F Tail – torque precompensation (RevoMIX)
The advantage of always knowing the pitch and cyclic load on the flybarless system, allows the
MICRO BEAST to pre-compensate for the torque variations on the tail before any noticeable deviation.
This method of torque pre compensation (RevoMIX) relieves the tail control loop and improves the tail
performance especially when using MICROBEAST on helicopters with insucient tail authority and/or
extreme motor torque (well powered electric helicopters).

To see the compensation direction, you can move the collective pitch, roll and elevator control stick at
any time. With active feedforward the tail rotor has to produce a deection which is must counteract the
rotor torque. Since at 0 ° pitch the least torque is applied by the main rotor, also tail rotor makes the least
deection as no additional deection is added. If you pitch in positive or negative direction or move aile-
ron or elevator control, a deection will be added to the tail rotor which must always act against the
torque of the main rotor. For helicopters with clockwise rotating main rotor, the precompensation has to
steer the tail always to the left (nose of the heli to the right).
The deection will be held always in the same direction, whether positive or negative pitch, as the torque
only increases. At 0 ° pitch and no cyclic control input the torque is at its lowest. Once a control input is
given the tail slider / the tail rotor will move slightly (!) in a given direction. Cylce through the various op-
tions and nd the direction (the color of Status-LED) that matches your model. You then have four options
to set the precompensation (o, low, high or by computer).
Note: The height of the deection depends on the setting of collective pitch angles in Setup menu K.
Therefore the deection may vary depending on the direction of pitch.
The choice is made by moving the tail
stick into one direction until the
Status-LED lights in the desired color.
The option “user dened allows you
to dene your own setting with the
PC software.
