoots. Then increase the gain step by step and you will feel the tail having more and more precise stops,
and hold better and better on jerky pitch inputs. If the gain gets too high, the stops will bounce back quickly
and wagging will appear in fast forward or backward ight.
Operation without using a sensitivity (gain) channel is not possible!
