Introduction Your new Heli-Max Novus 125 FP uses Triple Axis Gyro Stabilization (TAGS) to improve the performance of the model. The TAGS consists of a gyro sensor on the roll, pitch and yaw axis along with sophisticated algorithms to increase the stability and performance capability of the model. The TAGS is factory setup and ready for flight. Operating the Novus 125 FP with the TAGS does require a few extra precautions that must be followed to ensure a safe and successful flight.
Trim Adjustments The TAGS system will handle flight trimming automatically for you. A few clicks of trim may be used during flight if the model slowly drifts. If more than five trim steps are needed on the cyclic controls then it is recommended to land the model, center the trims and perform the initialization process again. Do not move the control sticks before or during takeoff as the model may tip over easily. If necessary, make very small corrections on the cyclic controls.
Rudder Gain The Rudder Gain is used to adjust the amount of correction that the TAGS applies to the tail rotor during unintended movements. Finding the ideal gain setting will take some experimentation. If the tail is slowly drifting, then raise the gain and test fly the model. If the tail is quickly oscillating (also known as wagging), then lower the gain and test fly the model. Turning the adjustment clockwise increases the gain and turning the adjustment counter-clockwise decreases the gain.
