The helicopter rotates faster in one direction than the other.

Check the installation of the servo to make sure it’s properly installed
as well as double check the EPA, making sure they have the same
left and right value.

Defi nitions and Conditions to be Aware of

Vibration

If your helicopter has any vibrations it can confuse the gyro, therefore
reducing its performance.

Binding

Binding can cause inconsistent tail performance. It is important to
remove any binding in your tail control system.

Slop

It is best to replace any worn tail parts from time to time. Worn parts
can also reduce your gyro’s performance.

Wag

When the tail rapidly cycles back and forth: This is due to having the

gain set too high or the SENS dial adjusted too fast (0) for the servo

you are using.

Fade

When the tail moves away from the holding yaw: This is due to having

the gain set too low.

Locked In

When the tail does not over react or under react to your fl ight: This
will take some testing and tuning, but you will know when it’s right.

Heading Hold

With your Gyro switched into Heading Hold the RC helicopter will
attempt to maintain its yaw (rotational fl ight position) in a cross wind

or awkward fl ight direction.

Normal

In Normal, the gyro will compensate the helicopter’s yaw, adjusting
for any torque changes due to the addition or subtraction of power
or increase - decrease in pitch.

Gain

In RC helicopters it is a term used to add or subtract gyro compensation
sensitivity to the tail control of the helicopter.
