TAIL LOCK Mode and Strength
As you can see from the diagram below, the G7000T is designed so that if assigned a Travel Adjust value of 11–150, the
G7000T will be in Tail Lock Mode (Green LED). The value within this range can be altered, and will increase/decrease the strength
of the Tail Lock function. A value of 25 would give a very low Tail Lock strength, allowing the model to “weathervane.” A value of
150 would be the maximum Tail Lock strength, and would prevent any “weathervaning” of the model in flight. When accessing the
AUX channel from a 2-position switch, the pilot can choose to have 2 different percentages of Tail Lock gain that can be accessed
during flight. If using a rotary switch, the pilot can have a proportional Tail Lock gain adjustment during flight.
The recommended starting value for the Tail Lock gain is between 80–100%. Adjustment can be made during flight to achieve
the desired feel.
Please also note that an increase in Tail Lock gain can also at times cause a “hunting” condition, requiring the need for the
actual gain value to be adjusted.
Rate Mode
As you can see from the diagram below, when given a Travel Adjust value of between 0–10%, the G7000T will be placed in the
“Rate” mode (Red LED) position, and will function as a pure Rate gyro. When using the G7000T in Rate mode, Tail Rotor Mixing (or
Revolution Mixing) is suggested to achieve the best performance. Please refer to your radio instruction manual for more informa-
tion on Revolution Mixing.
