Tail Function
By turning the main rotor clockwise (seen from the top), a torque acts on the fuselage of the helicopter to turn it coun-
terclockwise. Therefore, the tail rotor is built to counter this rotation of the fuselage even without control command
fromthetransmitter.Ifthecontrolstickforthetailfunction(seegure1,item14)isinthecentreposition,thetailrotor
angle of attack is automatically high enough for the helicopter to hover stably in the air without rotating around the
vertical axis (main rotor shaft).
If the control stick is moved to the left, the tail rotor angle of attack is changed and the helicopter fuselage tip turns
to the left.
If the control stick is moved to the right, the tail rotor angle of attack is changed in the other direction and the helicopter
fuselagetipturnstotheright(seegure24).

If the stick is slightly pushed to the left, the swash plate will tip to the left and the model will drift to the left side. If you
steer to the right, the model drifts sideways to the right.
