Follow the instructions within the “Servo
Limit Point Setting” section and set the servo
limits for the tail rotor servo. Hold the tail
rotor linkage over the linkage ball to avoid
damaging the servo. Once the limits are set
you can place the linkage onto the linkage
ball. When using AVCS mode the optimum
setup is to have 0° of pitch with the tail rotor
servo centered and use all of the available
pitch range in the tail without binding.
Turn the receiver power off to exit program-
ming mode and then turn the receiver power
back on. Once the gyro has completed initial-
ization move the tail rotor stick to the right
on the transmitter and verify that right (clock-
wise rotation) tail rotor pitch is inputted to
the tail rotor blades. If left tail rotor pitch is
inputted to the tail rotor blades, then it will
be necessary to reverse the tail rotor channel
in the transmitter.
Pick the helicopter up by the main shaft
and rotate the mechanics counter-clockwise
(from the top). The gyro should compensate
by adding clockwise rotation pitch to the tail
rotor blades. If the gyro compensates by add-
ing counter-clockwise rotation pitch to the
tail rotor blades then it will be necessary to
reverse the “Gyro Direction” setting within
the gyro (refer to the “Gyro Basic Setting”
section earlier in this manual).
If you are going to fly AVCS Heading Hold mode
exclusively, then the gyro setup is now complete.
